Hello guys, i was just wondering as i have passed my mod 1 DAS course last week ,, and got booked in for mod2 test for 300 pounds for 11-12 april 2 days, but i really wonder if i can book it for myself and save this money, as MOD 2 itself cost 85 pounds and i feel like i dont really need instructions on how to drive etc as i feel ready by driving 2 years on cbt, but the main question is, can i book it for myself and go there instead of doing it by motrorbike schooL? they charged me 300 for that and i feel like its unecessary, i preffer to fail 4 times (which wont be the case for sure) than pay them 300 pounds for 2 days. Is that guys possible? pls
1. You cannot ride a DAS level bike on the road legally without being accompanied by an instructor or examiner; how are you going to practise, get to and from the test etc?
2. Chances of passing without any further instruction are pretty slim, but hey, I'm sure you know better.
3. It's only £300.

Whilst you may have been riding for two years it doesn't automatically follow that your level of road riding will be what the examiner expects to see.
I started biking in the early 70s but never bothered taking my test - which was a mistake as all you did then was drive past the examiner as he stood on the road outside the test centre. Once out of sight going round the block you could do what you liked until you came back into his view again.
Finally got round to it years later after the introduction of CBT (passed) & a couple of hours training which got me up to test standard - basically 'ride like this to pass the test' including riding around the area the examiners favour so you had familiarity with some of the possible issues - before doing the test (pursuit type). Passed first go. Not a chance I'd have passed without. At that time it was pass & ride anything you like.
I suppose there's nothing stopping you doing it on your own, but where's the bike coming from, how are you going to get it insured without a licence & how do you intend to get it to the test centre ( and home again if you fail?)
Borrowing a mate's bike who can pillion you there & back would be a possible but the insurance is still going to be an issue.
