Love how your instructor decided to fly past you at the end there
Passed MOD 2 this morning.
Well chuffed.
Thanks for sharing very useful information.
Woo Hoo!
Passed my mod 2 today well chuffed now to take some bikes out for test rides feel like the kid in the sweaty shop lol 😆
Congrats! That's the way to go haha, go have some fun. Anything you're interested in particular?
I was at the scottish motorbike show yesterday and seen some stunning bikes. MV Agusta brutal is a stunning looking bike but super expensive there’s no way I could buy 2 bikes without the boss going mental and I like having my dinner lol I Liked the triumph tiger 800 sadly did not see bmw at the show they missed a trick wanted to see the 750GS going to go for a test ride on both at some point over the next few weeks possibly picking up a second hand bike for first bike ? Weirdly was looking at triumph street triple but not sure after getting on one now ?..
Sweaty or sweety? 😂
Passed my mod 2 today and been out on my gsx 600 all afternoon. I found this video very useful.thank you
Late here but congrats 👏
Glad you're having fun and only happy to have helped!
Mod 2 in a week today! love being able to find so many videos for tips and whatnot on here, watched your actual test as well!
I'd just like to say a big thank you as your videos really helped me pass my mod 1 and 2. Cheers.
Clicked on this video by chance, turns out you're at the same place I've got my tests booked (when lockdown ends) so this was especially helpful! Great vid!
What are the chances!
I'm glad you found it helpful, my post-lockdown project is that I'm going to try and create an updated mod 1 / mod 2 guide, similar to the old series! Much need. But you'll probably have long passed yours since haha
Good luck and let me know how it goes 🤞
Bro very well explained and thorough, really broke down each step.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately I failed Mod 2 on Friday on my first attempt.
Complacency is a killer.
I was less than 2 minutes away from returning to the test centre. I know the area very well. A black car on the other side of the road behind a park car happened to reverse out on to my side of the road as I was going past.
I saw it late and, got past safely but because I didn't stop, it got marked as a serious fault.
So guys that are taking your test, please remember, Complacency is a bummer!
Ah shame, you'll get it next time for sure!
Yeah that's why i tried emphasising that point at the end of my live mod 2 video
Passed mod2 this morning, cheers for the vid 👍
Thanks for sharing this. I want to book my test soon and this has really helped me. Also watched your mod 1. Both videos were very helpful 😊
No problem at all glad it's helped!
Check out my playlist if you're looking for the whole guide 😁
Great video and voice over.
Those are the emptiest roads ever witnessed!
Emptiest roads compared to where in particular 😂
Nice upload mate, thanks
Iv just watched your mod 1 & 2 videos now this one, Iv ridden geared crossers when young, had a moped at 16 got but unfortunately got rear ended and after the accident I never had the urge to jump on another bike but I really miss it. In 31 now so I’m going to book the a1 test soon I know il be fine on the roads ect but I really hope the nerves don’t get the better of me on the day! But thanks for the uploads 👍
Dude, thanks for all those videos you've uploaded. You've helped me a lot! I have my Mod 2 next week! All best.
No problem man, glad I've helped. Good luck and hope it goes well!
Did you pass....
@@C9S1 Thanks man!
@@WorldMinuteOne It's on Friday!
@@M.R1429 best of luck
Huge help, thanks
Brilliant ride and info only thing missing was reinforce the cancel indicators after the turn. Big fail if the examiner needs to tell you or you go past a turning. 😄
Great video! Taking my big license soon, very excited.
Just a quick note for everyone as laws are always changing.
The highwaycode updated in 2022 that gave pedestrians much higher priority.
At 12minutes50seconds, it was mentioned the rider has priority at junctions.
This is now outdated information. Pedestrians waiting cross have priority and road users must give way. This includes entering from a main road to side road and vice versa.
See Gov.uk, Hericachy, rule H2 for more information.
Hope this helps people not get caught out by new rules of the road on a test! Been driving a car for 9 years and taking some use to stopping on roads to allow pedestrians to cross in what i feel is a dangerous rule to getting rear ended by the car behind.
Watching your videos religiously just to get it all drilled in my head. Thanks :) Got my mod 2 tomorrow morning :o
Doing the same lol, mine is Wednesday coming
@@SuperRustyCookie good luck, I passed :)
@@FuchsiaShock i got mine on tuesday. Passed mod 1 yesterday - i went in knowing that i will fail - and i nearly put my foot down during u turn but fortunately passed with no minors. Any tips for mod 2? i am just going out to practice now.
@@arshadvohora don't be afraid. Mod 2 is just riding with biker friend. Do all checks. If in doubt about the speed limit, go 30. Regularly spaced lamp posts are 30 unless it says otherwise. Don't indicate too early. Good luck!
