hello, today i passed my cbt. i am 16 and i found it pretty simple. all you really have to do is watch loads of videos about cbt, research the highway code and road rules. while doing the cbt, i found that the road ride was the easiest part. when youre doing cbt, i recommend listening to the instructor and making sure you fully understand what you have to do, even if it means you have to ask for clarification.

@joseph vidal, a good school will provide gear if asked. Motorcycle gear is a big cost and if you want to be comfortable, don't buy cheap. Because of this, it is better not to buy gear until you have had a go at the CBT. As some instructors have said, a few people will decide it's not for them. Also you don't know what kind of rider you will be until you try it. I'm quite small so as a complete beginner, scooters suit me best to learn on. Sports gear would not be so comfortable on a scooter or cruiser. I also felt very claustrophobic with a full face helmet but am much happier with an open face. Try not to spend on gear until you've tried it 😊

I have always felt that a part of your post-car test should be to complete a CBT course, to allow drivers to experience how it is on a bike on the road. If doing it makes more people choose to do their DAS, then even more of a bonus for the motorcycle community (and road safety in general)

Those with genuine mobility issues must attend a classroom-based training course similar to what is offered for those caught speeding, to learn how it is for a motorcyclist, and the implications that their failure to look further for bikers can cause. I know from people who have had to attend the speed awareness course, how seeing & hearing the graphic details of what their overspeeding can do has made them ease off, so no reason people seeing what not consciously looking out for bikers can do too!

When I did my CBT I had zero experience riding anything motor powered and I was bricking it, as they say. But it wasn't at all that bad. Rode around slowly in a circle around the training area to get my balance and throttle learning down, then we did some going the other way, I found my 'right' turns were harder than my left, I'm not sure why. Then we did some slow figure eights which I found was the hardest part, and then we did emergency stop practice. Once the instructor was happy that I had control of balance, throttle and brakes, and some VERY basic knowledge of the roads (traffic lights, roundabouts, right of way etc) we had lunch and then went out on a nice long slow road ride. During the road ride I turned left at a junction a bit too sharply and ended up toppling the scooter over, but even that wasn't enough to "Fail" me, and I got my CBT certificate. As long as you can keep your balance, especially at slow speeds, manage the throttle, brakes and indicators, then you're fine. It genuinely is just VERY basic training just to make sure you can control your ride and you'll be safe out on the roads on your own. However, it is also true that it isn't for everyone, one of the lads doing the CBT with me just couldn't control his scooter while turning, so sadly he didn't get to go out on the road and get his CBT that day. If you're completely new to it like I was then you WILL be nervous, you WILL probably be shaking, and you WILL get things wrong, but the instructors are amazing and won't judge you, relax, go at your own pace, and you will get more confidence as the day progresses.

I feel the need to add this here, as a qualified DAS instructor, ans having run countless CBTs. The difficulty of a CBT all comes down to the INDIVIDUAL. Some people find it incredibly difficult to manage the machine, and learn the road and multiple returns are needed for them to reach the required standard, others breeze through. One of the most challenging things to handle in this industry as an instructor is the misconception that the CBT is easy. And as instructors yourselves I'd like to think you'll have encountered this problem/attitude over the years. Best not to add to that perception as it can cause great stress and difficulty both for riding schools and the pupils themselves.

I see now I was an accident waiting to happen, and pure luck had let me ride without incident. The course is great at giving you safety tips to help you live longer.

It’s irresponsible to say that it is easy to pass your CBT. Some students who have never ridden a motorcycle may struggle with the basic machine control especially on a geared motorcycle. If the instructor feels that the student is not safe to ride on the road. Then the student will be required to spend more time in the safe environment of the training area. A CBT certificate will not be issued to students who can’t meet the minimum safe standards.

Don't agree with the 2 year expiration. If I take a CBT and pass and I just keep riding I've essentially got 2 years on road experience. So taking someone through all the basics again for a day is a completely waste of time and money. If logic is that this is a refresher then people who have a car licence or an A1,A2 or A licence should have to resit their licence if the argument is to refresh knowledge. Otherwise this is just a money making scheme. CBT should be once and you keep L plates on for 6 months and can remove them after. Putting people in an infinite loop is just ridiculous especially when you have the same bike access as an A1 licence and they don't have to resit. I was mildly curious about riding a bike but the whole process is just very unappealing and more convoluted than a car licence. This process will essentially cause motorcycles to lose ground to e-bikes which require nothing.

