The government highway code pages seem to suggest that you use the car braking distances as when you look at the motorcycle specific pages it has a link taking you to this pagehttps://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/09.shtml#105

That's the biggest heap of bollox i have seen in my life.

I just found out the other day they added that gay hazards part to the theory, there was no such thing when i sat my theory for car license... Sad

Anyway, what are the hazards that commonly come up on these things?

Regards,

Zepf

Nice one Korn Very Happy

Zepf, its just stuff like cars looking to pull out, people walking out between parked cars, cars looking to turn, narrow bridges etc. General "everyday" hazards you meet on the road really

In one clip the Village People appear at a zebra crossing and you have to click them as a gay hazard.

That is, in sequence, speed in mph x 2 = distance in feet, then 2.5, then 3, then 3.5, then 4 and then 4.5

That way you can work it out rather than trying to remember the exact figures.

All the best

Considering the test is about £40 that is only 2-3 hours training. Do you think that is all you'll need?

In regards to the insurance how old are you? And what the area its going to be in like? And what cover? Any NCB or claims?

The DSA test fee is £48 so your getting about 2 hours training and a test for your £100 Smile
