Right, here's the plan: we find whoever came up with mod 1..

[Benno]

We find out whose bright idea the module 1 test was, and we kill them. Who's with me?

Yep. Failed again. Emergency stop. 70kph was a bit too fast and the low sun meant I couldn't see the examiner raising his hand.

On my mod1 I never even looked at the examiner during the emergency stop. You know that he 'has' to put his hand up as soon as you go through the speed trap (or you'll end up at the fence), so with this in mind you just throttle off as soon as you've gone through the trap and then front brake only to a progressive stop, covering back brake but not using.

Get a black visor. Helps loads in the low-sun I find. It's still very blinding but I find that my black visor is loads better in that situation than my clear visor.

Also looks cooler. Double win.

Practice more in a safe environment with a friend Keep doing it until you have it perfect.

Also if your in a car park / area, lay some cones out and practice your other MOD1 task's, No point in getting all angry about it, keep practicing you don't want to come into the New Jan regulations.

For low sun, run some tape along the top edge of your visor.

It was all going so well until the examiner stuck his hand up!

theres only really 2 things i disagree with on the module 1.

uturn second obs not done = insta-fail

reason: if your doing a uturn where the road conditions can change in the space of 5 seconds then you should not be doing a u turn at that time.

u turn foot down = insta-fail

okay at 10/15mph or more i can understand but 5 or under and it shouldnt matter because you can stop the bike easily enough and should be examiners discression.

foot down on a u turn apparently means you will drop the bike.

i did my mod 1 round 3 monday and put my foot down because the bike wound up with a large tilt to the point i dont think letting the clutch out would have helped. so if i didnt i would have dropped the bike anyway.

hence, examiners discression. it also ties in with road conditions and doing a u turn in a safe location.

you just wouldnt do a u turn where things can change in a short period of time. when i do a u turn on the road i make sure its on a straight road with good visibility down either end and make sure theres time for me to actually drop the bike, pick it up and roll it to the side.

if i dont feel theres time for all that i will find a safer place.

The thing is, as with a lot of things when you learn to drive/ride, you just do them for the tests and never bother /use your initiative afterwards.

Everyone knows that to avoid failing your mod1 (rightly or wrongly, real world or not) that you HAVE to do a right lifesaver before turning on the u-turn. (i know IF you do the turn straight away then the first lifesaver before pulling away will suffice, but its bloody risky imho relying on that)

So.....knowing this information beforehand, IF you don't actually do that lifesaver on your test then I dunno, who is to blame for that? The relevance or not of doing it is..well...irrelevant, its just one of the hoops you have to jump through to get a licence.

Did you actually go past the examiner?
Sounds like your instructor has failed you if he didn't tell you the stop signal would appear as you went through the speed trap fella.

[Moo.]

My instructor told me to stay in 2nd gear and rev the Fcuking nuts off it... (That said.. this was on a '87 CG ) Thought i had failed when i felt the back wheel start to slip from locking.. Just disengaged and re-applied

I'd rather do the manoeuvres on a standardised test circuit than out on the road. In my opinion the module 1 is a good test for showing you can ride a bike. Anyone can ride a bike in a straight line but this test shows you can manoeuvre and control it properly.

But then again I passed first time and found it ridiculously easy so I would say that!

Just treat it for what it is. A 5 minute motorcycle dressage test.

Also If you can't ride for 5 to 10 minutes without fucking something up you need to have a word with yourself

To be honest.. I think if you fail Mod 1 you should have your CBT revoked, clearly people who fail are incapable of riding a bike.

Its simple stuff, there is nothing whatsoever challenging about it.

Failing on the emergency stop.. try doing that in the real world.

go back under the rock you crawled out off.

it does NOT accurately measure your skill because you cant account for a persons nerve factor.

if you honestly believe what you spouted then your a pretty big idiot.

no one is going to say its accurate. its like GCSE exams, 60% of it is utter bullshit.

a persons nerves under test conditions can make a huge factor and affect a persons judgement more than your willing to allow for.

the examiners should or can account for the majority but are bound by pathetic rules. so i dont really blame them but you, you seem to have no idea what the hell your talking about.

if you suffered from bad nerves during your module one and had to resit it more than once then you sure as hell wouldnt be spouting that bollocks.

then again, you was probably one of these people who spend 4 or more years on L plates before doing their test anyway.
