The practical moped riding test (which does not include the high-speed requirements) will also be carried out in two modules.
Those candidates who have passed Module 1 will receive a Test Pass Certificate which they must bring with them when they take Module 2.

On the day of the Module 1 test, candidates will be asked by the examiner to demonstrate their riding ability on either the left-hand or right-hand circuit.
Please note that the standard off-road layout may change due to local conditions on the casual sites.Those candidates who have demonstrated riding skills of a dangerously incompetent level during Module 1 will not be permitted to take Module 2.
