Mod 2 Test

You must pass Mod 1 before you can take the Mod 2 test. 3CMT recommend a gap of more than 3 working days between Mod 1 and Mod 2 because if you do not pass Mod 1 you must wait 3 working days before you can retake it. If your Mod 2 is within those 3 days you will forfeit your Mod 2 test and fees as it cannot be cancelled.

The Mod 2 test normally takes about 40 minutes and includes:

  • an eyesight check
  • a show me, a tell me vehicle safety question
  • a passenger carrying question
  • road riding
  • independent riding

Pre-test

Document check

You must bring your Mod 1 pass certificate, Theory Test pass certificate, CBT certificate and driving licence to the Mod 2 test or you will not be able to take your Mod 2 test.

Eyesight check

You’ll have to read a number plate from a distance of:

  • 20 metres for vehicles with a new-style number plate
  • 20.5 metres for vehicles with an old-style number plate

New-style number plates start with 2 letters followed by 2 numbers, for example AB51 ABC.

You’ll fail your riding test if you fail the eyesight check.

‘Show me, tell me’ questions

You’ll be asked 2 vehicle safety questions known as the ‘show me, tell me’ questions. These test that you know how to carry out basic safety checks.

Passenger carrying question

You’ll be asked 1 question about carrying a passenger.

Road riding

You’ll drive in various road and traffic conditions, but not on motorways. You’ll be asked to carry out:

  • normal stops
  • an angle start (pulling out from behind a parked vehicle)
  • a hill start (where possible)

The examiner will give you directions using a radio. They’ll normally follow you on a motorcycle.

Driving test routes are not published. You will learn very little by memorising specific places. With 3CMT you will learn during training to develop systems as a rider that will mean you can ride anywhere and anticipate and plan what to do safely.

Independent riding

You’ll have about 10 minutes of independent riding. The examiner will ask you to “follow the signs to…” This is designed to assess your ability to ride safely while making your own decisions.

You can ask the examiner to repeat the directions if you forget them – you will not fail the test if you go off the route. You can not use sat nav.

Your test result

You’ll be told if you’ve passed Mod 2 at the end of the test.

You’ll pass module 2 if you make:

  • no serious or dangerous faults (sometimes called ‘majors’)
  • no more than 10 riding faults (sometimes called ‘minors’)

The examiner will make a note of:

  • dangerous faults – these involve actual danger to you, the examiner, the public or property
  • serious faults – these are potentially dangerous
  • riding faults(“minors”)  – these are not potentially dangerous, but could become serious if you keep making the same mistake

If you do not pass you will have to book another module 2 test and pay again. You have to choose a date at least 10 working days away.

How the Mod 2 test is marked

Awareness and planning

You needed to show you can anticipate other road users’ intentions and potential hazards. You needed to show you can react in good time, not at the last minute.

You should have been extra careful around more vulnerable road users. This includes:

  • other motorcyclists
  • cyclists
  • horse riders
  • pedestrians

Clearance and obstructions

Watch out for changing situations, such as pedestrians walking out from between parked cars, doors opening and vehicles trying to move off. Be prepared to slow down or stop if needed.

You needed to keep a safe amount of distance when passing other road users or hazards – at least one meter when possible.

Control

You needed to show you can use all the bike’s primary controls smoothly and at the correct time. This includes the:

  • throttle
  • clutch
  • gears
  • foot brake
  • rear brake
  • steering
  • balance/slow control
  • ancillary controls

Following distance

You needed to keep a safe distance when riding behind other road users.

Your distance from the vehicle in front should have been appropriate for the conditions of the road.

Judgement

You were marked on:

  • overtaking / filtering
  • meeting
  • crossing

You needed to show good judgement when overtaking, meeting and crossing other road users. Such as knowing when to proceed, and when to wait for a safer opportunity.

You needed to make your intentions clear, and understand the intentions of the other road users. Filtering should only be done at a slow speed, in slow moving traffic.

Junctions including Roundabouts

You were marked on:

  • approach speed – your ability to approach junctions at an appropriate speed
  • observation – your effective observation and judgement of your surroundings
  • turning right – your position when turning right
  • turning left – your position when turning left
  • cutting corners – your ability to avoid cutting corners when turning

You needed to show you can ride through junctions safely. You should have observed your surroundings, made your intentions clear, followed road signs and signals, and properly handled the bike.

Move away

You were marked on:

  • control – your ability to control the bike
  • safety – your ability to perform this action safely

You needed to show you could move away safely and under control throughout your test. This included:

  • from the side of the road
  • on a slope or hill (gradient)
  • from behind a parked vehicle, so you have to move off at an angle
  • at junctions

You should have used your mirrors and rear observations to observe your surroundings, and signalled when necessary. Your control of the bike should have prevented it from stalling.

Pedestrian crossings

You needed to recognise each type of pedestrian crossing and react correctly to each.

Position / normal stops

When asked to by your examiner, you needed to pull up and stop on the side of the road. This needed to be done in the first safe place available.

When parked, your bike should not have been a hazard to other road users.

Positioning

You were marked on:

  • normal riding – your control of the bike when riding, such as not riding too close to the kerb or centre line
  • lane discipline – your ability to use the correct lane

You should have positioned your bike in a safe position – as a general rule in the centre of your lane. You should have been positioned according to road markings and the direction you wish to take.

Precautions

Before you started riding, you should have performed a few safety checks. This includes making sure:

  • your helmet is properly fastened
  • your mirrors are positioned correctly
  • the side stand is up
  • the gear is in neutral

Progress

You were marked on:

  • appropriate speed – riding at an appropriate speed for the road and traffic conditions
  • undue hesitation – you did not hesitate and slow down when you didn’t need to

You should have ridden at a speed appropriate for the road and traffic conditions, without going over the speed limit. You should not have driven too slowly either as this can be dangerous to you and others

Rear observations

You were marked on:

  • signalling – your ability to make good rear observations when signalling
  • change direction – your ability to make good rear observations when changing direction
  • change speed – your ability to make good rear observations when changing speed

You needed to show you can use your bike’s mirrors to see what’s behind you. This should be done in good time, before appropriate situations.

When mirrors were not enough to cover blindspots you must look directly (‘lifesaver check’).

Response to signals

You should have recognised and reacted correctly to signs and signals on the road. This included:

  • road signs
  • road markings
  • traffic lights
  • traffic controllers
  • other road users

Signals

You were marked on:

  • necessary – you used signals when you needed to
  • correctly – you used the right signals
  • timed – you didn’t use signals too late or too early

When performing a manoeuvre, you should have used appropriate signals to let everyone around know what you were about to do. This should have been done in good time.

Use of speed

You needed to show you can ride at an appropriate speed. Your examiner will have assessed this throughout your test.

You should have taken into consideration the conditions of the road, the amount of traffic, road signs and signals, and the speed limit.

Your speed should not have prevented you from being able to perform a controlled stop in the clear space in front of you.
