Compulsory Basic Training road-ride video guides
The ‘Road Rides’ section contains essential CBT tips on what is required during ‘Element A’ (practical on-road training). This part of compulsory basic training involves a varied two hour road-ride, during which, riders will encounter a wide range of roads, junctions and traffic scenarios. This section of the Learners Academy offers three instructor narrated road rides (urban, city and rural).
31. Urban riding
84% of motorcycle casualties involve a collision with a car, where the most common factor is ‘failed to look properly’. [watch video]
32. City riding
City motorcycle riding, with its intense traffic, can be extremely challenging and with risks to be aware of. [watch video]
33. Rural riding
With open A roads, restricted view B roads and single-track unclassified roads, rural riding has many risk factors. [watch video]
34. First road ride
New riders must take responsibility, assume they are invisible, anticipate the actions of others and riding defensively. [watch video]
35. Further training
Post-CBT, riders can complete a full motorcycle test, including theory and a two-part practical motorcycle test. [watch video]
36. Take responsibility
Accept that seldom does perceived ability match actual ability, then the value of ongoing training becomes clear. [watch video]

Retired Teacher
Excellent preparation for CBT
It was excellent preparation – tailored to the demands of CBT and therefore, highly relevant to passing it and without which I would have been at something of a disadvantage. It was very easy to use and gave an accurate insight into what to expect on the CBT course. [more]
