cbt eye test?

[steppen22]

How does that work?

[Toukakoukan]

The instructor will ask you to read a number plate from 20 metres away (or close enough to it) you can use your glasses if required and if you fail I very much doubt they'll allow you to continue the session, certainly won't let you out on the road!

Hope that helps

If you fail it then you WONT be allowed to continue as it is illegal to be in control of a vehicle if you dont meet eye sight requirements.

If you need glasses to pass the eye sight test you will need to wear the glasses for the duration of the day when you are operating or sat on the bike

if you arent sure go to an opticians and get tested, or pace out 20 steps from the front of a car, turn round and see if you can read the plate
Pref on a car that isnt yours so you dont know the reg

Eyesight reqs

I did my CBT without half the stuff that gets talked about on here, never had to do an eye test.

Then you went to a shit training school.

If they havnt checked basics, how do you know your safe on the road with your manovures

Tutton was it you who went to Brackley?

I don't know why you're jumping down Tutton's throat. Fact remains it is a legal requirement for the CBT to contain an eye test. If the schools didn't do it, they ARE shit schools.

They (edit) should not have the authority to deem you safe on the roads if they are not carrying out procedures properly. End of.

It is also the examiners decision whether you pass or fail

Doesnt make it right when you crash cos u didnt see a car early enough as your eyes werent at minimum standards and werent checked

I was more touchy about whether I know if I'm safe to ride on the roads.

I have been riding bikes for a long time for my age, and not only did I do my CBT, I went out with my dad on my first couple of rides to work on my road awareness and still do every week. Just because my instructors missed out a small and fairly redundant piece of my CBT does not mean I am not safe.

Not jumping down throats or having a dig, just pointing out that you cant draw those sorts of conclusions.

[SonicTheHedge...]

Was fine on the bike test, but nearly tripped up when I did my car:
"Can you please read the registration of the mauve car?"
..."What colour's mauve? Do you mean the corsa, the 106, or the Renault 5?"

I only understand Man Colours, like blue, black, red, etc...

When I did my test as we came out of the test centre the instructor pointed towards the back of the car park and said "can you please read the number plate of the car in the middle at the back there?"

A simple enough request .. except that there were four cars in a line. So I politely asked "err .. there's four cars! Which one is the 'one in the middle?'"

To my surprise he got a bit arsey and snapped back "the one in the MIDDLE of the three towards the left!!!"

Oh right .. four cars in a line .. how silly of me to not realise that YOU couldn't see the one on the right. Maybe my eye sight was better than his! Still passed though

I think having an eye test is the first thing you should do anyway. If you cannot see properly, or if you have an eye problem, then you need to know otherwise it will be very dangerous to drive. I wear glasses and without them I would probably crash into a tree.

[ian789]

When i did my CBT someone else was asked to read the number plate and then the car drove off!

Made me giggle

Worth pointing out that if you fail the eye-test portion of mod2 (is that when they do it these days?), they won't just stop you taking the test, they'll suspend your licence on the spot and you won't get it back until you've had a medical.
