The test will involve going on the road. If you know the rules of the road, the test route is irrelevant.

i don't think it's completely irrelevant. if you know the route, you can become familiar with it. being familiar with the route is one less thing to have to worry about, imo.

Hmm, so you need to know the route to figure out how to make a right turn, change lanes, an emergency road side stop and go through an intersection?

Stop riding if you can't figure this out.

The same rules apply everywhere, the route doesn't matter. If you can only ride properly if you practice a particular circuit, then that's sad.

[Razorsythe]

got my m a few weeks ago. Just do what you generally do normally (unless you ride like a tool) and youll be fine.

A little piece of advice for you. Exaggerate your shoulder checks. Just to ensure that the examiner sees your head turn beyond what you might actually need to check for traffic.

I took the exit course at Sheridan. What I can remember:

Before performing ANYTHING they ask, always do a shoulder check. Shoulder check, action, end with another shoulder check.

If you are turning right, you are supposed to do a shoulder check behind you before you turn right even if it's a single lane.

Remember lane blocking positions, they will have you switch lanes on the highway. Same thing applies before changing lanes, check, change, check.

Keep your brake light lit when you're stopped

Remember after turning left to merge into the right lane as quickly as possible. I lost a point for not merging back over as quickly as possible.

They will purposely take you to areas where there are things you should be checking for risk, like schools, or playgrounds or hospitals. LOOK at them. Make sure it's obvious that you're noticing that stuff.

[Nite Rider]

They will ask you to pull an emergency stop. Before that i was asked to move to a passing lane. I lost a point on that because i was expected to move back to the driving lane automatically even without instructions. Never stay on the passing lane. Move your head a lot coming an intersection, look both ways exageratedly.

That's not what I said at all. You studied for tests in high school and college, why shouldn't this be treated in a similar fashion? After all, it is a test. What I said was it can't hurt to know the route.

And how much do you remember about what you learned in high school? Skills and memory are two very different things.
