2020 FULL MOD 2 MOTORCYCLE TEST - NOTTINGHAM - 0 FAULT PASS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Hope you enjoy my MOD 2 practical motorcycle test in Nottingham. This was done in July 2020, the date and time stamp on the footage is correct (it was an early start)! This is the bike I've primarily learned on, it's a Yamaha MT-07, my training school has just taken delivery of two brand new ones!
Speaking of training schools, I would HIGHLY recommend Roadcraft Nottingham based on BEECHDALE ROAD, NOTTINGHAM who helped me through all my training, from CBT to MOD1/MOD2. Check out their page/channel for hours of help and advice!

As hard as 2020 has been this is one of the best things that I have achieved throughout it!
Apologies for it not being as polished/edited as well as others but this is my first proper upload and I'm new to this. Any advice/criticism will be taken onboard for future uploads. I've added a couple of notes along the way but if you have any questions drop me a comment and I'll try to elaborate. The footage starts just after the show me/tell me questions from the examiner, if you don't know them have a read through them from the .gov website.
If anyone is nervous/due to take their MOD 2 the best advice I can give is if your training school is willing to put you in for your test, relax, you're ready! This is one of the Nottingham routes the examiner likes, especially early mornings, less traffic. The few times I stop is when the examiner asked me to and was also giving me instructions of what we were doing next.
Lastly, I probably will further edit this footage in the future but this is the pretty raw, original footage.
Thanks for watching (and reading this if you have!) and happy riding! Please drop me a like if you did!
*edit* I've had to mute a few sections of music so excuse some silent sections, apparently the royalty free music I used isn't free lol **
Passed mine at Notts yesterday ( first time ) . Thanks for the upload it helped me
Thats great news! What bike you getting/got?
@@binghambiker6656 That’s probably the hardest thing now 😅 Not got anything atm - fancying the Vulcan S... but will be long term or not? I was rattling around on a Yam MT07 for the lessons and test
@@Morthwyl Yeah I learnt on an MT07 too. I got a FZ1-S, nice and speedy (check my TikTok, same name/no space). Quite like the MT10 but the missus likes to pillion so might get something a bit more pillion friendly next time. Just about to start riding for Notts Blood Bikes too and they use Yam FJR1300's so will see what they're like
@@binghambiker6656 Notts blood bikes? I applaud you 👏
Great video. Congrats on the zero faults pass. I am taking my Mod1/2 down south later in the year. Just studying all videos of tests and training so I can prepare. I didn’t spot examiner in your mirrors till halfway through so thought this might be an after test rerun. Safe travels.
0 Faults great result. Welcome to the 0 club!!
The music going on and off really made me question if I was going deaf...congrats on the pass. Got my test in 2 weeks with only 2 lessons under my belt due to the coranavirus thing...gonna be tricky.
Pass?
Thanks, how did you do? Yeah sorry about the music, was meant to be royalty free... pfft
Managed to pass first try. Thanks for the vid it definitely helped to ease the nerves
Well done on passing your test,. Good vid useful for my friend who is now doing his DAS to see what the road ride module is like in real life and what to expect on the day ride safe man.
I watched this video religiously before my MOD2 and got near enough the same route via netherfield town. Managed to pass with just 1 minor! Cheers bud
Great! Well done fella!
Awesome! Well done. The dislikes are from people with faults 😂
Haha thanks ! All made possible cos of you guys, especially Leanna 😁
Dislike for the stupid fking music.
Gonna study the shit out of this if this is a perfect pass. Taking mine in the same place (Nottingham) so learning the roads and speed limits ect is gonna help massively.
My only bit of advice is to try and relax and treat it like a rideout. That's what I did. Make sure that the examiner can see you checking your mirrors and doing your life savers. Good luck with it 👍
@@janinew233 thanks I appreciate that ❤❤
@@janinew233 failed my mod 2. Had pretty much same route as this video and thought this road as 22:48 was a one way street for some fucking reason. Other than that stupid mistake would have passed with the minor 😂😭👍
@@potnoodles4life171 sorry to hear that. Are you doing training with a school at all? They normally take you down most of the test routes and tell you what to look out for. I highly recommend roadcraft in Nottingham. Leanna is great.
@@janinew233 thanks guys, I learn with roadcraft. They are all great.
PASSED MY MOD 2 TODAY !!! 🥳🥳🥳
Congrats mate !
