Could you pass again today?

[c_dug]

Do you think you could pass your test again if you had to take it today, with no training or instruction?

Im thinking that I probably could but in reality im sure I would fail on the most basic things.

In terms of riding I think yes but the little touches they expect you to remember probably not. The one saving grace is the difference between a car test in that your examiner is not sat next to you watching so I think you can pass some things by going through the motions.

No idea on the new style test, but as far as the only one goes I suspect I'd be fine as long as I didn't make a mess of the u-turn

Most likely, although they've changed the test a little haven't they?

Might be knocked down a little for the odd bit of, erm.... e"xcess use of the bike's performance" here and there

[c_dug]

Forgot it had been changed! surely that mod1 mod2 malarky cant be /that/ much more difficult?

I reckon I could pass.

[iooi]

[arry]

Think I could do it, although I'd not be able to on my current bike - I'd not make the u'ey

[kate t]

umm.. passed the 'new' style test last summer - not sure I could go through all that again, was a fluke the first time

[Jayy]

Passed the new test last summer too... reckon could piss it if I had to re-take it again. Fingers crossed I don't have to.

[Poseidon]

Sailed through the test 18months ago, just before they changed it to the mod1/2 system. I reckon I could pass again... I've not really been riding long enough to pick up too many bad habits.

i would say that most people on here could pass the new test easily, i passed mod 1 with half an hours practice and watching youtube clips and i have only been riding for 2 months and i have my mod 2 a week tomorrow and i intend to do it with no training just watching youtube videos, i have just done my car test at the same centre and my driving instructor told me that the two test routes for bikes are well easier than the car ones and it has a pass rate of 72% so hopefully i will pass that as well with no training.

Doubt it. I'd fail at the very first hold up I'd filter past.

Don't under estimate it.

I'm not citing your riding skills, it's just the test tests your ability to do things that are completely unnecessary on the road.

I know I could. The reason being, I lost my license by getting 6 points just within the first 2 years of getting it. I thought getting through the re-test would be tricky but it wasnt.

I was a much better rider second time around, as I didnt have to think about controlling the bike, so I could concentrate more on what was going on around me, and what I should be doing.

Easy !

Think I just scraped passed my bike test and most of what I learned has learned after I passed.

Bike control is far better now, especially at slow speeds.

[Tango675]

I recon I could pass both my Bike test and my Car test.

I recon I would pick up more minor's this time round though. I only passed my bike test 3 years ago, so only a few bad habbits.

I think I would risk failing for not wheel-shuffling in the car test though.

Test at riding school are easy. I can pass no problem.
But test at license centre, no. The ratio of successful applicants is about 8%.

[MonkeyKnuckle]

I was lucky to pass the first time (put foot down on u-turn. ) So probably not.

I passed my driving test first time as well about 6 years ago, would probably fail that even though I'm a much better driver now, picked up a few lazy habits.

I thought it was pretty easy first time around so I don't see why not. I only did it two years ago anyway so I think I can remember all the silly rules.

The only thing I'd be nervous about would be the U-turn, not done a proper one since my test, so it's likely to be the thing that would trip me up if anything!!!
