Do you have an A1 category licence or above already? This only works if you do as the one I used only had options for CBT or full bike licence I think, and A1, A2 count as a full licence (although restricted)
@@wieczor25 Very nice bike. With the temp insurance, it won't work with my method unfortunately as you're doing CBT -> Cat A, rather than A1 -> A2/A. I recommend just calling up different bike insurance companies explaining your situation. Don't forget you can always take out a year, and cancel early if their policy on cancellation is not expensive - fully legally doing that!
Don't worry about it at all, CBT instructors will teach you the basics. You only need to be concerned about that when it comes to taking your theory test (either the motorcycle theory or car theory test). Remember a CBT doesn't count as a 'licence', and it's hard to 'fail' it - they'll just tell you to come back for additional training. I always compare it to having a provisional driving licence, apart from the added bonus you can ride around by yourself. Easy to get, takes half a day, and costs ~£100. Win-win right lol.
Nice to see new video. I have a question. If I'm changing lane (on dual/single carriageway or 30mph road) from right to left - should I use left indicator?
If the road splits from one lane to two, as long as you position appropriately before the lanes split then your fine, but as a rule on your test just shoulder check and indicate. Its better to get a minor for inappropriate signal than a major/serious for not signalling
Glad to see you're appreciating them, more in progress! Normal situations, definitely yes (1. Check your mirror 2. IF clear, indicate left 3. Shoulder check left / life saver 4. Move to left lane). Going from 1 to 2 lanes, exactly what @ImSamC said. Merging from 2 lanes to 1, definitely indicate again - especially if there are any vehicles close to you. It is rare for examiners to fail you if you excessively use signals when not needed UNLESS they put other road users in danger, for example forgetting to turn off you're indicator after a manoeuvre.
@@C9S1 I recently did my test, and i found your videos extremely helpful, I have really bad test nerves and found it especially hard on my car test to stay relax but seeing your videos definitely helped
@@EupedUpp I'm happy to hear that, didn't realise it would help so many people who had nerves by simply watching a video. Speaking of that, was actually going to do the same type of video for the driving test but didn't have a dashcam / GoPro when I did mine unfortunately
I have some questions for question 6 (about the center providing a motorcycle). If you train on a motorcycle that is provided, with an instructor, do you use that motorcycle in the test, or do you need your own bike for the training and test even with an instructor?
No you don't need use your own bike in that case, basically more or less all instructors or schools have the bike hire and insurance etc included for the test - so you don't need to worry about that. It's good practice to anyway so you have a good a feel for the bike and the controls
Really? First time hearing of this. Is it actually through DVSA or another company at the test cetnre. If DVSA did directly it would open them up to all sorts of liabilities I would imagine
@@C9S1Yeah, I got my CBT coming up this Thursday and I'll be using their bike and gear. I'm not too sure if its directly by DVSA though. I can give you the details of the centres if you'd like? Also, Thank you for your video. Gave me an insight to what I can expect.
@@abcijaas123 No prob at all. Yeah please do, interesting stuff. Have you used the bikes before, cos the only problem with that is you don't get a feel for it beforehand i.e, clutch, balance, weight , turning circles etc
@@C9S1 These are the 2 schools that are near me www.a-surepass.co.uk/ and www.1stclasscbt.com/. Regarding getting feel for the bike, I know surepass has a free first lesson before the CBT for beginners to get a feel for the bike and learn the absolute basics.
I turned up to my Mod 1, and examiner refused to let me do the test because I wasn't wearing any boots. I was begging him to let me. I had all my other gear apart from boots 😂 Very Luckily, another rider kindly lent me his boots and passed ☺️
No way that's brilliant what a legend, I can just imagine the conversation with him 😂 Out of curiosity what shoes were you wearing, cos if it was like converses or vans I can understand why they refused it. Luckily they seemed a good fit / size for you, unlike that guy whose comment I put up for the second question lol
yeh hahah. I was wearing some Nike trainers, but bought some boots in time for mod 2 :) They were actually far too big for me, but did the trick. Really appreciate your videos btw, I used both your live comentary videos to prepare me, very helpful.

Thank you for your info and for doing this brother.
Could you please recommend a temp insurance for a test day? I want to use my bike for MOD2.

@@C9S1 Hi, only CBT at the momment.

@@C9S1 Ok, thanks for clearing that up!
@@C9S1 so they do supply bikes? sorry im confused
The centres in Plymouth provide bikes for an additional fee
