Shocked this has so few views. Very professional, great instruction, straight to the point and super easy to follow. Hats off lads. Brillo job. Liked and Subscribed.
I love the calming tones. It stayed with me. Passed first time. Perfect score. Wish I could say the same for mod 2! Took me 2 attempts to get a perfect pass on that. First time I took the piss on a dual carriageway with my overconfidence.
I did all my lessons with a driving school - RJH - and the cost included the use of a bike & clothing. That's how most do it but you could just book your own test and use you own bike if you have one.
This video really put my mind at rest and calmed me down before the mod 1 test this week, I very much appreciate you making it and putting it out there. I passed as well, so that’s a relief! Thanks very much!
Wow honestly mate I've seen tons of videos for mod 1 this is the best and most funniest I've ever seen. I hope you get millions of views like the other much worse videos and can finally buy proper bike from all the revenue
After watching many Mod 1 test prep videos like this one, I passed without a single fault with ease! Usually I'm so nervous about any kind of test, but two things really helped me so hopefully they will help someone here too! 1. The test area is SO much bigger than the practice area of the driving school I was at. It makes you feel so much less enclosed and mentally like you have more room to manoeuvre. 2. Take your time after each instruction. It's easy to let the occasion get the better of you and rush into things. Stop, take a deep breath. Taking a few seconds to process and remember what you have to do is much less time than waiting weeks to retake. You have paid for this test and the examiners time - USE IT. After each instruction, relay it back to the examiner to ensure you understand. Stop. Breath. Do your checks, move away slowly. Good luck!
Thanks. My riding schools practice area seems quite small (and on a slight hill) so it feels harder than It could potentially be (Mod 1 and mod 2 next week)
This video is just a great example of a TH-cam hidden gem. Excellent quality video with low views/likes, what a shame! This is very informative and fun to watch. Thank you very much for making this video.
Thanks mate for your videos I watched your video on theory test and passed first time , Now I’ve booked my DAS , Your videos are good there straight to the point and you don’t bombard your viewers with information👍
So this guys checks are all super quick, make assured checks and most of all - before the U turn, do a full life saver (look backwards down the pad). You may be failed for doing something similar to the video. The main thing is to control your nerves, deep breaths before ever exercise and never rush. The test itself is pretty easy but convincing yourself that is the hard bit. ( lil tip, eating a banana about 30mins before helps settle those nerves )
I spotted this straight away. It's the same as when you have been told to pull into a safe place during your Mod 2 road ride, when told to set off a full reward check to the right is crucial. I have heard people fail for not performing that observation correctly.
Really appreciate this mate, got my mod1 in 3 weeks and mod2 in 4 weeks. I'm super nervous, ridden motocross for 30 years and never been so nervous for a test. The car is a piece of piss
Ah cheers pal, good luck with the test. You’ll be sound with the bike control stuff, it’s just learning the test but memorise all this and you should be golden! Let me know how you get on 🤞
Got my Mod1 tomorrow, watched loads of vids and this is the most in depth one I've seen! Learnt a few things too!! Great work mate and cheers for sharing!!
@@BeinginMotion Hi mate. I passed on Thursday with 2 minors having had 2 lessons 3 hours each...just go's to show, the instructor wanted me to have 3 lessons so 9 hours in total mmmmm. Thanks again for the comment, good luck and your great video.
@@bradcheshire Congratulates mate, that's the harder one done I reckon! Glad to be of service. I guess they have to teach to the average joe, maybe? Or maybe they wanna grab a bit more money... who am I to say?!

Hi mate, hope your well. I know you've not posted a video for a while so hopefully your just busy with life. I know ive mentioned this before but your videos are mint! Very high production value and helped me, and im sure loads of others pass there mod 1 and mod 2. Hope whatever your doing now is making you happy. All the best my fellow biker.
Thanks mate - honestly I really appreciate that - yeah it's been a rough few years tbh but I'm getting a new bike soon and I will start posting again. TH-cam (at my level) doesn't make the time it takes to make these videos rewarding, but hearing that deffo does!
