If you have booked or intend on booking a CBT Course with us, please note the following important details which must be adhered to.

 

YOU MUST, ON EACH DAY OF YOUR COURSE (Legally & in the interests of Health & Safety):

 

ARRIVE ON TIME (DO NOT BE LATE)

• Arrive on time for the beginning of your course at the location shown in your booking confirmation at the meeting time stated (15 minutes before your course start time).

 

HAVE YOUR LICENCE

• Have a current and up to date full or provisional driving licence which is valid (not expired) with the correct provisional entitlements, without any bans, restrictions or disqualifications which would legally prevent you from attending your course. By booking a course, for yourself or another third party, you are self declaring that you have checked to ensure that you, or the participant you are booking on behalf of, has legally met these requirements.


• Bring your original UK Provisional or Full UK/EU photocard driving licence. (Driving Test Pass Certificates, photocopies, pictures or scan copies of your licence ARE NOT acceptable). If your photocard licence has expired, then please bring an original, current and valid UK passport as well as your original expired photocard driving licence. Please note that the picture on your driving licence MUST be a true likeness of you, whether it is valid or expired. If you have the old style paper driving licence, an original, current and valid UK passport is also required. If you have an EU licence, then you will need to bring your original & valid EU photocard driving licence with supporting D91 Form.


• Bring or know your National Insurance Number, in case we have to do an additional online licence check.

 

KNOW YOUR HIGHWAY CODE

• Have read the Highway Code, and demonstrate a good knowledge of this and all other UK road traffic procedures at all times.


• It is particularly important that you demonstrate a good knowledge of road signs and road markings as you may be required to take and pass a short multiple choice quiz to ensure that you have an understanding of this and other on road knowledge acquired from the Highway Code and other things taught to you in other Elements of your CBT Course. Failure to achieve a score of at least 70% in this quiz would result in your course being terminated at that stage, as you would not have demonstrated enough of a competent level of understanding to progress onto the road ride Element (Element E) of your CBT.


• Please see this link for popular road sings which we strongly suggest you familiarise yourself with, along with this link for a more detailed and comprehensive list of all road signs and road markings from the Highway Code.

 

BRING YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT

• Bring YOUR OWN equipment where possible. This includes helmet, gloves and appropriate riding attire. We can, if needed, lend you a helmet and gloves, but we accept no liability if you deem our equipment being loaned to you as unsuitable or not fitting. If you drop, loose or damage any borrowed equipment you will be liable to pay a minimum charge of £40 towards the cost of replacing such equipment. To avoid such issue please bring YOUR OWN equipment


• If you do require to borrow a helmet, and/or gloves, we would also encourage you to bring your own hat/balaclava and inner gloves which can be worn underneath for hygiene purposes.


• If you can, please bring your own ear piece/in-ear earphones which have/or are compatible with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Our instructors can supply this for you to borrow if you do not have your own, but these have to be shared amongst other pupils as well, and can only be cleaned with sanitising wipes, so bringing your own would not only be more comfortable, but will also be a lot more hygienic, and therefore safer, for both yourself and others.

 

WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING

• Wear appropriate clothing for riding a motorcycle that covers all areas of exposed skin (no ripped jeans, shorts or sandals, and you must have, as a minimum, a jacket, thick material full length trousers (such as jeans/workwear trousers) & sturdy footwear - trainers are a bare minimum and MUST HAVE laces which can be tied up to secure the trainer properly (slip on shoes/trainers WILL NOT be allowed).

DEMONSTRATE GOOD CONTROL & BALANCE

• Be able to demonstrate balance and control of the motorbike/scooter at all times. If any riders show a lack of balance or control, to a point that our instructor deems it dangerous to continue (such as continual harsh use of controls, or dropping/falling off the bike), then we must terminate your CBT at that stage. We understand and appreciate that you are here to learn, but if you cannot balance, or transfer our verbal instructions into a safe and practical demonstration of ability, then we cannot allow you to continue amid fear of you obtaining possible or further injury being sustained to yourself or any other third party.
