What are the techniques for the slalom test in the motorcycle license test (Part 2)?

[DerekMarie]

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!

As a seasoned motorcycle rider, slalom skills are all about practice makes perfect in my view. Speed control is key—apply just enough throttle to keep the bike idling forward without pedaling, relying solely on hand control. When turning, look ahead to spot the next cone early, and let your body follow with a slight lean—don't stiffen up trying to balance. Start smoothly without jerking, and stop decisively in one motion. I recommend drilling the basics: set up markers in an open area to simulate the course and repeat until muscle memory kicks in. Stay mentally relaxed—tension leads to mistakes. Though the cones are closely spaced, precision matters. Plus, with the test area being flat, ensure tire pressure isn't too low, as it severely impacts steering control. These details helped me pass on my first try.

Slalom driving is, in simple terms, about being slow and precise. When I was learning to drive, my instructor emphasized speed control, keeping the throttle steady without sudden acceleration, and braking gently. Always look ahead to find the gaps between the cones, and lean your body with the turns—shift your weight to the left when turning left. Start and stop smoothly without hesitation. With more practice, it will become second nature.

The core skills for the motorcycle slalom test are balance and control. When I first took the test, I was most afraid of instability, but later I realized the key is to maintain a steady speed, gently press the throttle without heavy braking, and look ahead instead of focusing on the immediate surroundings. Lean your body slightly to match the turning direction, start carefully without rushing, and stop with a single step of braking. Practice more in an open space to reduce the risk of mistakes. Remember, safety comes first, and the small spacing between the cones requires full concentration.
