YEAR 2008
 

As of 29th September 2008 the motorcycle test will be changing the following details have been taken from the DSA web site with a link below for more details

The new one test event will contain two elements. The Higher speed manoeuvres and other exercises will be tested on safe off-road sites and take about 8 minutes to complete. The accompanied riding element of the test will follow, consisting of a road ride include normal stops, hill and angle starts. Candidates who have exhibited riding skills of a dangerously incompetent level during the off-road part of the test will not be permitted to proceed to the on-road element.

This will mean an increase in test fee as well as an increase in our training costs as practical tests will take place at the super centre in Exeter. Our new site in Exeter will be purpose built and large enough to practice the new test manoeuvres.
