I don't know if anyone has seen this...

Bit of background.
UK bikers are the most tested non-professional drivers on UK roads. No other class of road user has the testing we have. CBT before we can even go on the road and the theory test and practical. Now the practical test has been changed and includes an off road part - apparently in line with EU regulation....

See the vid:

or I don't know if the non UK people can see it so here's a written report...

The fact the bloke on the big bike makes the swerve test look easy is that it is easier on a bigger bike... it has do be done at 50kph/31mph and there isn't the room for a 125 to get up to that speed... and the brakes aren't that great either...

There's a report in the vid of a lorry driver who fancied learning to ride who broke her shoulder and buggered her ankle in this part of the test..... great way to learn to ride huh?? Then there's the fact that she is of work and not earning....

And there's now a quarter of the places to do the test compared to the one I did.... And that was harder than most of the Brit Riders on here who rode round the block and did an emergency stop.... that was the test back then, I had a full 45 mins riding and had to do all sorts of maneuvers.


What do you all think???
