Another reason why the new test has been delayed

#1 Post by TC » Sat Jan 24, 2009 10:40 pm

At a meeting yesterday, I found out that apart from the issue over finding suitable land on which to build the new super test centres, over 70% of the examiners failed the hazard avoidance and slow riding element of the test :smt009

Apparently the results were kept very low key, I wonder why? :smt017

Fantastic ... well sort of ... until they do introduce it and no new riders ever pass a bike test ......

But do they need to ride?

From what I understand when bike tests were 1st started it was the same examiner who did the car tests and they didn't have to know how to ride then.