Congrats dude im shitting myself
Good riding, decent route that is. Was surprising when he turned you left into the retail park, I assume it’s to watch you on islands. Thanks for the video
Thanks. Yeah it was just to get a roundabout into the test 👍
Failed mine yesterday! With only 3 minors and about 200metres to the test centre and end of exam, I was at a traffic light in lane singalling to turn right in front of a box junction (right arrow clearly on the ground). Some 18 wheeler from Europe decides to come past me on the left lane (arrow indicating straight on his lane) and pulls up ahead, put his truck ahead of me and turns in slightly to the right. If I raised my right elbow an inch I would have touched him he got that close to me. I moved off and took the right turn because I had enough space to get into the new road and if he moved on, he would've touched my front wheel or even crushed me. The exit wasn't even clear for him and had he taken it, his trailer would've blocked the whole box junction!! Examiner said, I should've stayed put but he was several meters behind me so very unlikely the truck would've made contact with him from where he was positioned. I'm a competent rider and had this gut feeling, it wasn't me who was going to mess up but someone else for me. Absolutely effing fuming. Passed Mod1 first time. Could've passed Mod2 first time but for the actions of another road user. I have to wait 10 days to do again but the weather will only get worse as it chucked it down the whole time I was riding!!! Honestly feel like it was my best chance to pass and unnecessarily have to fork out more cash to do something I technically passed first time round. Absolute knobhead HGV effed up my exam when he could've waited knowing full well I'm wearing high-vis with an examiner clearly behind me on a bigger bike. Gutted!
Gutted for you mate, but at least on the bright side you only have to wait 10 days. Know someone that had to wait over a month for a retest. To be fair tho this is the ethos of riding a bike, take a breath, let it slide and carry on. You'll get there !
Well done on your pass. Oh I'm glad I found this vlog. I've got my Mod2 on the 18th June. I hope I get this test route too. Where did you do your hill start? I didn't see unless on the video it just looked flat. I'm currently training with Leanna too. She's a great instructor. 👍
She is! Did my advanced with her too, about to start with the Notts Blood Bikes thanks to Leanna. Can't remember specifically doing a hill start...
@@binghambiker6656 great stuff. What bike did you end up getting after you passed? I've already bought mine and I'm so itching to get on it. Fingers crossed 🤞I pass cause my insurance starts on the 18th lol 😆
@@janinew233 I got a FZ1-S. Didn't want to spend a fortune so its an older one (06) but really is a nice ride. Fast as too! Lol
@@janinew233 hey did you pass? 👍👍
@@potnoodles4life171 I did with zero faults. The day was torrential rain too. My examiner said "if I could give you a gold star I would, your riding was impeccable and in this rain" so you can imagine I was over the moon.
Got my Mod 2 this Tuesday and I'm shitting myself. Just going through all the POV videos trying to soak up some more exposure.
When unsure of speed limit on test, just do somewhere between 20 and 30mph and hope for the best xD
Why be unsure if the speed limit. If there are lampposts with no repeaters on, or no speed markings then it's 30.
Every other speed limit will repeat the limit, this is assuming you missed the 30 sign as you entered it.
If you're unsure of the speed limit and hoping for the best... you shouldn't be on the road!
@@Tall_Stu are you in fact not familiar with how crap the british road signs are !!!
6:24 they have right of way? My guess is that this is like a normal juntion you're stopped at & their on main road??...
Yeah pretty much, you don't quite see but at the zebra crossing there's a no entry sign so those cars are coming "up" a one-way street so I have no option but to turn right but also have a give-way at the junction. Had the lorry been a car I'd have probably been able to turn at the same time (as they can't really do anything but turn up the road I was coming from) but as he was larger I allowed him room. Examiner actually commented on this junction and how I dealt with it, was very pleased.
@@binghambiker6656 Got cha, I did spot the no entry sign as I thought would be a better design for a mini round about. Just, wouldn't make sense as you couldn't go down that way anyways. I take it it's a priority system give way? Anyways, I agree you dealt with that junction very well & was quite impressed if that was your first time at this particular junction!
@@Near2Future It is an area I know quite well to be honest as is most of Nottingham. So can't claim it was unknown lol
@@Near2Future and to be honest you're right, it probably would be better having a mini roundabout. Funnily enough there's a junction almost identical a couple of streets away that does have a mini roundabout. Maybe its the available space that prevents it.
@@binghambiker6656 I just thought it wasn't a mini roundabout due to the no entry. Might cause more confusion, their definitely is a space restriction for sure. Would definitely need to drive over wet paint if it was raining, would cause a hazzard. Just a bizarre junction due to that no entry & alot of signs you need to account for.
Thanks for posting. How long did the independent ride part last for you?
Hey, so it was from when he pulled me over at 09.00 and until we pulled over again at about 20.00
Bingham Biker 11 hours?
@@ronaldbear1 haha, sorry, I mean timestamp of the video...
@@ronaldbear1 yeah mine was 11 hours 🙄 bore off
Some commentary would be nice to improve the video, minus the music.
Great tune that
My biggest problem will be remembering to do shoulder checks every turn ect because my memory is really bad, does the instructor give advise as you ride or is it pure silence unless making turns ect?
