Understanding MOD 1 right circuit test
One of the benefits of the MOD 1 Academy is how it allows MOD 1 test candidates to visually experience both circuits (left and right). Whilst the ‘rules’ are the same, there are important differences between the two and test candidates are advised to book training school time to visit the Motorcycle Manoeuvring Area (MMA). This series of video overviews perfectly complements practical training, allowing candidates to conveniently ‘revisit’ each exercise.
9(R). Entering area
Candidates should relax, avoid rushing & ensure effective observations. MOD1 assessment has begun. [watch video]
10(R). Parking-up
Riding a wide & slow arc before parking-up is an opportunity to overcome any last minute nerves. [watch video]
11(R). Handling
Prior to starting manual handling, the stand should be properly stowed & the bike must be in neutral. [watch video]
12(R). Slalom & fig-8
This exercise takes focused handling, plus coordination of throttle, clutch, gears, steering & rear brake. [watch video]
13(R). Slow ride
The slow control ride simulates the walking pace balance & control required if in slow moving traffic. [watch video]
14(R). U-turn
The u-turn exercise simulates a turn in the road, as if turning between two kerbs & is if on a live road. [watch video]
15(R). Circuit rides
Candidates must ride the circuit at least three times during the MOD1 test. Instruction & practice are vital. [watch video]
16(R). Controlled stop
This exercise has no speed requirements & candidates are usually taught to treat this like a normal junction. [watch video]
17(R). Emergency stop
Candidates must observe specific speed requirements. Professional emergency stop training & practice is essential [watch video]
18(R). Avoidance
Mastering avoidance is essential to rider safety – often needed when other road users fail to look properly. [watch video]
19(R). Leaving area
Even with a good MOD1 test, there is still room for error. MOD1 ends when the candidate dismounts. [watch video]
