Hi my girlfriend is wanting to take her test , but after having a few bad experiences with two bike training schools whilst doing her cbt i have decided to try and teach her myself , i am an advanced rider and think it shouldnt be too hard .
she has done her theory and cbt , has a 125 all ready to go + a pair of radios etc.
I am looking for a detailed diagram of all the lifesavers needed when doing the turn in the road as it is a little while since i have done my test and u turns are not something I ever use in everyday.
or maybe a dvd with film clips of various aspects of the test and the correct way of doing it.
any help would be appreciated
Thanks

if i remember rightly (did my test in february) its

1) from stationary do your checks and lifesaver to move out and off

2) just before you need to turn a final life saver check

3) turn

you don't need a lifesaver when doing a u-turn. from side of road put right hand on rear of bike and do a rear check, when the road is clear drive forward about one bike length then turn and pull up on other side of road. did my test four weeks ago so its all fresh in mind.

Maneavouring from one lane into another.

To be done at the last instant you can possibly abort the maneavour.

U turn is just like pulling away anywhere else - one good rear check.

You might find this link useful:

https://www.motorcycle.co.uk/articles/training/how_to_fail_the_test.html

seems to tell you everything the examiner is looking out for that can contribute to a fail.

Also:

https://www.motorcycle-training.f2s.com/tips.html

has a diagram of observations and lifesavers (though I would have thought you would need to do a side ways glance to check the blind spot before the maneuver to position for a lefr or right turn marked on that diagram - may be wrong though as I'm still learning myself and haven't taken my test yet - doing it this summer or autumn all going to plan).

I've got another link somewhere with loads of diagrams for road positioning and observations and all sorts of other tips with nice diagrams somewhere but I can't find it at the moment unfortunately Sad

Ahh..Just realised you were only talking about the Uturn. Sorry about that. Hope the links are some help anyway Smile
