Full Licence Training – Module 1

Module 1 off-road test: what happens

Phoenix motorcycle training covers module 1 training along with module 2 training and all other elements of learning to ride a motorcycle safely. You’ll take the module 1 test in an off-road motorcycle manoeuvring area.

The test normally takes about 20 minutes and includes:

• wheeling the moped or motorcycle and using the stand
• riding a slalom and figure of 8
• a slow ride
• a U-turn
• cornering and a controlled stop
• cornering and an emergency stop
• cornering and hazard avoidance

For the hazard avoidance and emergency stop exercises you must ride at a minimum speed of:

• 19 mph on a moped
• 31 mph on a motorcycle

Your test result

You’ll be told if you’ve passed module 1 at the end of the test.

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 – these are not potentially dangerous, but could become serious if you keep making the same mistake

You’ll pass module 1 if you make:

• no serious or dangerous faults (sometimes called ‘majors’)
• no more than 5 riding faults (sometimes called ‘minors’)

If you pass

The examiner will:

• tell you what faults you made, if any
• give you a pass certificate – you need to take this to the module 2 test
