so i just booked my module one and googled the test center address.

Driving Standards Agency
Altria Business park
Margate Road
Thanet Way
Herne Bay
CT6 6LA

hmm okay....that proves to be somewhat awkward.

oh wait! i think i might have found it!

what do you think? probably the center right? going to call them and make sure but jeez you'd think they'd use a recognized address.

and if that is the center, really goes to show how big that turning circle is

The clearly visible cones & circuit ride tyre marks suggest it's a test centre.

Weirdly the moment you get on your bike to go through the gate the cones suddenly all move closer together and the circuit ride shrinks to the side of a dinner plate. Shocked

Then you relax, get it together and reality re-establishes itself Cool , next thing you know the tester's casually telling you you've passed as if it's no bid deal. Confused

Thats it, I've been there multiple times.

Beware if you do mod2 there, there is a small roundabout, a bigger one, a VERY tight single lane road or a dual carriageway which is a ball ache to get on to.

So yeah, a few people fail at the beginning Laughing

Also, its a lot bigger in that photo. Put it this way, the 2 white lines are your U turn, the dots are your slalom. They also alternate the turn at the end. Your figure of 8 will be where those dots are, try not to go spastic wide.

sorry the questions about if its the center was more sarcasm but yeah, i can imagine it feels alot smaller when you first enter.

still, that will be a useful image for teflon-mike, paddy, rogerborg and anyone else who pays attention to threads of people worrying about the size of the circuit.

me personally, i couldnt care less, i will either pass or fail.

adopting the same attitude as my theory test. if i fail, i try again, if i pass, move onto the next test. dont fret, dont panic dont give a rats ass either way lol.

ah paddy, i'll be honest, my u turn is something i did a couple of practices on. but thats more to do with the fact i adjusted my clutch and needed to get used to the possition of the bite again lol

Clearly a new build, clearly a new address, clearly Googlemaps hasn't been updated, but still did recognise the address and took you to the postcode.

The height of your faggotry never ceases to amaze, this thread comes across as some child has finally let go of his mums hand and now doesn't know what to do.

Also, clearly you can't spell and use the spell checker on your browser, but for fucks sake, set it English UK not US
Recognise with an S not a Z (that's Zed, not Zee)
Centre, R before the E.

your abusive bullshit aside did you even google the postcode, its way off. not one bit of google maps takes you anywhere near that site.

Does the street view not go down that road? The car that took the pictures may have went down on a week day and you may see bikes around.

I've enhanced the image slightly to make the cones more visible.

haha maybe not completely accurate but it does give you a decent idea of size and of course the layout.

you have to assume every center is slightly different anyway.

That's the one. In fact, it's the one I did my tests in. There's only one motorcycle examinator there, so be nice in case you fail Wink