Brilliant video, thank you! I've had my CBT for about a year, have just passed my theory and will be using your videos to prepare for my Mod 1 and Mod 2. Thanks again!
Cracking vid mate. Very impressed. I’m prepping for the mod 1 and this is super helpful. Love the calmness and the animations are on point. Thanks for creating such a great tutorial
This video is perfect, I have my mod 1 tomorrow, I've watched this video a few times and it's really helpful. Thanks mate, really appreciate the video.
Thank you! I hate TH-cam vids that beat around the bush... Good look today - let me know how you get on - also, I put the MOD 2 vid up last week so check that out!
This is perfect instructional - thanks. The day before the Mod 1, I spent a day getting a feel for my hired bike 650cc. I've never riden a big bike and last time I rode a bike was 6 months prior on my CBT. taking this into account my instructors felt I had enough confidence and skill with the bike I learned on ALL day - I surpassed my other (experienced) students and basically smashed my 3 x mock Mod 1 test at there centre with not a single fail on the last two mock test!. I was elated and ready for the Mod 1 with confidence. However next morning for the real deal Mod 1 my instructors changed my bike ( said it was up for an M.O.T.!)..I had 25mins to warm up before riding out to the DVSA test centre. It was a complete different ride - same model but complete different feel - the balance, the clutch, braking and handling. My heart sank and my confidence withered by the minute until I was self doubting my ability to control this bike. I was unhappy. Of course I faild the Mod 1 within the slow monurveres- I put my foot down! Instant fail - this caused me to panic and I missed a life saver before the U - turn monuvere. I was the only one who failed that day..I still feel awful and down about it. Did I get sabataged with the last minute bike switch? I'm taking the test again in 4 weeks. Shall I appeal against this treatment to my instructor(s) to the owner of the school? Just felt I was ripped off or taken for a ride! To get more money out of me - another £144 quid. I mean, should they have pulled this stunt on me?..should they have given me a bike to learn on all day knowing it had to go for an mot next day?..is this right? Well disappointed. Would be gratful for your thoughts and some feed back...
Hello, cheers for the sub and your kind words! Yeah, that's very harsh, I think most of us new riders would struggle doing the test on a different bike - you get used to the riding position, handling characteristics - but then you're putting mental effort on the basics and not the test, so I absolutely understand your frustration. I'm not sure an appeal will get you anywhere, certainly won't with the DVSA and it's them who charge either you or the driving school a fee for the Mod1. It's worth telling the driving school that you feel it was an avoidable mistake on their part, they might do something on their costs but that's down to their goodwill rather than any obligation...
@@BeinginMotion gratitude..appriciate your consideration. I think i am going to pass my MOD 1 and 2, then ask for remuneration. At the very least for a positive review and future recommendation. I look forward in veiwing and sharing all your content - by far the best on these topics. Creative editing - solid Gold.
interesting that figure 8 you have no boundaries... in my country fig 8 is made inside "rectangle" and if you touch the line it's over, we also have 2 types of slalom, slow and fast
@@BeinginMotion I passed my A2 jist over a Year ago now I've recently gone from A2 to DAS passed aswell now I have a Suzuki bandit thankyou for checking up hope you are well. 😃
Great video. I watched this many times leading up to my test last week, I’m pretty sure it played a part in helping me pass. Now onto the mod 2 video! 👍
ive got my mod 1 in 4 weeks, very nervous, had a first ever fall today after riding a 125 for 7 years, decided to go for A licence and for some reason i just carnt get a feel for the bike im training on, wobbly carnt seem to get the clutch under control, i know its all in my head, but ill get there, this video is great for explaining everything
Good luck on the test! It sounds like you know where the problem is,try and get as much time on the bike as you can and as you say you’ll get there. Every bike feels different and strange at first. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for watching!
Great advice I have my mod1 coming up and have already booked my mod 2nit a great idea but they seem to be a waiting list and my instructor seems confident in me hopefully no silly mistakes, brilliant video
Hit send before i finished, I did my test before this ...stuff I did pass the advanced rider test but the world is different today I need to help her get the basics, your vids are helping me to help her she has cbt 1st June...theory 5th June..
