A new 2-part modular motorcycle test was introduced. It enabled the UK to comply with the EU Second Directive requiring new and more demanding manoeuvres to be tested:
Module 1 contained the specified manoeuvres element of the test which was conducted off-road. It included exercises designed to assess the rider’s ability to control their machine safely, including avoidance and emergency stop exercises
Module 2 included an eyesight test and 30 minutes of on-road riding, assessing the rider’s ability to safely interact with other road users.
