Booking Test Soon

[Nico]

Hi everyone,

Been using my bike all of the time (Varadero) and i'm going to book my test soon. Just got a couple of questions as its 4 years since I failed my test before.

* When at traffic lights do you have to do a left and right shoulder check before setting off when its green?

* Can you blip the throttle when changing down? The bike goes into gear easier when I do this, but I don't want to be marked down if you are not supposed to do it.

Thanks

Nico

When at traffic lights do you have to do a left and right shoulder check before setting off when its green?

i was taught that if you come to a complete stop then ,its a left and right check, if the light changes as you approach then only do a right shoulder check and accelerate away

Can you blip the throttle when changing down? The bike goes into gear easier when I do this, but I don't want to be marked down if you are not supposed to do it.

you shouldnt be marked down for blipping the throttle. i did it in my test. i doubt the examiner noticed i did it
