UK Motorcycle Test (Module 2) Pass - October 2020 - Basildon
This is my MOD 2 test at the Basildon test centre in October 2020. I passed with 2 minor faults:
3:08 - Signals, Correctly: I was too late switching from indicating right to indicating left to leave the roundabout.
7:58 - Junctions, Observation: The examiner said that I should've taken more time to observe at the roundabout. I don't entirely agree with this one.
The bike is a 2016 CB500F and this test was for my A2 licence.
You'll be asked to carry out normal stops, an angle start (pulling out from behind a parked vehicle) and a hill start where possible.
Normal Stops: 8:10, 15:05, 16:55
Angled Start: 11:25
You’ll have about 10 minutes of independent riding, this starts at 17:48.

A tip I heard about Basildon - if you turn left out the test centre you won't get a hill start but if you turn right you will.
Congratulations on passing 👍
Very nice riding, congrats
I passed here Tuesday. I even parked in the same spot as you in order to visualise success.
Great job and thanks for sharing. Bit worried for you when you stopped across from the bus stop though.

I realised just after I stopped, luckily I don't think the examiner noticed! Annoyingly I only had to pull over because the examiner got stuck at the roundabout... Where I live we have London buses where the bus stops are much more obvious.
Well done bro. I failed for doing what you did on 7:58 in Enfield. Rebooked for Basildon in just under 2 weeks hopefully I get a bit more luck 🍀

What did the examiner say? Personally I think that fault was rubbish, the car on the right hadn't even entered the roundabout and didn't have to slow down at all. Good luck for the next one.

@@jackpimpson From what I've seen it's actually quite uncommon to go further south into town. Most of the routes take you north towards Billericary and Wickford like in the video. Apparently if you turn left out of the test centre you won't get a hill start but if you turn right you will. It's a pretty easy test centre, just make sure you're confident with larger roundabouts and watch out for the odd bus lane.

Well done 👍 🎉 Thank you for sharing your video. 🙏 I’ve been training in that same area with a great school. I can’t wait to do the module 2 but at the pace I’m going, it might be not this year. 🙄 My module 1 test has been cancelled twice. First on Monday due to examiners calling sick. Second time today Wednesday due to ice on the surface. Anyone watching this Chanel who are also training in this area, please leave a comment if anyone have ever had their test cancelled? 🤨 who could believe it. My friends and family won’t believe me. They’ll think I failed and I’m hiding it. 😂
They must have changed the pulling away from a parked position since you did it as I see you checked both mirrors, right shoulder check and went. As I’ve been told to check right mirror, then left shoulder check and then right shoulder check and if safe to do so indicate and pull away.
Well done, got my mod 1 end of July there & mod 2 not sure when as the school hasn’t given a date which will be after mod 1..don’t want to be doing an autumn mod 2 though as I wanted to get on the road during august.. what time of the day was this? Any tips?

I’ve spent a chunk already, thought going a tad extra would only help as I don’t have a bike and it’s almost 5 weeks before I get on the bike, hopefully it will help get the feel of the bike before the test… your thoughts?

Well done for passing (10 months go) I've got my mod 2 here very early on Wednesday morning. Is the route generally the same regardless of going left or right from the test centre? Also, the side roads you were going down you were doing about 20-23mph.....are they 20mph roads? I'm good with hill stops cos I live near a few hills and always stopping on my 125 in traffic. What was your independ riding like? It was a very short test and hoping mine will be the same! 🤞🤞🤞

@@Aaron-rr1gs I was hoping someone may be able to guide me to a link as this is the only Basildon one i have found , someone in the comments mentioned the there was 3 routes in total . It would be nice to check the routes out for speed changes ,because my trainer took me on a route that went up to Ramsden bell house and he pointed out a sneaky 20 school zone sign straight after a right hand bend immediately after coming up the hill after the fox and hounds. Its was a real sneaky sign real hidden by bushes , so i think i need to check all the routes out asap and look for more of these hidden gems, thanks Levi

@@levibailey4907 This is the only footage of Basildon test centre on KZread as far as I can tell. There are probably more than 3 routes but I'm not an examiner so I can't tell you. Speed limit changes are probably the biggest thing to look out for if you're on unfamiliar roads. The best advice I can give is to keep your eyes up and try to spot the signs. If you're unsure then try and go by the speed of other traffic. If you're speeding the examiner will tend to drop back a bit or if you're going to slow the examiner might come a bit closer to you but it's not the most reliable trick.
How come you didn't get a rap on the wrist for going over those chevrons just at/near end?🤔
