MODULE 1 TEST - PARKING-UP EXERCISE

After the gates have been closed you will be asked to ride the bike around in an arc and park up facing the fence. There are two sets of green cones and you will be asked to park in one of the parking bays between the 4 cones. You are advised to think about only one manoeuvre at a time, remain calm and do not rush any exercise. The examiner will take notice of what you are doing, as any faults will be recorded during the marking process. Although parking up is not a test criteria heading it is still possible to fail. By not rushing, parking up correctly can help to settle your nerves. It also allows you a little bit of extra time to view the test centre, the position of the cones and to assess the test centre surface.
