bike test under fire again
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Yeh well done BEEB 
But let's be serious, they haven't managed to actually kill anybody yet!
These are only people trying to get a bike licence after all, so this is just another way of stopping them I suppose.
We all know they're just going to kill themselves later, so why should anybody care?
Lets face it if these people have forked out all the money, struggled to get a convenient date, then travelled miles to a centre they are pretty determined so lets see if a few broken bones can put them off biking.
Seriously ridiculous to ask new/young riders to do this.
I know what they are trying to achieve, but looking at the supposed obstacle braking, trying to monitor your speed to keep it fast enough, then remembering to calmly release the brakes and turn is not going to happen for many of these people. They will regularly hang onto the brakes and try to turn whilst braking, so down they go.
Let's face it, if this was in real life, you would not be trying to monitor/keep your speed up before you decided to brake then steer round a pedestian ot whatever.
