The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) has announced that the current motorcycle practical test will now change on 27th April 2009. It will become a two part test which will enable the DSA to provide tests at a greater number of locations. The aim is to provide candidates with a practical test facility within 20 miles or a 45 minute ride. The previous proposal to provide both parts of the new test as part of the same booking meant that new test centres had to be established to provide an area suitable for the off road element which had to be close enough to routes appropriate for the road ride. This proved impractical in a number of locations. Changing to a two part test means that sites suitable only for Module 1 can now be used and Module 2 can be conducted from some of the existing test centres.
Module 1 will be a series of manoeuvres conducted on an off-road area and will include exercises like slalom, figure of 8, U-turn, slow ride, emergency braking and braking avoidance. Module 1 will have to be passed before you can attempt Module 2 which is similar to the current on-road test. Having passed a theory test you will have two years in which to complete both parts of the practical test.
The DSA have also announced that in October ‘09 the test fee will increase to £15.50 for Module 1 and to £75 for Module 2.
