The New Practical Motorcycle Test
The new practical motorcycle test will be introduced in October 2008, to comply with new regulations from Europe. The reason behind the legislation is that motorbike and moped riders are one of the most at risk groups of road users in terms of death or injury.
The new motorcycle test will involve more demanding special manoeuvres.
Two manoeuvres at slow speed including slalom
Two manoeuvres at higher speed, one of which in 2nd or 3rd gear at 30km/h or more and one at 50km/h avoiding an obsatacle
Two braking exercises including emergency stop at 50km/h or more.

The high speed and other exercises will be tested off-road and will take about eight minutes.
This will be followed by the on-road part of the test, but those who have been dangerously incompetent in the off-road section will NOT be allowed to continue.
To deliver this test, their will be 65 new test centres throughout the UK. Some of these will be at 'multi-purpose' test centres for cars and motorcycles.
The new bike test is coming in October 2008.