The CBT is NOT a test it's a one day course to teach you some basics before venturing out on public roads and not cause any problems to yourself or others. It won't make you an expert that will take time and actual experience and,hopefully, the CBT will make you aware of the potential dangers to motorcyclists. Even if you are a car driver you may be aware of road rules etc BUT a motorcycle brings it's own dangers if you are not aware of them hence the CBT for a large part is about riding safely and being aware of the dangers. If you are a cyclist it will help with balance etc. You can ride a small automatic or a geared motorcycle for the CBT so possibly an auto may help you if you have no real intention of going the whole big bike route eventually. The CBT is not about the type of bike it's all about safety.

@Bennetts BikeSocial It is often unhelpful when people refer to CBT as pass or fail, a test and expect it to be a one day course. I am pleased your video says that it isn't a test. As others have said, it also takes as long as it takes to complete, instructors are supposed to train to the individual, what the DVSA calls Client Centred Learning. It can often be difficult with up to 4 riders of differing abilities on a course, but, with everyone being individual an individual approach is helpful. Also keen to stress CBT is basic, and there is so much a biker needs to know that isn't and cant sensibly be covered on a CBT. Further training is important for safety and extra knowledge.

My advice having done a few CBT’s over the years, is take it seriously. Spend a bit of time before hand brushing up on the Highway Code, it never does any harm to be able to answer a few road sign questions confidently. Listen to the instructor and give him a bit of respect, he knows more than you do. Above all do your best and try not to stress over mistakes. I’ve actually tipped over bikes in two CBT’s but still passed as I listened to what I had done wrong and put it right. It’s not a test, it’s just an opportunity to show your maturity.

When I was a lad you just bought a bike, drove round for a bit and took your test. Seems very complicated now and not sure it stops youngsters riding like idiots.

its not a test its training the lad i was doing mine with fell off it they still passed him. i lost my trainer as well during the practical it was rush hour traffic both of us driving around town in circles trying to find each other i just rided back to the training centre i was thinking hes going to be angry he respected my confidence and how i handled the situation going through rush hour traffic on my own when many others would have panicked and not been able to drive it back

As a 20+ year car driver I found it was unnatural to ‘ride the clutch’ as a motorcycle requires. I also felt my CBT and DAS instructors didn’t emphasise that aspect enough. Friction zone was talked about but I would spend a long time focusing on that and giving enough revs. It wasn’t taught well on my CBT.

I did mine yesterday: Bit of a learning curve at the start getting the slow speed clutch control figured out since the logic and feeling behind it is different to a car. Had a few nerves on the road but after a chat with the instructor it went brilliantly the rest of the way and got my clutch control to a much better level, so I passed

@bennettsbikesocial
4 ай бұрын
The simple answer is yes, unfortunately. Your CBT trainer needs to be confident that you have learned the basics well enough to be safe on the road riding in amongst other traffic. The safety checks seem like hard work at first but they soon become second nature and are essential to staying safe on busy roads while riding a small capacity bike. Be positive, it's all good experience - chances are you'll fly through it next time.
@korbun6726

if you’re not attempting to keep yourself safe by using safety checks then what would you expect? they’re not gonna allow someone to pass without the necessary safety precautions while riding. just keep on trying and you’ll get it eventually. good luck!

@callum failed spectacularly. Well not entirely. I tried to do a manual bike with only a few weeks riding experience and a few sessions on a manual. It's really not a hard test but manual was a bit overwhelming. Slow speed control is essential. Know how to do figure 8s comfortably and stop comfortably. I drive a manual so I thought it'd be easy to adjust to a manual bike. In slow control its really not too easy. The instructor said if it was automatic I definitely would've passed. Key tip... it doesn't matter if you want to do auto or manual, you still get the same cbt. Take auto if you can and then learn the basics of manual. My ego was a little too big and it cost me 180 eeesh lol. You'll be fine. Do auto. Slow control practice. And just be confident.

Hi Vince. With a CBT you can ride a bike up to 125cc with or without gears. Personally I'd recommend learning on a geared bike - then the scooters are super simple if you go that route. Don't forget you'll need to display L plates. And the CBT only lasts for 2 years before you have to renew or progress to a bigger bike licence.

@@Vince_vanca Indeed, if you want to ride a geared bike then learn on a geared bike when doing your CBT. The instructors will ask these questions to make sure the sessions are relevant and give you the guidance needed. And correct, after 2 years you will need to renew - or go "full licence" before it runs out.