Thanks Gordon, yeah even for experienced riders, learning the test is what half of it's all about. Good luck for your wife's tests, I'd love to get my wife riding but she won't even go pillion! Thanks again!
@@GDUBMX Only went and passed it. One rider fault, bit of a long emergency stop. Pass is a pass though, happy as a pig in poop. Got my Mod 2 tomorrow. Feeling good about it, just hope the rain holds off.
Hi I failed my mod 1 test today on the avoidance I hit the cone. 😡 any tips you can give please. I have rebooked the test and a extra lesson so hopefully next time I will do it 🤞🏽
Sorry about the late reply, did you retake it? For the avoidance I'd say use countersteering, look at the cone furthest away and just practice - it can feel a bit sketchy doing a sharp input at those speeds but your bike will keep upright.
Hi thank you I will try looking at the far cone this time. I think cos I looked at my speedo. I'm retaking it on the 9th November fingers crossed. Just waiting for new update on the lock down
I kept doing that in my practice! My instructor told me to get used to the vibrations, the revs and sense of speed at 50kph without looking, that helped me... www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-driving-tests-and-theory-tests has the latest covid info on tests, still going ahead for now in England & Scotland but not in Wales... Fingers crossed 🤞
Mate I was gutted when I noticed that mistake. The tests can be pretty nerve wrecking I’m not gonna lie but the best bit of advice I got was to break it down move by move, when you practice and in the test. It’s not as intimidating plus you know where you’re strong / weak. Good luck tho and thanks for watching!
Brilliant video however the engine size might be inaccurate or out of date information, I carried out my MOD 1 this morning and was informed that the minimum power output for the A category is 61bhp which I was short of by a few horses. Anyway couldn't complete the test because of this so just a heads up
I have my mod one tomorrow 9.40 the 2nd one I made a rookie mistake…just outside the gate after the test I was reversing back I checked behind..and barely touched another bike it really was minor I can’t tell you..they failed me I was Gutted,the examiner said he was about to pass me 🤦♂️.so true your not done till you get off your bike..so here goes tomorrow 🙏❤️🥂
Another great video! It's mental how there are 13 chances to miss a shoulder/life saver check 😂 Also a little misinformation in regards to test engine size; A1 120-125cc max 11kw A2 minimum 395cc max 35kw A minimum 595cc minimum 40kw 😊
Great video thanks,. Im still a little confused as to what I need to take . I have passed my CBT and theory and have been riding a honda 125 but want to move up to a himalayan what test do I need to take .
Hey Vic, so an A2 licence covers the Himalayan - 395cc / >47bph so you could do the whole test process on that bike BUT if you ever wanted a bigger bike you'd have to do the licence again on a bigger bike. IMO I'd say do it on a 600cc and you're set for life!
No, the test centre is just where the test goes down. They belong to the DVSA and they won't provide you with any equipment. If you get training with a school they'll provide you with a bike, helmet, jacket, insurance and the training. You could book a test with the DVSA directly if you already have a bike and don't need the training but most learners will get a package from a school that includes training, the bike and all the tests.
Can I just tell anyone who is watching this before doing there mod 1. Before you start the U turn exercise a glance to your left is fine but you should do a full rearward check to your right before setting off, a side glance is not enough for most examiner's. You must also do this while on your Mod 2, examiner's will ask you to pull into a safe spot during the ride and not doing the full rearward glance when setting off can fail you. Mirrors and observations are not enough !
Excellent videos. Got my theory in a few weeks and CBT and Mod 1 shortly after. These are helping me a lot. Excellent quality and great narration. Thank you
I'm not 100% sure to be honest, but the bottom line is that they want to see you in full control of your bike and that's subjective - they might argue that you're not in full control if you just have a handle on the bars only.
@@BeinginMotion passed 😊 Was pissing it down with rain aswell haha. I think its just mind over matter, if you can ride reasonably well there is no reason to fail.
When you push the bike into the parking bay can you push it forward then walk back with it to the other parking bay? Or do you have to do it all in reverse
Best of luck! Practice is the best medicine, get used to the sound and feel of the bike at speed so you can keep more of your focus on the cones! Fingers crossed!!
