Note A:

 

A blind spot check shall be made just before  changing direction. Should the applicant have steered to the left before stopping, it is unnecessary to check the blind spot again after moving off. The observation for moving off shall be sufficient.

 

Note B:

 

Position the motorcycle at all times in such a way that you discourage other road-users from sharing the lane with you.

 

Note C:

 

Should it happen that the applicant touches a boundary line for this manoeuvre with one of his/her feet after moving off, he/she shall be penalised for "Balance", and not for "T. Line".

 

Note D:

 

Should the motorcycle roll, a circle shall be drawn around the black block "Roll" and the test shall be discontinued.
