I had to go through a lot of uncontrolled intersections. Watch your timing on the lights

They look for riding with care and attention. Good lane discipline, lots of shoulder checking timely use of signals and brakes. Smooth gear changes and controlled use of the right hand. Be careful dress correctly good luck .

If you have someone to ride with, do so as much as you can between now and then. Preferrably in the area where you will take the test, as you'll be more used to your surroundings. If you don't have anyone to ride with, drive the area, looking for signage, and getting the feel of the area, so you're not surprised by anything.

Don't be nervous. Cancel turn signals after you turn. Have your eyes out for ALL signage (school zone....know hours of operation and speed), speed changes, etc. Do not get too close to the stop line in the road, and do NOT touch it with your front wheel. Practice starting on a hill. Look where you want to go. (if you look at what you don't want to crash into, you'll crash into it....if you get squirrely, just focus where you WANT to go, and your head/eyes/body will lead you there)

Make sure lights/horn/brake light are fully functional, or they'll cancel your test as your vehicle won't be deemed road-worthy.

Good luck!

Was a few uncontrolled intersections, a hill stop and start. Everything else was normal riding and following traffic rules..

Tip for signals always double push to cancel, helps me ensure im not cruising with a blinker on.

Also maybe some one else can chime in but I seem to remember Only one foot on the ground at any time, for stops and such. If you ever drop both legs its considered you do not have control of the motorcycle.

I think you may be right. I don't have time to check right now.

Only left foot down, and keep right foot on brake.
