Guys, at 2.17 in this video Stephen has just entered a junction and you say: " and use your indicator mate". Am I right in thinking he should have used his left indicator, is this considered a left turn? At first I thought it was a roundabout. Also, my instructor tells me Mod 2 is easy to pass than Mod 1, and plain sailing by comparison. I just can't see that though, it seems to me there's much more can go wrong on Mod 2 and you really have to be on your game not to collect minors and faults.

[learn2rideVIDEOS]

@moscowvespajoe yes, left indicator. It is a roundabout & some argue about best practice when travelling straight ahead on an RB whether a rider should indicate or not. In this case it was simply to help eradicate any confusion & signal the rider's intention to other road users that he would remain in the left hand lane (as correct lane discipline is required on test remember & the road widens into three lanes at this point).

Either test should be fine provided you train for it.

I found this one of the most useful videos on the net. Instructor is firm but fair, gives praise not just criticism . Please do more like this with students who make the mistakes we do, so we can see how it should be done. One problem I have though is that the Official DAS examiners, while they should of course be professionals, often seem to be very patronising and smarmy, and they don't put you in the right mood for the test. No wonder so many fail first time.

[learn2rideVIDEOS]

@moscowvespajoe thank you. There is a fine line between under - instruction & over - instruction as every trainee has their own strengths & weaknesses: what works for one

may not necessarily for another. More cautious pupils require perhaps more encouragement whereas over - confident pupils may need to better understand the risks of over confidence linked to crashing. Pupil in this case was riding for a few years & a confident rider so just needed to eradicate a few bad habits.

Get the lessons in and it will pay off! It did for me. :o)

A wise man once said: "If you wanna pass, get off your ass."

It's true. You only get out what you put in.

@markw15eman or why not Google 'Learn2Ride Motorcycle Training' and click on 'Reviews' on the official Learn2Ride website for a more in-depth appraisal of training methods and whether or not past pupils deem Learn2Ride MC Training as a good instructor (nevermind their consistently high pass-rates)?

thanks for commenting

[learn2rideVIDEOS]

@moscowvespajoe you could check with the DSA for overall pass rates & get an exact percentage.

As with anything in Life, "If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail." (or "If you wanna pass get off your ass!") Therefore if you train with a good school, listen to the advice given to you, practice regularly & book your test when your instructor feels that you are ready there should be no problem theoretically. (It's not a guarantee that you'll pass just a statement of readiness).

[moscowvespajoe]

@L2R,

On that note, in your experience, can you say what percentage of students Pass Mod 2 first time? Would you say most fail first time and have to go again? I'm not asking about pass rates for your school, just an honest appraisal of the situation in general.

[learn2rideVIDEOS]

@VCRAGE On test day examiners usually specify that you must stay in the left-hand lane at all times unless otherwise directed. In this case, had the pupil not received an instruction/ request, he'd have proceeded in the left hand lane (that goes both straight ahead & to the left & is clearly marked). The important point to note however is not whether a fault is deserved or not, but to realise that as a motorcyclist we are vulnerable & regardless of who is in the right or wrong- we pay the price

[VCRAGE]

1:34 he didn't really change lanes though, he approached a widening mouth of a junction, before that the road didn't have dividing lines to make it into a separate lanes. That cannot be a fault otherwise it would be wholly unfair to the rider/driver in any such situation..

Although he should have signalled at the lights since he was in the right turning lane :)

@jaspsoftware you're very welcome
