The New 2008 Motorcycle Test
The motorcycle test is going to get harder this year and as a result, it will make training and testing more expensive. The new test is set to be introduced in October and is to be conducted at the Driving Standards Agency new multi-purpose test centres.
The new practical test will have two elements to it.
- First will come the off-road higher speed manoeuvres and other exercises. These will take about eight minutes to complete.
- Then comes the accompanied riding element of the test, which is quite similar to the existing test.
What we have found with previous changes to legislation is that there is a last-minute scramble for places leaving many people disappointed.
If you want to be sure of getting your licence before the changes come in, you need to start booking now.
