DAS from: £139

Hazard Avoidance Test Videos

The video is supplied by In-Gear with actual students, neither of whom had ever ridden prior to signing up for their CBT and Direct Access courses.

Once CBT was completed, the students were taught the skills to ride the elements of the Direct Access Module 1 test including the Hazard Avoidance Exercise, sometimes called the Swerve test. They had a couple of extra days each on big bikes including some road riding.

They are now ready for their Direct Access Module 1 tests. The clips show the hazard avoidance being ridden at the required standard to pass. The layout of the exercise matches exactly the course at the test centre.

Neither student had ever ridden a bike before. We hope this helps new riders' confidence and gives an understanding of what is required to pass.

Advanced Rider Courses
The Art of Riding course is a totally innovative course which incorporates existing methods of riding, but carried out in full, it hands over complete control of the machine and the road to its rider.
The course itself starts with a helpful and friendly assessment of the riders skills and the the coaching thereafter is pitched at the level of riders stage of development.
Advanced Courses from: £149

Paul is available in either the Bridgend or Cwmbran stores, here you can discuss your requirements.  Alternatively you can call him on 01275 375111 or drop him an email at paul@in-gear.co.uk.
