CBT Resources (Junction guide)
You are here: VideoBiker / About / CBT resources / Junction guide
Following practical CBT training and the classroom briefing, CBT candidates are required to ride on the road for around two hours, where a variety of junctions and riding scenarios will be covered. If the CBT instructor assesses a suitable level of competency whilst riding solo, a DL196 CBT certificate (valid for two years) will be issued. See below for a variety of useful CBT tips regrading commonly encountered junctions.
OSMPSL routine
OSMPSL is a basic riding system to help riders safely navigate junctions and a variety of other hazards. [more]
Slowing down
With braking/gears, riders should be in the correct position, at the correct speed and in the correct gear. [more]
Poor stopping
Looking late can translate to a late decision to stop, along with overloaded front suspension and balance issues. [more]
Left at 't'
Turning left at a ‘T’ junction (left turn, minor to major), whilst an easier junctions, does have risk factors to consider. [more]
Left at side rd
Riders normally position slightly left, in the wheel track (where the left wheels of a car normally reside). [more]
Right at 'T'
Turning right at a ‘T’ junction is one of the hardest junctions for a learner rider or CBT candidate to navigate. [more]
Right at side rd
Turning right into a side road (right turn, major to minor) is often a difficult turn for learner riders. [more]
R/about LT
Turning left at roundabouts is like turning left at a regular junction, but whilst maintaining a dominant position. [more]
R/about ahead
Approach is the same as turning left, but with no indication, communicating the intent to ride straight on. [more]
R/about RT
This can be a challenging roundabout for learner/CBT riders and professional training is considered vital. [more]
