ALTERNATE MOST INSTRUCTIONS

This test consists of seven exercises that measure your ability to perform basic vehicle-control and hazard response skills. Most of the exercises involve speeds of about 12 mph. You will be scored on time and distance standards, as well as path and foot-down violations. The test may be ended for point accumulation, falling or dropping the motorcycle, committing an unsafe act, or failure to understand or follow instructions. You may stop the test at any time. However, you must complete the entire test to pass it. Do you have any questions? (Point out paths of travel as you read instructions.)