Thank to your amazing video i have just passed my mod1 onto the next… mod2 here we go again.
That’s great to hear! Congratulations and I appreciate your kind words sir!

Sorry about the late reply, did you retake it? For the avoidance I'd say use countersteering, look at the cone furthest away and just practice - it can feel a bit sketchy doing a sharp input at those speeds but your bike will keep upright.
Hi thank you I will try looking at the far cone this time. I think cos I looked at my speedo. I'm retaking it on the 9th November fingers crossed. Just waiting for new update on the lock down
I kept doing that in my practice! My instructor told me to get used to the vibrations, the revs and sense of speed at 50kph without looking, that helped me...
www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-driving-tests-and-theory-tests has the latest covid info on tests, still going ahead for now in England & Scotland but not in Wales...
Fingers crossed 🤞
doing my tests in may and this really helped, thanks!! great production on the video too!! unluckiiiii
Thanks Mat, best of luck on your tests!
7:06 wouldn't this be for the A2 Mod 1 test? I thought A1 was only up to 125cc
Yes indeed - that my friend is me making an error! A1=125cc, A2 =395cc as you say...
@@BeinginMotion sad times. I really enjoy this style of video. I'm hoping to do my A2 eventually but I shit myself thinking about it..
Mate I was gutted when I noticed that mistake. The tests can be pretty nerve wrecking I’m not gonna lie but the best bit of advice I got was to break it down move by move, when you practice and in the test. It’s not as intimidating plus you know where you’re strong / weak. Good luck tho and thanks for watching!
@@BeinginMotion you also said u can pass with 5 major faults but fail with one major
Brilliant video however the engine size might be inaccurate or out of date information, I carried out my MOD 1 this morning and was informed that the minimum power output for the A category is 61bhp which I was short of by a few horses. Anyway couldn't complete the test because of this so just a heads up
Ah that sucks mate. Cheers for the heads up though!
I wish TH-cam let you swap bits out rather than having to re-upload a new video...
I have my mod one tomorrow 9.40 the 2nd one I made a rookie mistake…just outside the gate after the test
I was reversing back I checked behind..and barely touched another bike it really was minor I can’t tell you..they failed me I was
Gutted,the examiner said he was about to pass me 🤦♂️.so true your not done till you get off your bike..so here goes tomorrow 🙏❤️🥂
How did you get on with round 2?
@@BeinginMotion failed mod 2 take again July 26 10,30 🙏🥴
Hello again, just checking - did you get your licence 2nd time lucky?
@@BeinginMotion hi yes passed on second time mod 2 😎🥂🙏
Awesome video, great detail yet to the point. Got my test on Monday! Feeling more prepped having watched this tho :)
Appreciate that amigo, good luck for Monday. Lemme know how you get on!
@@BeinginMotion Thank you! I Passed :) - This video definitely helped, so thank you very much!
got my mod 1 on MONDAY! BRICKING IT LETS GOOOOO!
Passed! 0 minors even though my emergency brake was dodgy bahahah GET IN
Congrats Charlotte - zero minors too!
Great content
Very helpful buddy, thanks
Another great video! It's mental how there are 13 chances to miss a shoulder/life saver check 😂 Also a little misinformation in regards to test engine size;
A1 120-125cc max 11kw
A2 minimum 395cc max 35kw
A minimum 595cc minimum 40kw
😊
Just notice someone already mentioned 🤦
Thanks! Yeah I was annoyed at myself there; I think at that stage of making the video I’d stopped all critical thinking!!
Thanks, this is really helpful.
I hope it helps! Good luck 🤞
Most Helpful!👏👏👏
Cracking informative video thank you just been told got my mod1 next week it was very helpful 👍
Thanks man! Hey, best of luck! Let me know how you get on. I uploaded the Mod 2 vid the other day too for when you're ready!
Just watched it
Thanks most helpful 🥂
Thanks a ton man 👍
Great video thanks,. Im still a little confused as to what I need to take . I have passed my CBT and theory and have been riding a honda 125 but want to move up to a himalayan what test do I need to take .
