Don’t be afraid to twist n go a test instructor wants to see the confidence obviously within speed limit but don’t hang around basically get away from them metal boxes that are sat up your chuff maintain a dominant position don’t hug the curbs ,, and don’t dwell on any negatives to your ride your allowed faults as long as they not dangerous concentrate on what your doing not what you’ve done ...and good luck 😉
Good advice - especially about eating something. I passed Mod2 this week on the second attempt at a test centre 60 miles away from the school. First attempt was way too soon after i scraped through Mod 1 (2 minors). Failed for basic lack of control on the road, stalled twice turning right which on reflection was fair enough. So booked two more half day lessons and took the first appointment the school had at the unnamed centre two counties away! A long 90 minute ride on mostly single lane roads pretty well wiped me out. The instructor insisted on a decent cafe break really picked me up and as Rob says in this video, the examiner was at pains to put me at ease. First message as we left the test centre was 'I know you dont know the area, you're joining a 40...' and everything subsequnt to that was friendly and relaxed - he did give me a few minors mind you ;-) So reccommend you eat, drink, breathe deep and try to relax - good luck
Got my mod 2 re booked next week. Failed my last one as accidentally pressed the kill switch at some traffics lights and didn’t know what happened 😂 wish me luck for next week
I did my Mod 1 Test and Mod 2 Test with RJH at St Helens. I would like to say that if you do go to St Helens for your Test. The examiner’s there are really really nice 👍 they put you at your ease and are very nice People can’t fault them at all ✅
RJH Motorbike Training Hi Rob Yes I am I settled for a Kawasaki Versys 650 am ridding it around with a smile on my face. Will give it a couple of months then will be thinking about the advanced course. I past my Test on one of your Kawasaki Z650s really nice bike to learn on, would recommend RJH to anyone 👍
Hi Rob, just an update I had my module 2 today and I PASSED WITH ONLY TWO Faults. Just wanted to say a massive big thank you to you and your staff, without watching your videos and following your instructions I would’ve definitely not got this far without you guys. So a massive massive thank you. I will definitely give you positive feedback on Google. Ride safe 😊 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍 David
Good tips, lockdowns permitting I'm due to start my DAS in a few months. I remember on my car practical test when the instructor asked me to pull over almost right out of the carpark thinking exactly "Oh what have I done wrong". I'd forgotten about that until you mentioned it and I'll keep it in mind when I (if I) get to do my own Mod 2. Great video, thanks!
It's definitely worthwhile asking any questions before the test starts, I recently passed my Mod 2 test and before the test began when the examiner said "if we get separated just find the nearest safe place to pull in to the side of the road" and so I asked if I could even pull up on double yellow lines if I had to and the examiner said yes if I am still safe and visible to other drivers. It turns out in my test whilst going through a town centre, I got though some traffic lights and the examiner didn't so I had to pull up to the side of the road on some double yellows. However if I didn't ask that question first, I probably would have thought I shouldn't stop on double yellows and carried on, possibly riding too far and failing my test
Great advice Rob, even though i passed last year i still watch your videos. My first Mod2 i had a two hour one to one lesson with my instructor before the test then it was straight to the test centre and out for test, i failed, second attempt there was another learner, due to test times we had about an hours lesson then to the test centre, the other guy was out first (he failed) so i could sit in the centre for 40 minutes chatting to my instructor, was a lot more relaxed for the test and passed, the chill out time before the test made a huge difference.
@@RJHMotorbikeTraining From central Scotland Rob, have two bikes, a 2004 GSXR 600 and a 2014, Ducati Monster 696, i find both perfect but the Monster is a bit easier to ride, passed last Feb aged 50, wish i'd done it years ago but then i might have been a bit daft on bikes.
