FAILING THE EYESIGHT TEST

If you fail the eyesight test it will be recorded as a major fault and will result in a test fail. Glasses and contact lenses are allowed to be worn on tests if needed. If you have any doubt at all about your eyesight during your training or before attending a motorcycle module two test, you are advised to have an eyesight test with an optician.

ANY MAJOR FAULT WILL RESULT IN A FAIL

You will be required to read a vehicle number plate from approximately 20 metres. 

If you are unable to read the number plate you will be asked to sit in the waiting room whilst the examiner measures the exact distance with a tape measure. A second attempt at the exact measured distance will be allowed. 

If you fail on the second attempt you will fail the Module Two motorcycle test and lose your test fee. The test will be terminated before it even starts.