Thank you
Got my mod 2 tomorrow. Hopefully a pass. Good video thanks!
man i cant wait to do my mod 2 and get that 2 stroke supermoto XD
Funny thing about bike test is say you've never been on the road, you can do your cbt in a day and be on the road without having any road sense, no theory needed nothing just don't crash and you'll pass, and then your free to ride on the roads wherever you want aslong as its not a motorway.. that lasts 2 years, now you've been riding on the road for over a year you decide to do your full bike test..you your theory and then do mod 1 and mod 2, say you failed mod 2 you can still ride on the road just as you always have been..what is the difference in riding on the road for aslong as you like compared to paying to have your L plates taken off, even if you pass your still just riding as you were your just now on a bigger bike..nothing changed you rode there the same and rode back the same and rode as you've always rode😂 except your now about £1000 out of pocket just to have your Ls off 🤷♂️
Exactly it's a government sham, they should make the CBT last indefinitely for 125cc but con more money out of people.😂
@@techtinkerin sounds like you ride a 125 on a CBT
Good 👍 job
I have my Mod 2 test tomorrow morning, think I’ve lost half a stone in 2days from stressing 😣
I feel confident, but only had 3hrs of road work….your video is helping massively! About to watch it for a third time 🙏🏼
How’s it go!
I passed! I’ve had 9 months of pure bliss on the roads, and purchased my new big big bike last month, a Tracer 9GT 😍
@@suzymckee well done!
I just passed my theory test yesterday. Just need to buy a bike now and do the tests! How where they? I bet the nerves coming up to the mods are bad but once you are doing it you calm down.
@@DerKaktusAvant Well done my friend! 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Don’t know your situation, but I was a 30yr old mum of 3, with hubby working away…it was so stressful for me juggling home life, work and training/tests. Make sure you have a period in between tests to focus on yourself, get your head in a good place, but most importantly…find a bike school that you vibe off of, that is the single key to doing well.
I personally didn’t gel with my 125, I wanted to be like the big kids 😄 so over a period of 3 months I knocked all of my tests out, passing all first time.
I went for 3 mod one practice sessions, they said I didn’t need it, but I felt better in my mind. Keep your feet tucked right in when hazard avoidance…I booted the cone but it didn’t fall haha
Mod 2 I only had one session, but I’m a car driver, so again practice until you’re blue in the face. Concentrate on your indicators and cancellations, and make progress. It’s quite intimidating having the DAS bike lights behind you, so I played a game of burning him off at each roundabout and junction to get a breather from him, he said I made good confident pull outs and made good progress so that was a bonus hehe
Aim in your mind for when you want to pass by, that gave me something to work towards, or else you just bimble along as you are.
Good luck, and keep me posted ☺️
@@suzymckee thanks for the advice.
I am 20 years old, passed my car test less than a month after I turned 17! My family owns a farm so have been on bikes and in cars all my life.
Been watching lots of videos about the tests and I think I’ve got it. Think I’ll go for the tests and if I fail I’ll do a lesson.
I like the idea of pulling away at junctions and roundabouts, as long as you are doing it safely I guess they don’t really care.
Thanks again, stay safe out there! I’ll definitely let you know - I want to pass by the end of may so expect my reply to be around then!
Nice
Great Video!! Helped me do my Mod 2 today.
Respect brv
That’s exactly the place I’m doing my licence and I’m riding exactly that bike us you in the video hahah just waiting to do my mod 2 next week
Hoping it was meant to be haha.
How did it go?
The Future mod 1 no faults, mod 2 no faults :) so proud of my self haha
Hey that's NLMT 😃😃 I am doing my tests with them..
Hello. I also student at NLMT. I hope to pass A2 auto MOD2 test next month. Which I have failed recently.
Question.
If you're on a duel carriage way following someone doing 50mph, are you able to overtake them without your test examiner telling you too? Like can you make that decision yourself, as long as its all within the speed limit etc?
Also, could you just follow someone doing 50mph? Or are you expected to overtake
5:35 Why do you mention that you should've been in position 1 (over to the left)? That would only encourage cars to creep up next to you and it would give you a worse line into the left hander. If it was a junction I could see it being courteous as to let those wanting to turn right also pull up to the line, but on a roundabout you need to command your lane and make others wait behind you.
That's the correct line for a left turn. Another way to let people know where you're going and stops people undercutting you.
What bike did you use for this?
passed mine yesterday only one fault which im suprised because im sure i had more
Good tips are some of the rules rules the same as a car test ?
Yes, there's a lot of overlap if you remove the bike related things such as positioning. Anything in specific you were thinking about, like speed?
i found mod2 very easy but that mod one was difficult for me
dont do "real world" things as examiners dont want to see this. Can we just think about this for a second? how crazy is that?
Slaves to the system
Stupid mate. Makes the idea of a test far more daunting as it’s all so contrived. It’s like trying to remember lines and moves for a fucking theatre performance.
