No one is trying to fail students. If you start to think that they’re trying to fail you then you’ll struggle to pass as you’ll be riding angry and nervous.

Remember a lot of people fail at the speed trap, just belt it ! You will be fine …. It usually happens because people look at the speedo then come off the power a little too soon… a split second off that power and then engine breaking will drop you a good 5-7 mph.. just keep power on and go higher than you need

I just recently passed mine here in St Helens Paul the examiner was a really decent guy he explains everything in detail and he doesn't rush you.

Same course, same examiner I had for both Mods 1 and 2. Glad to hear you passed in the end.

Failed my Mod1 two days ago 😢 after 4 days trg, I got a call night before test to say they've had mishap with my bike. Had half hr before test on a taller bike, it fell on top of me but still went to test..mirror fell off half way through uturn and I put foot down..passed everything else ok so now trying to pick myself up..good luck to everyone out there, you're doing great to keep at it

remember figure of 8 you can go wide and also don’t need to stay in the blue cones you can go around that yellow one also

Despite being long time since the videos being made, a lot of people fail on the last exercise,including myself being 1mph less than the speed requirement both attempts and on my second attending was on the edge a bit but managed to pass it within the requirements from second attempt. Key point to be made is never to underestimate anything as it can be your fall which we dont want.

Just to let up some confusion. I did fail by 1kph, cause I was made to do it on 2nd attempt even tho my speed was 1mph off target the first time. I passed the 2nd time but I had a bad crash so I'm out for upto 12 months so got to get mod 2 done soons I'm better

It looked perfect to me

Open up the throttle in 2nd gear. Dont be scared to go well over. My practice run was 69kmp. Two official were 59kmp

Good U turn in this video, big tip , get the revs up, use the clutch only and some break break to keep stable, as you turn, look down the road and keep head up, it will stop you putting the foot down

Didn’t see a problem with that should be a pass. examiner must have been having a bad day

Thanks for showing a real test in its entirety. Pretty confident with my maneuvers, but the speed requirement is the thing I'm most worried about. My bike is a very old CBF125 and it is not a powerful machine, nor does it accelerate fast. I'm worried about looking at the speedometre to check I've got the speed while also performing the maneuver. I strongly suspect my speedo is wrong as well and reads higher than my actual speed - there are a couple of those digital signs that tell you your speed near me and they never seem to match up to what my bike's telling me! Think I'm just going to have to belt it and hope I reach the required speed so I can concentrate on the maneuver. Anyway, glad to see you passed second time and hope you're fully recovered from your accident!

Remember when your finished it’s still exam conditions so make sure you kick that kick stand a few times, hold the front break in whilst you dismount and ensure it’s neutral… it ends once your off

Thanks for showing this pal 👍

I failed my mod1 today! Everything was going perfect and the speed i did was 64km/h but on the last exercise, hazard avoidance, i touched the blue cone.... I went home and had a very decent cry and felt like I've failed myself!! I've booked another test which is in two weeks time but its just extra expenses... And i really wanted to do it first time! I was just not careful enough.

You need to re-check. You can be up to 2mph below and it's classed a minor fault. You can have up to 5 minor faults and still pass. Furthermore, if you fail any speed test by more than 2mph you get asked if you'd like to try it again, this classes as 1 minor fault. If you failed your test on this video, it was for much more than what was uploaded.

I failed my MOD1 at st helens.He got me on onservations.Examiner was a broad scouser and i couldnt understand a word he said so my arse was going ballistic.Since then ive passed my full test.The mod2 is easier in st helens 👍

No observations after emergency stop. Also video cut after examiner talking after emergency stop and as engine put into gear and revving, no observations. Very useful video to watch though, thanks for uploading

I found it better not to look at speedo as its reads higher than it is, I gave it a little spurt of power mine was averaging 53 kmph

i went on my 125 and failed i could not get it to speed, also fail on emergency stop ,,is this reason you do test on quicker bike ?

