It’s all clean! For our last test of the year, Ian is deservedly all smiles for getting a clean sheet on his Mod 1 test. A great result for him, and a great end to the year for us. Well done to all the 1st Class Riders who have passed their tests this year, and let’s see more great smiles like Ian’s for next year.

Nearly… But not yet!! Don’t go throwing away your paper licence counterpart just yet. It seems that the planned changes, to abolish the Paper Counterpart Licence from January 2015 have been put on hold. So hang on to both parts, as until the new rules start your licence is incomplete if you bin your paper part now. Don’t get caught out.

A Tricky Junction. If you are due to take your Mod 2 test in Newport, then bear this junction in mind. It is used ocassionaly during the test route. You may find yourself approaching down the hill on the road coming in from the left, and be asked to turn right. A number of times candidates have misread the road markings and treat the centre island as a carriageway divider (with one way traffic on each side – which is not the case), and they find themselves positioned on the ‘wrong side’ of the road when they reach the give way lines. Take your time in areas you are not familiar with and have a good look at the road markings on the approach. I hope that helps.
