The Practical Test
Currently we use Folkestone and occasionally Tunbridge
Wells Test Centres, but our on-road training takes place
throughout Kent and East Sussex.
The test lasts
about 40 minutes on a variety of different roads and in
differing traffic conditions.
It costs around
£60 and one test fee is included in our full course fee.
There is a simple eyesight test (reading a number
plate), and two 'Tell Me / Show Me' questions about machine safety checks to
answer before the ride begins.

Relax
Try to relax and
ride the way you've been taught, if you think you've made a mistake, put it
behind you and concentrate on the rest of the ride, it may not be as bad as
you think. The examiner will be following you (either on a bike or in a car)
and will be in radio contact throughout.
During the test there are a few set exercises to
perform, including the Emergency Stop and U-Turn.
At the end of the test you will be asked a
question about balance when carrying a passenger or luggage, before being told if you have been
successful or not.
Pass or Fail?
If you ride safely and demonstrate, through your
riding, a thorough knowledge of The Highway Code you will pass. The examiner is
not looking for absolute perfection, just a good, safe, correct ride.
It won't all be new to you...
We work hard to
prepare you for the experience, and evaluate your progress. We will have worked
on any weak points and ensured that you are fully prepared come test day!
