Top tips - MOD 1 riding the circuit
There are three MOD 1 riding the circuit exercises. These are: (1) Controlled stop, (2) Emergency stop and, (3) Avoidance. The common factors shared by all three MOD 1 riding the circuit exercises are:
- Select 1st gear & carry out rear observations
- Riding towards curve, select 2nd gear (max 20 mph)
- Avoid braking in curve (maintain 19 mph)
- Entering the curve, aim for 1 mtr from red cones
- Two cones past centre, turn towards blue cones
- On exit from curve, aim for 1 mtr from blue cones
- Avoid fixating on cones. Look up & ahead

Controlled stop
In the circuit: 19 mph (30 km/h) – advised
At the speed camera: >30 mph (>48 km/h) – advised
Emergency stop
In the circuit: 19 mph (30 km/h) – required*
At the speed camera: 32 mph (50 km/h) – required
