Pass a hazard perception test (not required if you already have a driver licence)

Complete a Check Ride and this has to be done at least 1 month before your assessment
- Complete your motorcycle licence assessment
Make sure you also bring protective clothing to your assessment including; a long sleeved shirt and pants, closed in footwear (boots or runners), protective eyewear e.g sunglasses, wet weather riding gear, an approved high visibility vest and approved motorcycle helmet.
