Hi, I just passed my A2 Module 2! I would like to thank you for these videos, they are possibly the best ones on youtube- they were excellent and very informative. I didn't take any lessons, but I used a combination of your videos, tips from others and I put those into practice for months. I would just like to thank you again!
I did however, get a lecture after the test from the examiner about going over bumps haha! Thanks again mate!

This is great. Good touch with the comments on why the checks would be done.
People tend to learn things quicker when they know the reasons behind why it's done.

@MrBanditMania Hi Alan, because of the introduction of the independent riding element of the motorcycle test, your examiner can literally take you anywhere in and around the Maiden City.

@learn2rideVIDEOS is this the test route for derry?
-
Thank you again.

@learn2rideVIDEOS You might also find that the machine is actually more prone to stalling when keeping the clutch held in for a prolonged period of time than when simply waiting in neutral.
Also remember that when a vehicle in front moves away, you need to scan the road surface beneath it & ensure that it has in fact moved away before you do. What if the vehicle pulls away, you follow immediately.. & then the vehicle in front stalls? (esp if a learner driver). It happens.

@moscowvespajoe You can find yourself waiting at some crossings for quite some time thus there is little benefit in holding the clutch lever in for a minute or two (as it will strain both the cable & muscles in your hand/ arm).
Some will argue that keeping the machine in gear allows for a 'quick getaway' should a vehicle come racing up behind you whilst you are stationary: but simply paying attention to what following vehicles are doing before you come to a halt should suffice..
-
In this video what is the reason for changing to neutral at the lights? My instinct as a new rider is to be ready for take off in 1'st , a bit nervous about letting the clutch out properly without stalling.

@EmpireM8 According to the Highway Code: use only while your vehicle is moving (or at start of test to show that it is working if examiner asks you to check) and you need to warn other road users of your presence.
Never sound your horn aggressively (or as a rebuke). You must NOT use your horn while stationary on the road or when driving in a built up area between the hours of 11.30 pm and 7.00 am (unless another vehicle poses a danger to you whilst you are stationary).
-
How would you use the horn during your test? To demon straight it effectively to examiner if needs be, great video
cheers dan
I've got a problem with letting drivers behind me know I'm going to slow down, by applying front brake slightly, because if I'm going 40 and want to slow to 30, I just come off the throttle a bit...is it natural to brake at the same time when doing this? I'm new to riding and it isn't easy holding the brake and throttle at the same time, as my hand soon starts to ache. Wouldn't it be easier if the brake light came on automatically when the bike reduced speed?

@moscowvespajoe here's a question; there are two riders on separate roads, both slowing down for a 30mph speed limit. One has no following traffic whilst behind the other there is a fully - laden, heavy goods vehicle that is following just a little too close. Each rider knows the area & so anticipates the change of speed limit, whereas the driver of the heavy is not familiar with the area (or distracted like a car driver).
Who would benefit from giving a brake signal & why?
