Just took my module 1 motorcycle test. I have been riding in the US since I was 18 (now 29) and moved over to briten a couple of years ago and been riding loads over here but my international liscence is about to expire and had to take a british test. I have now taken 3 old style tests with no result and done the new test 1st module and was failed for being 1KPH under the required speed for the emergency stop and the object avoidance. Which is actually over the national speed limit for surface roads where you would likley encounter Objects that you would need to avoid.
Anybody else had similar problems?
For you that are not familiar with UK laws you can drive for a year on a US liscence but then must take a test unless you leave the UK for a period of 28 or more days a year based on residency.
The UK seems to deem you unfit to ride after you have been here a year and I am tired of lining the pockets of the DVLA because they will not convert my US liscence.
Sorry for the rant but am really steamed as I have spent £1200 on traning and tests.
