The MotorcycleTheory Test
If you want to sit your test to ride a motorcycle on UK roads without being restricted to a 125cc bike with learner plates then you are going to have to sit a theory test before you do so.
A lot of people dread sitting the test thinking it will be difficult, this is especially the case for those of us who haven't studied anything for more than a few years. The fact is, the theory test is pretty simple as long as you are willing to spend a few hours in revision be for you visit the test centre.
What does the motorcycle theory test comprise?
The theory test is in 2 parts. The first of which is a simple test of your knowledge of the highway code and is not dissimilar from the same test for car drivers although if you are like me then you passed your car driving test before the theory test existed so you have no experience of it. Basically you just need to memorise what all the road traffic signs mean and simple rules about using the public roads on a motorcycle. You can pick up a book which will give you all the answers you need to know so if you can read there is no excuse for failing this.
The second part of the motorcycle theory test is called hazard perception. You'll be shown a video of certain real life road situations on the computer and you'll have to click your mouse whenever you see a potential hazard developing. It like playing a really bad computer game but as long as you concentrate you should have no problem passing with flying colours.
