Element B introduces you to the machine and its controls and includes:

• Using the motorcycle stands to safely park your bike
• Familiarity with the different motorcycle or scooter controls
• Wheel the bike round to the left and right
• Starting and stopping the engine
• Carrying out basic maintenance checks

Element C is the main part of the course and takes place on an approved training site (CBT pad). This is when you will learn to:

• Pull away, stop, start and change gears (where applicable)
• Ride in a straight line
• Ride in a slow and controlled manner
• Change gears
• Use both brakes
• Ride a figure of eight
• Carry out left, right and U-turns
• Carry out emergency braking
• Ride round bends safely
• Carry out rear observation

Element D is a return to the class room prior to going out on the road. You will get a full briefing explaining:

• The use of speed, road positioning, safe driving distances
• The importance of the Highway Code
• Your visibility on the road
• Using rear observation
• Riding at the correct speeds, road positioning and distance between other vehicles according to traffic and road conditions.
• Learning to anticipate danger and riding defensively
• Care will also be given in explaining about the radios and how not to get lost on the road

Element E is where you put all the above into practise by riding on the road. You will go out on the road with an instructor two at a time with a radio link. You must do at least two hours of road tuition, which must include doing a U-turn and emergency stop. At the outset the instructor will give plenty of guidance and help, but towards the end of the time on the road the instructor will be looking to see if you can get safely from one place to another without hurting yourself or anybody else.

Why was Compulstory Basic Training introduced?

The reason that the government has brought in CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) tests in December 1990 was that it wanted to ensure that, before taking to the roads, people of all ages had at least a basic understanding regarding being in control of two-wheeled machines. The knock-on effect of this was to try and reduce the number of collisions involving motorcycles and mopeds. On completion of the evaluation, you shall receive on the day your pass certificate, also known as a DL196.
