Module 2
The Module 2 motorcycle test is an on-road riding assessment that takes approximately 40 mins. For this part you will be followed by an examiner in various real-life riding situations and judged on your ability to navigate the roads in a safe manner.
How The Module 2 Is Marked
During the test the examiner will have a score sheet which they will use to assess you during the test. On the score sheet there are 3 types of faults.
- A serious fault
- A dangerous fault
- A rider fault
A serious fault is one that could be potentially dangerous, such as not performing a lifesaver while changing lanes. A dangerous fault would be one that causes a danger to yourself or to others, such as pulling out in front of traffic or ignoring a red traffic signal. A rider fault is one that is neither dangerous nor serious, but if habitual could amount to a serious fault regarding your riding.
During the Module 2 motorcycle test you will be allowed upto 10 rider faults. If you have more than 10 rider faults you will not have successfully passed the Module 2 motorcycle test. If you are marked for a single dangerous or serious fault this will also result in not passing the Module 2. If you have more than several rider faults in any one category then this may be marked as a serious fault and you will not have passed the module 2 motorcycle test.
