10 Tips For Biking Beginners

By Philip Youngwood

Take Compulsory Basic Training (CBT). As the name indicates, CBT is compulsory before driving on the road. The training usually lasts between 6 and 8 hours. After this you can legally learn on the road.

Get a licence. If you dont already have one with provisional motorcycle entitlement then you need to get a D1 form along with a D750 form from any Post Office. You can also obtain this by ringing the DVLA on 0870 240 0009.

Get motorcycle insurance. You must be insured to legally ride your bike. There are various levels of motorcycle insurance cover including third party, third party fire and theft, and fully comprehensive. Its a good idea to keep your insurance documents with you when you ride.

Practice. There are a number of pre-test training options which can help you get some valuable riding experience before your test. You could also train on the Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS) which may make you eligible for insurance discounts.

Read the Highway Code. This is the official, Government released guide on how to use roads properly to help reduce accidents and make UK roads a safer place. There is a specific motorbike version which makes important reading.

Pass the Practical motorbike Test. There are two components to the practical; module 1 and module 2. Module 1 takes around 20 minutes and you must pass this to go onto module 2, which takes around 1 hour. The test consists of eye tests, road safety questions and road riding skill testing such as stops and hill starts.
