At last - riding on the roads
Lasts approx 2 hours
You will now go out onto to the roads, with a maximum
of one other student, to practice everything you have learnt over
the past few hours.
You will have to demonstrate that you can ride
competently and safely in a variety of road and traffic conditions.
Your training will cover how to cope with a range
of hazards and include as many of the following as possible
* |
Traffic lights |
* |
Roundabouts |
* |
Junctions |
* |
Pedestrian crossings |
* |
Gradients |
* |
Bends |
* |
Obstructions |
You must repeat the following exercises (originally
practised during element C) but this time in on-road conditions
* |
carry out the U turn |
* |
manoeuvre satisfactorily |
* |
bring the machine to a stop under full
control as in an emergency |
At the end of this session you will be assessed.
If you have performed adequately and if you show
that you recognise your mistakes and that you are aware of the
need to continue practising on your own then you will be given
the certificate of completion (DL196).
The CBT certificate validates your provisional
licence and must be kept with it and produced when required and
at your driving test. It is valid for 2 years. If you lose it
your training centre will be able to provide you with a duplicate.
You should also note that CBT does not train a
rider to practical test standard, and that in the Department of
Transport's view, further training is advisable.
So at this point you will probably be asked if
you would like to book for further training to get you ready for your
test.
The course will now be formally closed.
