The right hand circuit - Slow Control exercises

Most riders struggle with the concept of Slow Control, if you add this to the mix when you are nervous the module 1 motorcycle test can become a very daunting prospect indeed. Learning what you need to do prior to having a go, is imperative to having a clear mind and understanding where to ride on each slow control exercise. There is a certain way to ride each manoeuvre, you should not just jump in with both feet and have a go and see if you can do it!

From The riders view

Learning the techniques is extremely important for your success. The slow control exercises consist of:

• Riding into the test centre
• Parking up
• Slalom and figure-of-eight exercises
• Slow ride
• U-Turn

From The examiners view

Each of the exercises except the slow ride have a technique and a proper training method of how to successfully negotiate each one in turn. Having both the riders and examiners view in this section really help to hone your skills and visualise the route through each section and identify the markers at the test centre to help you perform at the highest level. It is important to practice all the skills prior to attending the practical test, you must be mentally and physically prepared before taking the Module 1 motorcycle test.
