MOD1 left circuit exercises
MOD 1 left circuit exercises demand ongoing instruction and practice. They include slow-control and circuit based speed exercises – designed to replicate road riding scenarios and to show sufficient skills to ride safely on the road. For example, the slow control ride tests a candidates ability to deal safely with slow moving traffic. The controlled stop assess a riders ability to stop correctly at a junction and the avoidance exercise, simulates commonly encountered road situations, where a rider might need to avoid a fast developing hazard. Riding the circuit exercises also assess a candidates steering, forward observation, positioning and use of speed.

GET STARTED
9(L). Entering area
The MOD1 test starts as soon as the candidate sits on their bike. How a candidate enters the test area is assessed. [watch video]
10(L). Parking-up
Parking-up is the first MOD1 exercise & an opportunity for the candidate to relax, look around & calm any nerves. [watch video]
11(L). Handling
Whichever approach is used for the handling exercise, practice & familiarity with a motorcycle are important. [watch video]
12(L). Slalom & Fig-8
The slow control skills required for this slow exercise are the same as required for several on-road riding scenarios. [watch video]
13(L). Slow ride
This walking pace slow speed exercise involves slow control, good balance, forward observation & head position. [watch video]
14(L). U-turn
Riders should not look down at the controls, but should instead keep their head up & look in the direction of travel. [watch video]
15(L). Circuit rides
Key to riding the circuit correctly is professional MOD1 motorcycle training & sufficient practice, ideally on-site. [watch video]
16(L). Controlled stop
Whilst the controlled stop is the easiest circuit exercise, failing to stop correctly will still result in a test failure. [watch video]
17(L). Emergency stop
On today’s busy & congested roads, it is vital that a rider has sufficient skill to carry out a safe emergency stop. [watch video]
18(L). Avoidance
With many potential scenarios, having the skill to implement an avoidance manoeuvre is essential to rider safety. [watch video]
19(L). Leaving area
The MOD1 tests ends when the candidate dismounts, having left the teat area. Care must be taken until the very end. [watch video]
