The biggest difference is that there is an additional "compulsory test". Brothers and sisters who are new to motorcycles and intend to learn to drive may have many questions.

Friends who are interested in learning to drive remember to continue to read carefully.

You have to pass three tests for the two-roller license plate test. If you don’t have a license plate, you must first take the written test

Let me first talk about the process of testing motorcycle licenses in Hong Kong. If you do not have a driver's license for any type of vehicle, you need to pass three tests, namely the written test, compulsory test and road test. If you already have a private license plate, you don't need to take the written test.

The written test (Part A test) assesses the content of the "Road Users' Code", which mainly involves the correct way to use the road and relevant laws, as well as the language commonly used on the road, including traffic signs, light signals and hand gestures. The test will be conducted by computer at the Driving Test Appointment Office of the Transport Department in the Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices. Candidates are required to answer 20 multiple-choice questions from three choices within 20 minutes, and they will pass if they answer 16 or more questions correctly.

Compulsory test must be registered by the driving school and must attend ABC class to learn driving

After passing the written test, you can schedule to apply for the mandatory test (Part B test), which means that the journey of learning to drive has officially begun. The government stipulates that before taking the mandatory test, one must enroll in a "mandatory training course" at a designated driving school in order to master the basic handling skills of motorcycles. At present, only the Hong Kong Driving School and the New Kwun Tong Driving School (both under the Hong Kong Driving School) are designated driving schools, which means that the mandatory test must be registered by the driving school. At present, the mandatory training courses in the driving academy are generally divided into three sessions, each of which is four hours long, which is commonly known as "ABC class". The class will be held within the scope of the driving school. During the period, you will learn the skills of driving, parking, turning, turning, emergency braking, pushing the cart and other skills of the motorcycle to cope with the compulsory test.

The mandatory test is also conducted within the designated area of ​​the driving academy, and generally no more than 7 people will take the test at the same time. Candidates have to take four tests one by one in the examination room, and the examiner will sit in the command room outside the test room for evaluation, and communicate with candidates through the microphone in the command room when necessary.

The first test is to start by driving on the periphery of the examination room and drive to the parking lot in the middle to stop. Afterwards, candidates should start from the central parking place, turn left along the route, and return to the starting point to park; then turn right in the same way. If you are driving a wave car, you must ride two waves during the circle. The last test is emergency braking. Candidates have to go around in the direction indicated by the examiner, increase the speed of the vehicle to 23 kilometers per hour or above before returning to the central parking place, trigger the sensor to light up the red light, and then drive the car before turning. The vehicle stops. If the red light is not on, the candidate should continue to drive and make another circle, and accelerate again at the same location to make the red light on. The entire emergency braking test must be completed within three laps. After the vehicle stops, candidates can turn off the engine and get out of the vehicle, and push the vehicle outside the examination room to complete the entire mandatory test.

Common pitfalls in mandatory trials: right foot drop, lack of acceleration

The compulsory test does not seem difficult, but candidates generally encounter several types of problems. First of all, the most serious thing is that after completing the three courses, even the basic driving and parking skills have not been mastered. Therefore, candidates should complete the courses as soon as possible and reserve enough time for make-up lessons and driving practice. The second difficulty is the "golden right foot". During the driving test, candidates can only land with their left foot from the start until they get off the car. If they fail to master the balance skills, they may use their "golden right foot" due to imbalance, resulting in a "fat guy". The third difficulty is the emergency braking test. Candidates fail to increase the speed in time to make the red light come on. This point requires candidates to practice repeatedly and strengthen their confidence in the acceleration of twisting oil. The last thing is to push the cart out of the test room. The weight of the car over 100 kilograms is not light for many candidates, especially the senior sisters. Therefore, pushing the cart also requires practice to ensure that you can push the car out of the test room by yourself without falling down.

Those who pass the compulsory test can get a school card and can practice on the road by themselves

After passing the mandatory test, the candidate can obtain a learner's driver's license and schedule to apply for the road test (Part C test). Different from a private car, when driving a motorcycle, the driver cannot accompany him or even control the vehicle on his behalf. Therefore, the compulsory test is used to confirm that the candidate has the ability to control the vehicle by himself. After the license is issued, the candidate can leave the driving school , Drive and practice on the designated time and non-study-prohibited road sections by yourself to gain road experience. Of course, most candidates will still learn to drive from a master to prepare for the test, especially to learn the skills of typing horoscopes in the road test. Genuine friends can help guide, or even completely self-study. The so-called "master" does not need to be licensed by the Transport Department like other types of vehicles. Your car friends can become your "master" to guide you.

The motorcycle road test will be conducted on real roads just like the private car road test. The driving school candidates will take the test in Sha Tin, Yuen Long or Ap Lei Chau designated routes depending on the registered branch school. Tin Kwong Road or So Kon Po Examination. In addition to driving around the designated route, you also need to take the test of "beating horoscopes on an inclined road". At the same time, if you pass the road test, you will finally complete your learning journey and get a probationary driving license (P plate)!

How to sign up for driving lessons? How to prepare before class?

How do I register if I want to learn to drive? If you want to apply for the entire test through the driving academy, you only need to go to the branch school or office of the driving academy to register, and the whole process will be handled by the driving academy. If you want to apply for the test by yourself, you must first go to the Transport Department to take the written test, and then bring the certificate to the driving school to apply for the mandatory course and schedule the mandatory test, and then go to the Transport Department to schedule the road test after passing the test.

Learning to drive for the first time can be somewhat stressful. What can I do to prepare beforehand? In terms of knowledge, brothers and sisters can watch relevant articles and videos on the Internet in advance to understand the structure and control methods of motorcycles, and establish a preliminary understanding of this machine. Our blog has a lot of articles for novices, you can spend some time reading them, and you will get twice the result with half the effort in class.

As for equipment, the driving academy stipulates that learners must wear long trousers to protect their feet, as well as helmets, elbow pads, knee pads and gloves. The driving school will provide these supplies for students to borrow, but after repeated use by batches of students in hot weather, even after cleaning, the smell of hair oil and sweat absorbed is still "fragrant". It is suggested that the brothers and sisters who learn to drive should treat themselves better and buy a set of equipment for their own use, which is both fit and hygienic.