Sorry I never replied, the examiner won't make a noise other than to give directions. But mine did make a few comments along the way, he mentioned the dog as we went past and I worried I didn't give enough space after seeing how far out he went (might not be able to tell from my right mirror), but at the end he did say I handled it fine and just mentioned that if the dog did get loose I/we would have been within our rights to "gun it" lol.
Have you had your MOD1/2 now?
@@binghambiker6656 funny enough I just did first lesson for my mod 1 an hour ago 😁 should have the mod 1 done by July hopefully
@@binghambiker6656 update buddy mod 1 passed and mod 2 on the 14th
@@potnoodles4life171 Did you pass? got my mod 2 in 3 weeks.
@@PersonallyDeveloped ended up testing positive for covid 3 days before test so had to re book 😤😤🔥🔥 it's now the 15th of August 😂 best of luck bud you'll be fine just remember shoulder checks, lane positioning and watch your speed down busy roads. Let me know how you get on I'll do the same 👍😉
At 5:40 did you not miss a right shoulder check? Incase a car/moped was overtaking you to go straight on or right
I see what you're saying and would probably have been good to just to cover it but dont think I was required to as it wasn't a junction I was turning onto. The road bent around the the right, straight on would have been "left" and is then a one way street. But agree now looking back as a sudden change of direction would probably have been worth having a glance over my shoulder.
@@binghambiker6656 yh man otherwise a good test you carried out here 👍🏼 I hope the examiner is linent and not an ass
Checking mirrors alot, and double checking life savers isnt a fault? my instructor must be just making sure its all A* lol, got my MOD 1 monday and hopefully mod 2 asap after
passed ?
I did notice something, when pulling off from a junction, your still in 2nd gear? Does that help?
The MT-07 is quite forgiving and if im honest I do prefer to stay in 2nd if I'm still rolling but can set off in 2nd too.
@@binghambiker6656 thank you! Its a bike im currently learning on, and its a good forgiving bike I agree! I have my mod 2 tomorrow!
@@ryanolden5304 Where are you doing yours? How'd you do?
@@binghambiker6656 hey, I did my mod1 on Tuesday 25th May, and passed that in the rain 🙄, then had my mod 2 on the Friday 28th and passed that with 1 minor 😔! Did mine at Nottingham, Colwick.
Yea!! Hahhahah!! 😂
Do you need any permission to record your test? My instructor is telling me that I can’t!
I always wear a camera, before and after my test (Inc lessons). On my MOD1 I asked the examiner and he said no as its private land. On my MOD2 I simply didn't ask. But it does have a red light at the back that he would have seen as my instructor sees it easily enough and he didn't say anything. It was the same examiner too for my MOD2 as my MOD1.
What was that knob head beeping at 4:38? Nice riding
I think it was the pedestrian. Certainly not me anyway lol
My mod2 is tomorrow and can't cope with the nerves..
@@gixxer_jake well good luck mate, is it in Nottingham?
@@binghambiker6656 No mate , York. Thanks ill be out on the bike after if I pass
@@gixxer_jake So how'd you do?
How many faults can u have and what type of faults do they fault you on
If im honest I don't know the official structure as I didn't get any ;). Click on Roadcraft Nottinghams channel (in my comments) and ask on one of their videos. They're who I learnt with and will know the exact answer I'm sure...
You defo made a few minors there. One was your wheel being past the giveway junction, you also missed a few life savers. Just my opinion. Always on the intructor to be honest.
The music totally ruins what would no doubt be a useful aid to people and a good video.its a driving test not a tour of a LA hood by night!
Sorry you feel that, tried to use some pretty chilled neutral music. You do know you can turn it down/off right?
No faults... meaning the examiner didn’t see you cross the double white lines at 9:56 ;)
I jest, there’s nothing unsafe there, but technically I think that’s a fault if not a fail
Haha if that's all you can pick up on I'm happy. BTW I think you need a catch up on rule 129 of the HC.
@@binghambiker6656 I’d argue (well, not argue, you know what I mean) that you could have safely waited another couple of yards and still stayed well clear of the parked cars. But yeah that’s probably the examiner’s logic for not giving you a fault when it was clearly safe and you had an otherwise faultless ride - I don’t think most examiners actually want to fail people
@@audigex If I'd have to defend (which I don't but you know what I mean 😏). I've just rewatched around the time, before and after and you can see me nod at 9.42 as he was giving me instructions to pull over after the car and I do remember seeing the car and thinking 'it's facing me, what if someone is at the boot' so I pulled out in good time, as it was clear. If it hadn't have been (clear) I'd have slowed more/been prepared to stop.
Bingham biker 😂😂
Is it me ...or do u have a habit of looking down alot
