- MOD 2 Mitcham, London DVSA Motorcycle Test Route ( With Tips, speed limits)
This was a mock of the actual route and on the real MOD2 the examiner took us both on pretty much the exact same route. I did the mock route probably about 3 times with different instructors and when taking the real thing the route was the same. full test only lasted 29 minutes including the independent riding, sight check at the start etc
The ride itself lasted about 20 minutes which I didn't expect as it was so quick.
Good Luck all!
Always remember to do the life savers, use the box Junctions correctly and wait in them for right turns, keep to the speed limits and don't stop on anyway keep clear road markings or block junctions.
The A23 going north from about 15’20 is now 20 mph. Speed camera just by McDonalds on the left
FINALLLYYYY I upgraded my a2 license ive had for the past 6 years to the full A today, had the same route as the rider in this video, passed with just 1 minor. Im super happy looking to get a z900 soon.
Great to hear. Congratulations on the full A license!! hope the video helped.
@@XAVZLIFE it did thanks so much
Thank you for posting this!! I have my MOD 2 today 😬 just passed my MOD 1 yesterday and got lucky with a booking. I’ll be doing mine at the Mitcham centre too, so this is an amazingly helpful video. Just cramming info now 😂🤙🏼
You are welcome! I hope it does you justice. When I was doing my Mod 2 at Mitcham I couldn't find any videos so after doing the route over and over with my instructor I just thought I should put a video online to try to help others out.
All the best with thr MOD 2!!🥳🔥
Did you pass? I'm nosey :)
@@prawncracker1304 Yes I did. With only 1 minor 🤙🏼
@@lukevorster9712 Rockstar. congrats.
Congrats on the pass!!
I have my mod 2 today at Mitcham test centre aswell, ngl feeling really nervous, my test is in 2 hrs. Hopefully i pass it again. (Passed mod 1 and 2 for my a2 license 6 years ago).
Good luck with it! Hope all goes well
@@XAVZLIFE thanks, it was an extremely hot day, I was sweating non stop and thought atleast once that I made a mistake somewhere, but eventually I ended up passing with just 1 minor. :) im so happy rn currently looking for a z900
Congrats on the pass but Wow - it’s so much easier in London!! I failed mine cus some fool in an Audi decided to pull in on me on a dual carriageway near the end… Most of my route was B roads and A roads, very little below 60 mph and about 23 roundabouts 😅
Which school did you do it with please?
Thank you, much appreciated. Wooow that's not cool for a car to do that on a carriageway, super dangerous. I literally ride like every car is a threat to me. I've had my fair share of foolish drivers on the road. 23 roundabouts sounds like hell 😅. I did it with phoenix motorcycle school. The exact school is in one of my more recent video uploads. I did my cbt with them as well.
Hope you get your full license very soon and no more foolish drivers ruining your practical
Defenitely deserved your license. Hopefully the person on the front got it as well. Did the examiner pointed out unnecesserily often shoulder checks when not needed or it was all good when youve passed it?
Have upcoming mod 2 test myself soon and would like to ask you If a shoulder check on right or left turn is being forgotten to be done before the turn can this resolve to a fail even if youve done the earlier mirror-signal-shoulder check? And also if u change lane before a traffic set from centre to left or right, doing all signal and observations but transitioning faster rather than smooth due to a pressure,can this be a potential minor or fail?
An answer would be appreciated. Thanks
Passed my theory today this video actually helped me.👍👍
Congrats on the pass. Glad it helped you out!
Great video! Don’t suppose there are any maps of routes are there? Got my test in Mitcham in a few weeks time and would be good to get some practice in!
I'm glad it helped! haha i don't have maps unfortunately but as long as you do what you've been taught in terms of safety and awareness you will be fine. All the best with the test! Thank you for watching
Just did mine in Uxbridge and I failed. But next time I'll be sure to pass it and try to come to the Mitcham one! Can't give up! 👊🏽🤙🏽
100% bro just keep going! 💯 you will get it for sure then you'll be on the roads with the full A license 👊🏽
All the best with the next attempt
@@XAVZLIFE thank you very much, my serious faults were signaling incorrectly, bend positions, and rear observations and changing directions, but mainly positioning on the road was what got me to fail
@@XAVZLIFE did mine in Mitcham today, I failed again. 2 majors and only 3 minors, it would of been a pass if it weren't for those majors. Damn it 🤦🏽♂️
@@jabirsharif8315 what were the majors if you don't mind me asking?
