I just passed my road test today,and WOW what surreal experience ...
the test for my British Columbia (Canada) unrestricted class 6 was a full hour of being followed by an
instructor in a car,giving instructions\directions via 2-way radio.
anyway, needless to say i am ecstatic...i may not sleep tonight .
(now to take the safety course....)

i was wondering if any members had to retake the road test ?
i was told by the instructor that many good riders fail first attempt.
is this true?

 

Gonna move this to Off Topic since there's no specific question on how to ride in here

 

thank you.

 

Yeah mine was a beotch.

First time he wanted me to do a figure 8 in very little space. It was hard enough but it didn't help that at the time of the test I hadn't had the opportunity to get much seat time on my bike (I bought it in november and was at school the whole time while the bike was home).

The second time they help you out a lot and he made the figure 8 like twice as big

 

I passed my Riders test in 1969, I was a (double decker) bus conductor then, working out of Ryde depot. Knew the license guy at the motor registry from being on one of my routes. In those days all you did to get your license was multiple choice questionnaire, eye test & the road test, which was a quick ride around the block (no one went with you, they just waited for you to come back) Then a quick emergency brake & your away. I didn't even get that far, he just asked if I thought it was going to rain. I said yes & that was my license test.

 

I had to take the permit test twice, they changed the format from 5 questions to 25 questions and some of the wording was tricky. I never did take the ridden test, I just took the MSF course and the state waves the driven test if you pass..

 

Same with the MSF class. I don't think I actually ever had a M class permit before the actual class - but I could be wrong.

 

I took the MSF BRC twice. Passed the course the first time through and then the second time through as well.

 

i wasnt allowed to take the road test my first time because i didnt have stock signals. guy still took my money. havent gone back yet.

 

Took the Team Oregon MSF and passed so I automatically got my license.

I had heard that most people failed the written part, so i made sure that I read the handbook anytime I had a chance.

Out of twelve people, everyone passed the riding test, but 4 failed the written.
