cheers i just wanted to check so half a day traing on useing the gears should be enough
does anyone listen to anything instructors tell them or do instructors tell them in the first place? its a puzzler!
I think we need a CBT FACTS even though its part of the cbt syllabus to explain this anyway.
( okay cheeky bit of editing here but read the responses of all those that didnt bother to read that i was suggesting we have a CBT FACTS bit. Personally i think it was quite plain but obviously not. So to avoid being embroiled in arguements over crap and bullshit basically read this first post and notice what i have said. if YOU think a cbt facts page is necessary then avoid slating me and ask the members to provide one. edited by ZOMB!E 12-09-06 2313)

Hi Zombie, if it is your first day on a bike there is so much to do, it is impossible to remember everything the cbt instructor tells you. This is especially true if it is the first time you have been on the road (ie not a car driver) and need to learn roadcraft as well - so I wouldn't blame the instructor or rider just an overful brain.
aye Zomb, despite the fact that its explained in module "A" then again as the DL196 is handed into their hot sweaty grasping hand, there is a lot to take in on the day.
i doubt if many could cite BS6658 type A or B or remember BS4110.
as long as they have an idea of what to look for in a helmet(or can come in here & ask a sad bastard like me or you what it all means).

I dont quite get it mate.....isnt it better that if someone aint sure on something that they ask on here other than drop themselfs in the sticky stuff by just going for it anyway?
funny isnt it? i think it is.
ok then pick fault with me and what i said and assume im cruel or whatever because i expect people to listen. next time i do a cbt ill just skim over the legal issues because i have to expect people to not listen or to not remember. So when your siteen year old son or daughter buys a 600cc sportsbike and swears blind that it is ok to ride it on acbt not a single one of you will come to me as their instructor and say i didnt explain it properly? of course not, youll be happy that your child hasnt listened. lets absolve everyone of all responsibillity.
Chilli, youre right mate. it is better if someone isnt sure for them to ask. but it=s it not better for them to listen in the first place?

Sure its better if they listen in the 1st place mate...but its not a perfect world out there...so allowancies have to be made at times mate...but thats not a line for you to do your mountain out of a molehill speach
Feck me i did say that maybe we NEED A CBT FACTS page so that will know where to look for info.
OK we dont need a cbt facts page. happy now?
oh for petes sake zombie......sometimes you just need to grow up
maybe i do maybe i will. youre right chilli, ive had my time. Im taking it all too seriously lately.
But it is a bit serious isnt it really?

yes it is.....
OK, I agree with you we should listen and learn, but sometimes it is just too much info at one go.
Maybe the 'facts' should be printed on the back of your cbt certificate so you can revise them when needed - then there is no excuse for getting it wrong
Its not just at cbt's when info sometimes goes over your head. For example, I have been to the doctors and they have changed my prescription; I have come out, walked to the chemist, and then wondered which tablets should I take in the morning and which at night - I know the doc told me, and I was listening honest - but the details got lost in all the other things he told me.

To be honest, a one day cbt isnt long enough, especially if the pupil involved has no road experience.
It can be alot to take in, but also you will get people that just wont listen.

I agree with zombie that it would be good to have a CBT facts page. I know I would read it.
The first question i asked after i learned that i passed my CBT was 'Am i allowed to drive a geared bike?'
The word is 'yes'
Rob
