I know I keep on blasting MCN and folk must be sick and tired of me by now, but once again the feckin comic only has half the info and is 4 months out of date.. !!
This was brought forward last October.
The BMF are lobbying against it as are various road safety organisations...
If implemented it could well mean the demise of most small motorcycle training outfits as the suggested extra test items would HAVE to be done off road, and the instructors could be held liable for any accidents which may result in such goings on.
Yes, there will be certain areas of the test altered, but so far those amendments are not written in stone. All is still open to a very vigerous debate...
As has recently been pointed out by some quite serious people.. The harder the test becomes ( both car and PTW ) the more new drivers/riders seem to think that once the test id passed they can ride/drive extremely well..
Whereas in reality, it is only once the driving/riding test has been passed that people start to LEARN how to control a vehicle..