Hi Rob just to let you know I passed my mod 2 today and to say thanks for all your videos they really helped with the tips and practices I passed at Burton on Trent
Hey Rob, did my DAS course with you in Eccles a few years ago for my A2 license, thinking about upgrading to A license around March next year so I can ride the big boy bikes. Will be in touch. Jonny Lowther
@@RJHMotorbikeTraining Can I use my own ER6N for that or does it have to be a derestricted one for the test? Thinking of just booking one 3 hour lesson, split into 30 mins mod 1 training and 2.5 hours mod 2 training, is that possible? Thanks
Took the advice given and had good breakfast and tried the banana before i left lol thought i lost the motorcycle keys right at the start but eventually found them in my pocket lmao tbh MOD 2 test itself was fine and didn't feel that nervous either as examiner i had seemed a good bloke (drew ) from Worcester test centre and only felt like 10 minutes ride but near the end picked up 2 minors for undue hesitation and control as thought forgot to indicate then thought i forgot lifesaver even though i did lmao Didn't think I'd pass before taking test so was great to hear I'd passed and did feel like I'd passed tbh as felt good during test
My instructor doesn't sfu. He's even sometimes rushes me and makes me feel rushed and uncomfortable, especially coming up to round abouts. Sometimes I slow down and he's says too soon youl get reared or someone will pass you. My own safety IMO is more important than his instruction becuase sometimes I'm literally coming to a roundabout at 30mph and quickly doing mirrors, assessing the gears and front rear breaks. All rushed. Also if I'm turning letf on a roundabout and I give a quick glacé to my right for my own peice of mind he bollocks me for it and says in extra check that's not necessarily needed. Am I in the wrong
Well you need to be able to openly discuss this with your Instructor and mutual agree to move forwards. Without seeing it I couldn’t agree or disagree. I advise discussing with your Instructor
Not seen many videos on the show me tell me part. It would be good to see that explained and shown on a number of different bikes. When i did my mod2 that was the hardest thing to find info on, the dvla had some examples
@@RJHMotorbikeTraining yeah, i used your videos to pass my mod 1 and 2. Newer viewers dont always go over the back catalogues. New videos will get more views
The Time has come to suffer the slings and arrows of my Mod 2 on Tuesday 23rd Nov that’s if it doesn’t snow ⛄️ lots of thanks from Letchworth 🥷 The slings and arrows were out! Why do drivers do silly things when your on a test? The good news got through with 3 minors. Two were for not indicating but it didn’t effect anybody 😀 Thanks for your excellent advice on all sections of the tests from CBT to Mod 2
morning test .. never feel like eating i will now i failed again today 3rd time.. instructor says i know how to ride and i have made silly judgment call here. again.. serious fault of going over roundabout when i should have turned left ! think it would have been ok had i not had to then jump a lane lets say to get back around i think he was saying which makes sense now due to road lay out . also 1 minor today.. last time 2 minor 1 serious .. i will be eating next time thank you ! I think it must be nerves i cant seem to settle them I've spent so much on training .. too.. I'm Southampton i know my trainer is a good trainer he passes alot. just bit miffed and i guess IL just keep on practicing? and watching these videos maybe it would be a good idea to get road lay out as i am very new to the area? ive been on a 125 for about 8 years now prob half the issue to begin with .
Keep at it and you will get there. Try some calms from the chemist it might help with your nerves. Yes food and fluids are crucial to keep focused. Good luck and keep us posted.
@@RJHMotorbikeTraining i passed ! no faults! i think it was key for me to get a good nights sleep, and eat! i felt much more with it! and i felt i was in complete control of the whole journey alot more thank you for your tips!
Hi mate, wondering how long you would consider to be too long to take direct access after completing CBT if you weren’t riding between the two? Also would you say there was a better time of the year to learn? Thanks in advance
Noop Noop everyone is different. Take the advise of your CBT Instructors. No good or bad time do it when your ready. Winter is a good time to learn you appreciate the elements.
Very helpful video. Thanks. I have a question. When they ask you to pull over, are you allowed to pull over on to a yellow line (or even a double yellow)?
I just passed my MOD2 recently, he pulled me 1 minor fault as we came out of test centre on right turn, saying i delayed, but i know the road well (by costco) and it is ridiculously busy if you pull out and cause them to slow you are fucked, and if you wait you are fucked, he gave me another point on the approach to a roundabout, pushbike on entrance to the right and he said i should have just pulled out, it is a fucking farce, i have driven over 1million miles in a car (i know its not the same) but have seen the worst/best of drivers over the years, not sure the test is a fair representation of driving normally.
When your Examiner keeps his distance "you know its too late" I could tell you a story on that very subject!! After 20 years in business we have seen & smelt most things 🤣🤣
All this is a far cry to when I rode a test...just the one, not multiple....no instructor, read Highway Code and learn on the job so's to speak..Unfortunately the injury/death toll was high during that time. A few road safety films were televised from the sixties into the eighties, some aimed primarily at car drivers...'Think Bike' for instance. I've been riding a motorcycle for getting on sixty years, never get bored when I'm on one. My reactions are nowhere near as fast as they once were so I act accordingly... The only advice I can give is ..Treat all Cagers ( Car Drivers) as possible assassins most especially at roundabouts and junctions. Its not as bad as it sounds, just stay observant ...Greeting from España...Motorcyclists, the last of the free spirits..
