For what you are paying, Steve, you had better pass. Can you imagine the flak he would get if only 75% passed after paying over $500.00? I would be pretty upset because if that portion didn't pass, it would mean the instruction, the instructor or both were inadequate. I would demand my money back or another free test and if I used my CC card to pay, I would go after them for a refund if he didn't come through.LOL I should be able to pass just fine. From what i am seeing here from what the instructor sent me. Its pretty idiot proof. Unless you like fall off on the final test or don't listen to the instructor. Like 98% of people pass. The instructors really want you to pass and as long as you just follow their instruction you should be fine. Plus they let you play around on them for a bit, so you can get the bike that will make the test that much easier and you get time to like get used to shifting gears.
Yup like you get what you paid for. They would probably give you a discount if you did it again though, like with any road test. 565+180 for a hotel room for 2 nights+ food for 2 days. So like the test itself isn't even the main amount for me. From where i live though there is probably a lot of people from out of town cuz its still kinda the middle of nowhere. There are probably a few people who don't pass but they are probably old Indian or Pakistani men who get upset when the instructor is paying more attention to them then the rest of the class, cuz they need extra help.For what you are paying, Steve, you had better pass.

Under 5mph (8kph) you are in real danger of dropping the bike when you are turning.In my state, Georgia, in the United States, you automatically Georgia, in the United States, you automatically flunk the test if you drop the bike.
Having the bike tip over and hit the pavement is surprisingly easy if you are in a very tight low-speed turn AND you use too much brake, stopping or nearly stopping the bike.
Putting a foot down, fast, can save it from the fall, only costing you a few points off. You can still pass. But if your leg isn't strong enough, or if the bike's Still moving forward and as your leg hits the pavement it get a swept backwards.... you could drop the bike.
It's Easy to drip it during this test which is much harder then real life riding on the streets and doing "normal" right and left turns onto side roads, and low-speed turns into driveways and business' parking lots.
