What Happens in a CBT Test?
Although referred to as a test, a CBT is just a training course that lasts one day. During your CBT test near Crosby, you will be taught all you need to know to learn to ride a 50cc scooter or 125cc motorbike.
The day will start with a welcome and introduction from your instructor, they will then ask you to complete an eyesight check to ensure your vision is good enough to safely be on the roads.
if you cannot read a registration plate from 20.5 metres (with glasses if needs be) your training will be terminated.
The fun part of your training then begins, starting with a demonstration of how a motorbike works. Your instructor will explain what all the controls do as well as how to maintain a bike and how to complete the necessary safety checks before you set off for each ride.
You’ll be given time to try out everything you’ve been taught so far before then being shown how to control the bike during maneuvers.
You will get lots of time to practice at the training ground until you feel confident.
Next up is learning how to ride alongside other road users. You will be shown diagrams and your instructor will explain how The Highway Code works as a motorcyclist.
You will however need to know and understand The Highway Code before you attend your CBT test.
The last part of the day is a 2 hour road ride where you will need to show your instructor you have learnt how to ride and control and bike on the roads safely.
They will ride behind you and observe your riding, telling you directions through an earpiece.
