Module 2 on Friday

[Theoutsider]

Hi.After I failed 2 times my module 2 I give it another go.
First time I failed because the speedo on my nsr was way out and have been under the speed all the time,everything else perfect.
Second time the examiner gave me a serios for parking on a white line which there wasn`t but anyway.
I have 2 hours training on thursday and the actual test on friday.
I have been on a geared 50 for 1 year and on my nsr for around 6 months.
I want to see if I got everything covered.
1.Never park on white or yellow lines.
2.When changing direction mirrors,lifesaver,indicator and lifesaver just before changing the direction
3.At stop signs I have to stop
4.In a 30 zone for example I have to do from 25 mph to 30 mph
5.Ride in the left lane unless you`ve been told
6.If there are cars parked when you go past them mirror checks and lifesaver and keep a distance so in case somebody opens the door you wont hit them.
7.Do not wobble around
8.Change gears properlyy
9.Keep a 2 sec distance from the vehicle ahead
10.When you are asked to pull on the left side of the road do the apropiate checks and indicate
11.When you are asked to pull out right lifesaver indicate and go
12.Do not hesitate
13.If I see a vehicle in front for example a tractor and I can overtake him legally do it if not is undue hesitation(think i`m right)
14.Cancel the indicator in time
15.Do not cut corners

I think I missed few but In case I want somebody to tell me.
Thank you

Mate unless you're a shit rider or you crack under pressure, you should do okay. The first time you failed sounds like misfortune, the second time for a major. Frankly, you shouldn't be getting any 'majors'. If you do its probably because you did something dangerous or seriously wrong and thought it was okay (in which case no complaints about failing) or you've made a mistake (which you can't really stop, you've just got to hope you don't make serious mistakes).

Remember that you can get a maximum of 9 (or poss 10) minors. Over the course of a 30-40 minute ride that means you're making a mistake every 2 - 3 minutes, given that the examiner will miss some. That's about the length of a TV ad break. If you're fit to pass (which I assume you are) then you're not going to make them that often.

Therefore, there's not really a lot to be worrying about (although I do know how hard it is to tell your nerves that).

As regards must do/don't - just ride how you've been taught. I did my training with two different instructors and their overtaking, changing lanes etc processes were different. One wanted two lifesavers, one thought a lifesaver and a mirror were enough. The long and short of it is that unlike a car test, for a bike test the examiner isn't looking for you to tick specific boxes. He just wants to see that you're safe, aware and competent on a bike. However you show him that is up to you.

Good luck fella.

Did my training today,the instructor said there is no reason I shouldn`t pass.Everything was very good that is what he said.So hopefully 3rd time I`ll be lucky.Will let you know tomorrow if I passed.

just booked my mod 2 for tuesday, i've not had any training though. It will also be my first attempt, anyone got a few tips?

[That-Kid-O]

I was nervous until I got going... at which point I had convinced myself I will fail my first attempt and didn't give a shit.....






I passed, the key is not to panick/care too much and ride as naturally as possible

[Theoutsider]

Just to let you know I failed again.I was in a no win situation.
I was at the traffic lights behind the stop line with the lights green ,there were 2 cars in the middle of the junction they wanted to turn right,there were cars coming from the opposite direction,after few seconds the cars in front of me went to the right.I started on green and after 1 second it turned to amber.If I would`ve stopped that would have been in the middle of the junction on a red light,if I was waiting a bit more at traffic lights it was undue hesitation.So I`m kinda fucked.For people who want to pass their module 2,just calm down,it`s another fucking day with the gps in your ear.Also lifesavers are not as hard as you think.
Well soon you will see my nc30 for sale.Who is interested give me a PM.Thanks

[jamR]

i know when you're supposed to do your lifesavers, but when and how often are you supposed to do your mirror checks?

Unlucky mate - why are you selling your bike though?

that was unlucky then, you're sure to nail it next time, good luck

[Fortuna]

Unlucky dude, it's not undue hesitation by the way. Only proceed when safe to do so even on green. You could have sat there.

One thing i'd look out for if you're not familiar with the area is to never pull in opposite a junction. This is tricky to remember if a few cars are blocking the entrance to a road so keep it in mind.

I'm sure you will pass soon enough mate, i did without any lessons.

Just keep looking on youtube, websites and try and get a mate with a full license to follow you and point out any bad riding habits you might not realise you have.

Ride safe

[Theoutsider]

Thanks to all for the answers.I think my dad gave me another chance.

[Curtmeister]

The only advise I can give you mate is what was given to meand thats don't think about it, just ride worked for me good luck on your next one.
