The final stage of the GLS is the licence assessment which consists of both an off-road and on-road assessment.

The assessor will be focusing on the riders ability to show safe riding techniques along with riding skills i.e-

Lane positioning (buffering)
Looking, slowing down and moving away from potential hazards (e.g. Vehicle waiting at give way or stop sign)
Ensuring safety before proceeding (e.g. checking for red light runners, motorcycles lane filtering etc.)
Speed (adjusting appropriately for various scenarios not just the speed limit) The assessment is one on one with the trainer and goes for approximately one hour.
