This lesson will be the last lesson before your final assessment. In this lesson you will be going to familiarise yourself with the test route and also you will be doing a U-turn.
For BBDC the test route is pretty simple. At the exit of BBDC, you will turn left. Lane change to the left into the filter lane at the junction. Make sure you do all the necessary checks. After exiting the filter lane, you will lane change all the way to the extreme right lane.
Ensure you are at the extreme right lane before you reach the traffic light. After the traffic light will be where you make your U-turn. During the lesson the instructor will explain where to wait if there is someone making the U-turn.
When it is your turn to make the U-turn, position your bike perpendicular to the road divider and push your body forward while engaging the front brakes to check for oncoming vehicles. If it is clear, check your blind spot and move off slowly into the extreme right lane. Keep the bike stable. At the traffic light, turn right. Be sure that you understand how the traffic light works as there will be a right arrow that will appear after the red light. You can turn right when you see this green light arrow. Also understand that you can turn right at the green light if there are no oncoming vehicles you don't have to wait for the green light arrow. When turning right be sure to check for oncoming cars that may appear from the filter lane on your left. From this road you will just go all the way straight until you reach the T-junction. There are a few side roads so be mindful of them. At the T-junction you will make a left turn and turn in to BBDC.
During this lesson however, you will keep going through the test route until the lesson ends so only at the last round will you be entering BBDC. It is important to show the instructors you are able to complete the U-turn without any problems by the end of the lesson as I was pretty bad at the U-turn during my first 2 rounds. I managed to get the hang of it and complete it smoothly by the end of the lesson.
I managed to pass this lesson on my first try, 28/07/16.
