Before you can take your full motorcycle test, you must have passed a motorcycle theory and hazard perception test.  These are usually taken near to where you live and the test should be quite easy to pass.  You will need to demonstrate an understanding of the up to date version of the Highway Code.  The Highway Code can usually be purchased locally or on-line.

However, practice is always recommended.  You can purchase various books or dvd’s to help you study for the test – but we recommend you practice the actual test on-line.  Full information and free practice can be found here.

You will need to arrive 20 minutes early for your Theory Test and remember to take your UK Photo-card Driving Licence with you.

Relax – you have plenty of time to sit the test. We wish you good luck!

Once you have passed the theory test you will be given a pass certificate which is valid for 2 years. Please look after this certificate as you will need to present it to your examiner on the day of your practical motorbike test.
