I've only been riding for about 3 months, only got about 110 miles on my bike. I've thankfully already mitigated these habits to prepare for my full A tests
Hi im a 50 year old male i passed my cbt in August 2025. Im looking to do my full bike test in 2026 ibwould love to chat to you more for more information
Don't filter on mod 2, your test is 38 to 40 mins if you spend 10 mins stuck in traffic, it's much easier to pass. A good instructor will make you aware of this beforehand.
He needs to think about his positioning too. He tends to be to the left of his lane. I believe most instructors tell you to stick to position 2, down the middle. That left position combined with the indicator is a recipe for disaster.
Ive just done my cbt, i seem to have an issue where i want to put both feet on the ground when stationary,, i will be practicing this alot to try and get out of it,, i think its my natural feeling to get both on the deck , need to drum it in me,, never ridden a bike always a car
nothing makes me cringe more than riders who leave their indicator on. If you're gonna remember anything on a bike, let it be to cancel your indicator for fuck sake. Such a daft thing that could end your life
if anybody told me to just sit there with my foot on the brake at a red light, i would smack the shit out of you. especially if we were on flat ground.
and again foot on the brake at a light is not a good thing to do, you call them life savers, they are the opposite. if i need to get out of any situation quickly, having your foot on the brake is not good practice. you need to be able to react and move quickly, not sit on the brake and get plowed by another vehicle.
Bro, where you from That’s my neck of the woods. I used to live on pool lane by back up the road over the lights, from where the video starts 😅
I’m originally from brandhall
Passed my mod 1 yesterday Got my mod 2 next Monday
He’s got a lot of bad habits. Needs to re learn everything really. Both feet is normal for that style bike. But what he’s doing wrong is using the front brake when you should of been on the rear brake and would of had his foot up anyway
If he learns or relearns using the rear brake more for corners and slow riding or stopping, the one foot up with come with it.
Probably would of been better to use a Cardo or something similar
I have been on CBT for years and when I started big bike lessons I struggled putting my left foot down, and had seemingly forgot about right lifesavers. I've got my mod 2 on Tuesday and I'm riding like a proper rider these days.

Send him to a proper instructor.
Why indicate when going straight over a roundabout?
out of curiosity, why is it bad to put your right foot on the ground instead of on the foot brake?
is this done on purpose? holy he should not be on the road haha.

I think Andy needs to retake the cbt tbh all the basic training clearly gone out the window stay safe Andy lad
The longer you ride on a CBT, the more bad habits you learn…
This is why multiple CBT is a bad thing. I think he needs a reality check. I'm more than happy to help.
Remove his blinker relay….
He’s awful. Never mind saving money.
Get Andy some lessons or rip up his certificate.

Unfortunately this seems to be your average L plater that has done multiple CBTs, they get complacent with bad habits.
Marauders were annoying with the indicators think you cancelled and never
He's a bit like Labour, a bit too far on the left.
He wouldnt even pass a cbt

This lad has absolutely no chance of passing his test without lessons from a professional instructor.
A constant stream of minors and majors.
I sit both feet at every light , 20yrs riding in the states
You mate is hopeless. No lifesavers. And failing to cancel an indicator can be dangerous.
Why can you not put both feet down?
ffs andy
Andy seems to have lost his head, the instructor clearly told him more than 3 times about that indicator and he completely ignored him 😂😂

Wish I had someone like you 4 years ago when I went for my license.
Failed mod one twice, passed mod 2 first time.
Great work bro I hope you are forever blessed for your kindness 💙
What dows the term "lifesaver " refer to?
