Prior to undertaking any of the following DSA practical motorcycle tests, a candidate must hold a valid CBT certificate, a valid DSA motorcycle theory test certificate, and a Module 1 pass certificate.
Restricted A1 Licence
A practical test is taken on a motorcycle of between 75cc and 120cc with a power output not exceeding a power output of 11kW (14.6bhp). Upon passing this test, a rider is then restricted to a motorcycle meeting these specifications. This course is ideally suited to customers using their own motorcyle/scooter in the region of 100cc.
Restricted A2 Licence
A practical test is taken on a motorcycle of between 120cc and 125cc with a power output not exceeding 25kW (33bhp). Upon passing this test, a rider is then restricted for a period of two years to ride any motorcycle which is restricted to a maximum power output of 25kW (33bhp). After two years, any size of motorcycle with unlimited power output may be ridden without further test.
Direct Access (DAS)
Available to riders over the age of 21, a practical test can be taken on any motorcycle with a power output exceeding 33kW (46.6bhp). Upon passing this test, a rider may ride a motorcycle of any size with no power restriction. This training is undertaken on a Honda 500cc motorcyle and both customer and instructor are in radio contact at all times.
Maximum Rider/Instructor Ratio: 2:1.
The Driving Standards Agency’s practical motorcycle test is now comprised of two seperate modules. Module 1 is conducted on an approved DSA testing site, and includes both low speed and higher speed manoeuvres. Module 1 must be passed prior to undertaking Module 2, which is a practical on road test conducted from a DSA test centre.
Module 1 will take on average 22 minutes and is conducted on a purpose built site. The examiner will assess your control of the bike including;
Manual handling of the machine
Slalom
Figure of eight
Avoidance test
U-
Slow riding
in a straight line
Emergency stop
Those candidates who have passed Module 1 will receive a Test Pass Certificate which they must bring with them when they take Module 2.
Module 2 of the test will last approximately 57 minutes and will consist of an eyesight test, at least two road safety questions, and one pillion related question. You will then undertake at least 30 minutes of road riding, during which you will encounter a variety of road and traffic conditions which will include normal stops, and both hill and angle starts.
The eyesight test requires reading of a number plate in good daylight at a distance of 67 feet (20.5 metres). If you require glasses or contact lenses during the eyesight test then they must be worn throughout the course of the test.
During the test, the DSA examiner will be in radio contact and will assess your overall riding abilities, which can include the following points:
Safe riding
Compliance with correct road procedure
Obeying traffic signs.
Ability to
perform setting off and stopping exercises as above.
Making appropriate progress whilst riding.
Keeping up with traffic and maintaining
a safe following distance.
Showing confidence and good judgement.
Choosing the appropriate
speed for the type of road, density of traffic and weather.
Reacting correctly to
road signs and speed limits.
Anticipating and reacting appropriately to the actions
of other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and animals.
At the conclusion of the test, you will be informed of the result by the DSA examiner, who will give advice where necessary.
