Calling Grimsby Mod 2 People

Hi Guys,

Well Mod 1 is getting ever closer and Mod 2 will not be far behind if all goes well, I am not to concerned with the Mod 2 side of things as most of it is riding as far as I am aware, I am very consistent with life savers etc the only thing I am aware of that I don't do as much as I should is check my mirrors to often.

I also understand there is a 'free riding' part where the instructor will ask you to follow road signs to a destination, as I have always relied on my sat nav this is the bit that concerns me. As my test will be in Grimsby just wanted to ask how this works and where the Grimsby Mod 2 folks were asked to go (see if there is any kind of patter).

Regards
Stan.

Flipping Sat nav, leave it at home and go for a ride. Pick a place and follow signs until you get there. Then somewhere else. It's a good way of getting to know your local area.

I had no choice though, there were Sat navs in 2000 but they were crap and ruinously expensive, it was a paper map or follow the signs.

The trick with the independent riding is that (within reason) it doesn't actually matter where you go. Just ride safely, commit to the route that you're taking, and don't make any last second lane changes.

Can't help with your question but good luck with the test.

I'm not familiar with all this mod 1 and 2 stuff tho. Passed my test in 1980.

If your test is in Grimsby Stan I would guess you will be told to follow the signs to the hospital as this is a usual one. After he has satisfied himself with this you will probably be told to head for the A180 by which point you will be heading back to the test centre and the end of the test. Good luck. Wink
