Junctions & overtaking (Module Two)
You are here: VideoBiker / About / Module Two resources / Junctions & overtaking
With over 250 DVSA test centres around the UK, there are an incalculable number of different motorcycle test route scenarios. Whilst each will have it’s own characteristics and uniqueness – in respect of junctions and overtaking, the possible riding scenarios encountered on test are less diverse. This motorcycle junction & overtaking guide is intended to simplify novice rider understanding of what is required. Each junction type has specific rules, safety considerations and level of difficulty to novice riders. The same holds true for the types of overtake that may be encountered. Professional motorcycle training is vital for test candidates to become familiar and competent with locally encountered junctions and traffic conditions. The following motorcycle junction & overtaking guide is intended to compliment local motorcycle training.
Joining carriageways
Joining dual carriageways safely requires effective use of LADA (look, assess, decide, act), along with good planning & observations. [more]
Overtaking (large)
Important safety considerations for motorcycle riders overtaking large vehicles include downdrafts & mirror position. [more]
One-way streets (right)
An issue for those who do not understand one-way street signs & road markings. Bikers should read the Highway Code! [more]
Left at 'T' junctions
With left turn minor to major, specific safety considerations relate to road surface & being vigilant for overtaking traffic. [more]
Straight at roundabouts
Key things to understand with roundabouts are ‘point of no return’ & over which shoulder to carry out a lifesaver. [more]
Leaving carriageways
Safely leaving dual carriageways requires good forward observation, judgement, positioning & early indication. [more]
Overtaking (multiple)
Special safety considerations when overtaking multiple vehicles include rearward observations & identifying a return point. [more]
Left into side roads
These particular junctions are an example of why local instructor knowledge is so valuable. Get local MOD 2 training! [more]
Right at 'T' junctions
This junction can be challenge for MOD 2 candidates & requires lots of practice & professional instruction. [more]
Right at roundabouts
Turning right at roundabouts can be a challenging junction for novice riders. Practice and instruction is essential. [more]
Overtaking (single)
Overtaking single vehicles, riders must use effective observations, lifesavers and should not remain in the overtaking lane. [more]
One-way streets (left)
One-way streets require a good understanding of the highway code and effective use of the OSMPSL routine. [more]
Right into side roads
Turning right into a side road can be a difficult junction for novice riders to navigate. Professional motorcycle training is vital. [more]
Left at roundabouts
Turning left at roundabouts is similar to turning left at a regular junction. It is a relatively easy junction to master. [more]