Slow ride, just put the revs up, use the clutch to keep stable and rest on the back break it will stop the wobble like in the video

This would have probably help if it was explained why you failed but a good video to give an idea of what to expect thank you

the exact thing happened to me just yesterday, gutted!! But I swear your speedo was reading 32 just as you went through the trap which should have been a pass. I guess the bike speed may have been off.

It's a 600, just open it up! Cyclists in London are doing 30mph these days...

Just did this today on a cg 125, the only faults 49 kmh on em stop and slight skid in rain, 46 kmh then 50 on 2nd go of avoidance. I was pretty surprised when he said pass. I think he liked the old cg125 to be fair!😂

Failed aswell the other day! Got 0 minors but forgot that last shoulder check before you make the U turn! Was gutted I can’t stop kicking myself about it😡😂 Nerves play a big part

Can you just go over 35 to be safe or is there a speed limit?

failed mine twice first time emergency stop (skidded but didnt feel it until the last second was soaking wet pissing it down) 2nd time u turn ( target fixation) both times had miners but 3rd attempt did it with clean sheet no miners, first two times was with one examiner and 3rd with different both speed traps was 59kph, i know i had majors in both my 1st and 2nd but think if i had same examiner in third i would have had miners, all depends on the examiner,

I passed my mod 1 today and it was hard, between nerves and all that shit.... I can tell you it wasn’t easy!!!!

Your speedo doesn't show your real speed, it will be 3mph or so UNDER your real speed. You need it to show 35mph for these tests.

You can't fail by 1kph?? I had 1 rider error for going 49 instead of 50 on hazard avoidance

That looked almost perfect to me, what did you fail on? All I can see is you missed one left and right check just after the emergency stop and your speed was just a little less than it should have been, for me that was a pass?

Did he 4get to do a life saver on the u turn?

Glad I'm not alone, did 48kmh, failed.

Looks everything fine to me wee but speed is missing I think.

Seems the examiners are trying to fail students, well how else are they gonna get work 😤

Failing for that seems a bit harsh...

I failed the first time be because my foot touch the floor and 30 not 32. The second time I failed because my foot touch a cone right at the end. Waiting for my third and final test. If I don't pass that it. It to expensive.

Are you ok after your crash?

Is that st Helens, pretty sure I had the same guy...wasn't a big fan of his tbh

Sorry I’m new to this but what did you do wrong

That was a pass!!

Even though you failed you can still ride home by yourself so it's not all bad...if you fail car licence you can't ride it home by yourself ...

Is this on the isle of wight?

Why did you fail? Everything looked OK?

Speedo is always 2-4mph faster than u are going. Do 35mph then roll off throttle at speed cones be a perfect 32mph.

but you did 32 through the trap though?

On u turn never checked over right shoulder

Its easyyyy. Just reach 32mph right before speed trap and hold it until he raises his arm. For the obstacle manoeuvre you just need to hit 32mph prior to speed trap and hold it until you reach speed trap let go do manoeuvre..

Shite! 😤 it's like a lottery

I’m confused. My “stop in the box” was 25mph and he asked if I wanted to try again, so I did. Hit 38. And the swerve was also too slow the first time and he asked if I wanted to try again, got 37 on the second. They can’t tell you what speeds you did as the time but they can show you and offer another attempt.

Dunno why people make it hard on themselves when moving the bike square to square. Take it straight out backwards. Then stop, go forward into a u turn so it’s then facing the other way with the rear pointing at the second box, then reverse into the box…. Look every time you change direction. Easy

hahah failed bro what how

?

I will give it a miss you look good and still dint pass just money grabbing

I think i did 58mph in the speed trap and came to an e stop within a couple of bike lengths. I had a brand new yamaha mt07 with abs. ABS is a cheat code. I'd recommend anyone doing mod1 to do with a class with brand new bikes

Failed my mod 1 nearly two years ago. Hated the whole experience. Will never ride again.

Emergency break, don’t use back at all ! And squeeze the front to stop any skids .. in this video it was a prefect emergency stop

All of this bullshit is made out to be safety but its just another way to put people off riding motorcycles! 🙄
