Motorcycle
Ever wanted to ride motorcycles on the streets of the UK? You can have your wish fulfilled. Riding a motorcycle requires passing the motorcycle theory test. Possibly the most difficult component of the motorcycle test is the theory portion. You’ll need to rely on your reading abilities.
Components of the test
A multiple-choice section plus a hazard perception section make up this test. Both exams have a predetermined amount of questions and a minimum passing score that must be achieved. One sitting is allowed for the completion of this examination.
Requirements of the test
When learning to ride a moped, the minimum age to take the theory test is 16 years old, and when learning to ride a motorcycle with a full license, the minimum age is 17. It’s important to note that if a rider uses a CBT, the theory test is not necessary. The theory test will be necessary, though, if the rider wants to ride without their “L” plates and on a full pink license.
If you already passed the theory test and want to advance to the next level of your license as a rider with a full A1 or A2 license, you do not need to retake the test.
Multiple-choice questions
The multiple-choice portion of the theory test consists of 50 questions. You must correctly answer at least 43 out of 50 questions based on various scenarios to pass. A center scenario will be the basis for five questions, each of which is worth one point.
You have 57 minutes to finish this.
You can buy a DVSA motorcycle theory Test to practice mock tests and pass at your first try.
The majority of the questions are straightforward, but a couple will catch you off guard because what you believe to be the right answer may not be it, particularly when it comes to questions about traffic signs.
You will be given a 3-minute break after you finish the assessment before the hazard perception exam starts.
Hazard perception test
The challenging part of this test is recognizing hazards; 14 riding-related video clips will be shown to you. There will be a developing danger in 13 of these films. One of these 14 wills, however, has two threats, so you must be as alert as you can.
The purpose of this test is to ascertain how quickly you can identify a hazard and take appropriate action. Depending on how quickly you responded to the hazard, you will receive a score out of 5. The passing score must be at least 44 out of a possible 75 points.
It is not a difficult test. Your only responsibility in this situation is to click the mouse if you sense a threat that would need you to change your speed or direction, such as a car or pedestrian suddenly pulling out into traffic in front of you.
As already indicated, the quicker the hazard is spotted and the mouse clicked, the more points are given; if you do not click in time, you receive no points.
