During mod 2, do you have to filter through traffic? Is filtering part of the test. All they have told me is that mod 2 is just a 45min ride out.

Motorcycles are perfectly safe as long as you remember they're dangerous.

I wouldn't filter on the test. The more time you spend sitting behind cars, the less chance you have to make mistakes.

This.

It means if you filter and make a mistake, there goes 1 point... you cant really lose points for sitting stationary, just remember life savers n that when pulling off.

Good luck though, im sure you are a competent rider and will breeze through, but always remember your obs, indicating and keep cool!

I wouldent really filter on my test, but then saying that you can be failed as a major fault for not making timely progress or something like that.

Time stuck in traffic is time you’re not likely to be doing anything wrong Smile.

In my car test we got stuck in traffic for at least five minutes – the examiner kindly pointed out I could relax rather than rigidly stuck in ‘ten to two’ position.

Instructor said to me that on my test I'd be expected to filter if stuck in heavy traffic - so I did Thumbs Up