@@XAVZLIFE positioning (park in a safe place) and meeting/judgement (near parked cars and oncoming vehicles simultaneously, now I gotta wait another 8 weeks to do it again
Got mine booked in here! Do you remember where they asked you to go for self-directed riding please? I'm not too familiar with this part of London so every little helps, cheers for the vid and well done!
Good luck on the test and thank you! Around the 9 minute mark is where I had to ride independently on the test but the route was slightly different by literally a few roads. Thankfully this area was not too difficult. Main thing is to remember the change speed limits on the roads and just be careful on the roundabouts. This area is pretty chilled to ride on most of the time and the roads are nice and open.
@@XAVZLIFE Passed today, cheers mate! Weather was mad, high winds and frequent rain/hail/thunder and lightning hahah - but yes, the route was the same as this, so having a vid was really helpful and I appreciate the upload. For anyone needing an instructor for Mod 2, I cannot recommend Choice motorbikes enough either. Be safe!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I'm glad the video helped.
The weather was definitely a bit crazy that day but regardless you did it. Must feel amazing knowing you now have a license that isn't restricted anymore. Ride safe and thank you for watching and supporting! Congrats once again 🙏🏽✌🏽
Done mine with choice too amazing guys
I'm doing mine tomorrow in mitcham too! It's crazy how I've been looking for a video like this for the last month and you uploaded it yesterday. Why did it only last 19 minutes and why did the examiner go in front of you at the end? Also why was there a learner in front of you the whole time? Isn't this just a practice ride?
This was a mock of the actual route and on the real MOD2 the examiner took us both on pretty much the exact same route. I did the mock route probably about 3 times with different instructors and when taking the real thing the route was the same. full test only lasted 29 minutes including the independent riding, sight check at the start etc
The ride itself lasted about 20 minutes which I didn't expect as it was so quick.
Good Luck tomorrow

@@XAVZLIFE thanks mate. Sorry for asking so many questions. When I did my 4 day training my instructor was very good at telling me road discipline and safety but he didn't once take me through the mitcham test route, even though he knew I'm going to take it there
@@TronciM Your welcome and no worries at all!
They should have really taken you on the test route just to get familiarised with the roads. If you end up going to a section with alot more houses and residential looking with random tight corners, 1st gear is your best option for really tight bends and ride thr clutch and rear brake...thats if you end up going to that section.
Honestly all the best, as long as you know your road displine, you just apply that to any ride you go on and you'll be fine.
@@XAVZLIFE who did you get as an examiner? Was it a muscular guy with a beard and tattoos?
@@TronciM it was a guy called warren. Shaved head with a beard
Nice to see Mark from Phoenix (right?)
That's correct. It was mark good👌🏽
Can you recommend the training centre that will take me to Mitcham? I did my mod 2 in Uxbridge but failed. I heard Mitcham’s test route is probably a better one ?
Phoenix Motorcycle school in crystal palace. Defo them. hope that helps
Is there only one test route in mitcham or are there many?
There are maybe 2-3 but it depends who you get on the day. Very similar routes. I've done 2 routes and it's pretty straight forward
Hello mate, was just wondering. In this test centre, is there a designated motorcycle parking spot if you go straight from MOD 1 to MOD 2, and where do they ask the eyesight test from there? Thanks
Hi there, my eye sight test was done by where the toilet section is and they made me read a plate of a car in the car park bay. I'm not sure if that's the usual spot they do it from I'm afraid.
Doing mine in October here, also with Phoenix!
Good lucky with it! Hope all goes well for you. Keep me updated
@@XAVZLIFEwill do, just passed the mod 1 yesterday, mod 2 on Thursday (I’m on the black Honda lol)
that guy is my intructor at phoenix haha
haha no way
The bike you were on here, was it a 125 or bigger? sounds kinda meaty?
Also, can you ride >125CC on the roads if you are with an instructor and preparing for your mod 2?
Cb650r
i have no idea why i have only just got this notification. sorry its a Honda CB650R
I think you can pretty much ride anything you like but i know riding a bigger heavier bike does help you to be more prepared as the 1st thing you'll notice with a bigger bike is the weight difference and size especially when manoeuvring.
Hi this is amazing! Thanks! I’m taking my test soon next week. Is there anyway you can list the route? I don’t know the area well and my instructor hasn’t taken me this route. I have no more lessons before next week. 🙏🏼
Thank-you!, sorry im seeing this so late. I'll try to pull up the route on Google maps and send it over today
Good luck with the test!
