What are the techniques for the slalom test in the motorcycle license test (Part 2)?
2 Answers
Before starting the slalom test, it is necessary to relax both your mind and muscles, and naturally grip the motorcycle body with your legs. Find the correct entry angle by choosing the midpoint between the boundary line and the marker pole, enter in first gear, and maintain a semi-clutch state with proper throttle and clutch coordination. During the slalom test, when moving from the space between two poles to the next, pay attention to your position and the motorcycle's position to avoid touching the marker poles.
I just passed the motorcycle license test's Module 2, and what impressed me most during the slalom course was speed control and sight alignment. At first, I kept hitting the cones, but later learned to maintain a steady slow speed—ease off the throttle gently and avoid sudden braking to prevent tipping over. Keep your eyes fixed on the gaps between the cones ahead; don’t look down at the handlebars. Lean your body slightly into turns—left for left turns, right for right turns. Start smoothly from the beginning line, and brake gently when stopping to avoid overshooting the finish. I often practice by setting up cardboard boxes in an empty lot near home, slowly circling to improve balance. During the test, stay calm—take a deep breath before starting. Remember, the cones are spaced about 5 meters apart; going too fast leads to loss of control, so prioritize steady slowness. Practicing 30 minutes daily for a week or two will build confidence—don’t get discouraged!