@@SwashbucklingPirate93 Lol your comment couldn't be more accurate
Right but if you wanna experience ‘real world riding’
India will be your best choice 😁😂
Can someone explain why you need to check your mirrors before accelerating? I don't see why you should be looking back at that point
I only use this in every day riding when I'm stopped and I'm pulling away (as I don't agree it's necessary) but DVSA teach you to do it any time you change speed. When slowing down you should always do it however of course, test or no test.
It's so you're aware if there any vehicles behind you in the event of overtaking, having to break sharply and other things more probable to happen when accelerating. It's excessive though as mentioned as you're already going to be doing rear mirror checks regardless in these events. I guess it's so you don;t get 'caught out' or surprised when a car's there when you didn't expect it to be. There's a whole range of other bs stuff they teach tbh...where I'm sure advanced motorcyclists can agree on is not necessary as it detracts from the more important things.
You may have someone overtaking.
Passed mod1 today, got my mod2 in 3 days..!
Nervous
Andrew Sheldon well done mate! First time? Got mine next month 😬
@@anthonydickinson3502 When's yours? Mines on the 17th of December. Can't wait!
Is this your own bike, can i ask what bike it is please
It's a Suzuki gladius sfv 650 :)
How many hours of training you need it to get to mod 1 test ?
As many as you like or none. Just train or 125cc and then borrow friends bike or something.
Yeah technically 0 but a few couple hours days should be enough for most! Or full days if you have 0 experience. You can get up to speed really quickly with the right instructors
What test will I have to take to ride 250CC don't want to go bigger than 250CC
You need to do the A2 category (all categories require mod 1 and mod 2 - the tests are the same apart from you're on a bigger or smaller bike etc)
@@C9S1 thank you
you mentioend 4:24 about the fact that there was no signage telling you there is a dual carrigeway, the sign telling you there is, you pass at 4:37!
*HI WHAT TEST ROUTE IS THIS?*
it's not a standard test route, it was just a short mock. also there's no point memorising a single route in an area as there so many different ones / combinations
@@C9S1 thanx for the reply
nw london geeza
I'm going to do my training on this school, What about a good school
I'm confused with your question
@@C9S1 I'd like to know if the instructors are good
@@gingador21 Most of them are good, and most offer trials, which in turn also test how you much training you need. Try out a few local ones, a quick Google search is all you need, and once you've met / ridden with them it's easy to see who the good ones are. Also depends what your budget is.
You would have failed being in the inner lane on the roundabout, lucky no car was to your left, should have gone all the way round or turned right if you realise you are in the wrong lane
should you do life safe before you - speed 60 mph from 30 mph .
I’ve passed a couple of weeks ago and they want you to check mirrors before increasing speed (and before decreasing)
14:19 Gixxer 🤤
Do none of these module 2 uploaders do their life savers?
That's what mock tests are for!
Which bit was missed, as far as I'm aware - small / minimal changes in positions don't require it, only a mirror check
The Future I passed my test just before Christmas and I was taught if there is a parked car or you are going to turn left or right you have to check your sides. Pretty much anything requires a life saver.
Thats just what i was taught rightly or wrongly. That said I’ve been driving for a decade and i wont be doing checks as often as I was taught because I feel like you get this mental image when you are on the road and it’s only when I instinctively feel I need to update this image that I make extra checks.
At 7:55 - You messed up the lanes. If i were you i would simply just turn right after i choose wrong lane, and i wouldnt care whatever direction examiner gave to me. Is it minor or major fault if you go straight /exit two/ from second lane? Wouldnt you fail on the test?
Right after this roundabout, you stopped at red lights behind silver VW. You blocked the entrance to Mcdonalds. It is also fault, isnt it?
1. 7:55 You're right, it's better to have just gone around the roundabout then back out. I actually made a similar mistake in my Mod 2 and did not even get a minor for it (although it was a mini roundabout and positioned so it made sense to be in lane 2) but at most you'd get would be a minor for lane positioning, as long as you're not causing any extra danger to other drivers. It's really is a common sense thing, so don't worry about that too much especially regards to unmarked ones or mini roundabouts.
2. Absolutely not. Stopping in front of entrances / dropped kerbs while riding normally is perfectly acceptable and actually almost impossible to avoid in the city / rush hour! Obviously the only exceptions being yellow box junctions, or 'keep clear' signs (btw keep clear in the real world is not-enforceable and is merely a suggestion) but in your test you could potentially get a minor for stopping in one for impeding flow of traffic. And also again this only applies when you're riding, not if you get asking to pull over where safe (in which case you have to avoid dropped kerbs / driveways and ofc double yellow lines - the examiner might tell you not to worry about single yellow lines like in my test.
Hope that clears that up
@@C9S1 : Thank You; i try to collect as much useful info as possible to pass mod2 smoothly. Your comment is one of them.:) I appreciate it.