Hey Vic, so an A2 licence covers the Himalayan - 395cc / >47bph so you could do the whole test process on that bike BUT if you ever wanted a bigger bike you'd have to do the licence again on a bigger bike. IMO I'd say do it on a 600cc and you're set for life!
Great video, I would have liked to see the real life situation with the high speed manoeuvres
Thanks @Fabio! So, I did have my GoPro for exactly that but I set it to timelapse by mistake which was unusable!
Very well put together for you first few videos nice one👍🏻
Thanks very much 👍
I passed mod1 thanks. Now mod2
Great info got mine on 18th nov just hope its not cancelled because of lockdown here in wales
hope not mate... 🤞
@@BeinginMotion and me been a long 10 months waiting
What a fantastic video thanks
Thanks Iain, I really appreciate that!
Does the test centre provide the bike for you going for my A license
No, the test centre is just where the test goes down. They belong to the DVSA and they won't provide you with any equipment. If you get training with a school they'll provide you with a bike, helmet, jacket, insurance and the training. You could book a test with the DVSA directly if you already have a bike and don't need the training but most learners will get a package from a school that includes training, the bike and all the tests.
ok i got my mod 1 on 8th july hopefully this will help me pass
Absolutely incredible content! Thanks :)
Theory today but dreading the fabled mod 1 mental
How did you get on Nathan?
Can I just tell anyone who is watching this before doing there mod 1. Before you start the U turn exercise a glance to your left is fine but you should do a full rearward check to your right before setting off, a side glance is not enough for most examiner's. You must also do this while on your Mod 2, examiner's will ask you to pull into a safe spot during the ride and not doing the full rearward glance when setting off can fail you. Mirrors and observations are not enough !
Now a2 licence minimum cc has gone lower might need to edit the video!
epic video mate thanks!!
Thanks Sepehr! No problem 👍
Excellent videos. Got my theory in a few weeks and CBT and Mod 1 shortly after. These are helping me a lot.
Excellent quality and great narration. Thank you
Thanks Andy, that's kind of you to say. Good luck & let me know how you get on!
somebody PLEASE answer! can u hold both hands on the handlebars when pushing and pulling the bike?! I don't like holding on to the seat.
I'm not 100% sure to be honest, but the bottom line is that they want to see you in full control of your bike and that's subjective - they might argue that you're not in full control if you just have a handle on the bars only.
Great guide. Got my test in an hour 😳
Thanks Dan! Good luck 🤞 - let me know how you get on!
@@BeinginMotion passed 😊
Was pissing it down with rain aswell haha. I think its just mind over matter, if you can ride reasonably well there is no reason to fail.
Congratulations Dan! Yep, I reckon you're right.
Cheers mate very useful
Thanks Hamed! Good luck if you've got your test coming up...
great content love it : )
Really helpful. Thanks mate. 👍🏻
My pleasure, I'm glad it helped. Merry Christmas!
Hi love the videos super helpful, do I need a cbt if I have a driving licence and not a provisional? Sorry its a silly question
Appreciate that Craig, yeah you do need a CBT even if you have a licence to drive a car in the UK
Good video thanks 👌
Thanks John! Glad they’re of use 👊
Great advices thanks
Best video I've seen thanks 👍🙏
No, thank you! Kind words indeed!
It would be really useful to add how long you have to take your Mod 2 after passing your Mod 1.
2 years my friend!
Great video. So as I'm going to practise this what is the distance between the cones in section two? Many thanks
Thanks Linda, the area in which the U-turn must completed is 7.5 metres. Best of luck!!
mod 1 next week...hoping for a first time pass
🤞 hope it all goes well. Try and relax and let me know how you get on!
When you push the bike into the parking bay can you push it forward then walk back with it to the other parking bay? Or do you have to do it all in reverse
Yeah you have to reverse it from one bay to the other pal...
I have my mod 1 on Tuesday and shi**ING my self for the speed test getting the right speed while concentrating on the track
Best of luck! Practice is the best medicine, get used to the sound and feel of the bike at speed so you can keep more of your focus on the cones! Fingers crossed!!