@@XAVZLIFE thanks!! 🙏🏼
@@XAVZLIFE tomorrow! So route would be appreciated if you can. Thank you!
It's so difficult on maps to do the route and plot the different points unfortunately. Also if they take you on a different route it renders this route quite useless for you sadly. I would focus on just ensuring a good safe ride regardless of the route and bring that pass home 💯🔥🔥. All the best!
I also bought a CBR650R in Chiswick Honda, but module 2 is like an evil for me 😢😢😢. I am just waiting to pass it and get my bike 😭😭😭
You will have it soon my friend. I actually preferred Mod 2 that Mod 1. I couldn't stand Mod 1🤣. Congrats on the CBR, that's a solid bike. Chiswick Honda has a great selection of bikes🔥. Hope to see you riding on that CBR soon.
The Norbury road from Mac Donald’s/Lidl is a 20 zone
Is this route used on every test? Thx
This is 1 of the main routes for sure. It may vary slightly on the test depending on the examiner
how did you find the Honda CB650R? considering one when (if) I pass my tests
It was actually a pretty good bike. Nice and upright. Comfortable. Definitely enough power for the road and just easy to live with. Overall it's a good solid bike
@@XAVZLIFE they look nice. Im learning on the Yamaha MT-07, so debating to get a naked bike or the BMW 850gs
@@sobek honestly depends on your needs. The GS is extremely comfortable, insane amount of leg room and just super practical. MT07 is more on the sporty side of things. Very fun bike
@@XAVZLIFE oh if I had the money, id get both (Im 6'4" too)
I failed it today, the examiner told me all the ride was good with the exception of a major fault I`ve done. At the first left road turn after the video started, there is a tram crossing, I saw the signs, I even saw the 30MPH sign on the surface of the road and increased my speed, if I am not mistaken, at about 5 to 6 meter to the "stop line" the trafic light turned to yellow right at that moment and I judged best to speed up and pass through it quick, thanksfully no accident happened ( well, the tram passed maybe 20 sec later after I passed the crossing) the examiner stopped before the crossing and I found a safe place just few meters away and pulled over and waited for him. when I saw he was moving (through the mirror) I did right sign , right shoulder check and moved off, all safe, and completed the ride until the last moment he explained I should have stopped because thats a big risk I took. well no argument, I trust his judgmentand accepted my fate. 300 £ for another test :(
Ahh I'm sorry to hear that.That is very unfortunate! The good thing is the examiner said the ride was good apart from that 1 thing which can happen to any of us. I wish the all the best with the next attempt and just focus on that. You will get it!🙏🏽👌🏽 then once you have the full license you are free to enjoy any bike you like.
I also failed my first mod 2. Perfect ride but one major fault. I came too fast off a dual carriageway onto an overpass turning left over the carriageway. My front tyre went onto the central line on the road on the corner and he failed me saying 'had a large vehicle been coming the other direction there may have been a collision on the corner'. He was right but I was PO'ed for a while. Passed my mod 2 on the second attempt so its doable. Well done on the no minors and keep the faith man 👍.
I actually failed my test last month (Fri 13th May) for the actions just like this video at 06:05 (The red van trying to cut in). I had a very similar instance where someone tried to undertake me (Yes i know - stupid) in traffic while i was in the RH lane coming over the round about (using the speed limit) and then by focusing on the person trying to get in front of me (As we came my body to his driver door) i became too close (further away than the bike in front of the rider in this instance) from the car in front of me.
So a watch out for anyone doing MOD 2, maybe i should have backed off and let the under taker in? i don't know but, i failed on a major of exceeding the close distance or what ever its called because I got too close to the vehicle in front of me when this happened.
That is so unfortunate! Sorry to hear that. In most of these situations when something like the red van incident happens or like your situation, we get penalised for it when it comes to the MOD 2 even if its not our fault sadly. Just go for that MOD 2 again when you can and I hope you bag it with ease and no issues like this attempt. All that's needed is the pass and you're good to go for the big bikes and from there the learning and bike journey continues🔥. I wish you all the best on the next attempt!
I cant believe an examiner would fail you for the incompetence and error of someone else? If you've done everything right but someone else has put you in a dangerous situation by no fault of your own, I would hope an examiner would be giving you the benefit of the doubt rather than fail you. So sorry mate
@@TheBaseUK They will fail us for anything , they make more money this way , I have my test soon , I'm courious what's gonna be
Fail !
