You will not be told at the time, but you will automatically fail if you don't look both ways before mounting the bike, hold the brake when you tip the bike upright, put the side stand up before getting on, turn the bike on on before you get on, adjust the mirrors (even if you still see properly with them), or take your hand off the front brake without stepping on the rear one. The same goes for dismounting when you're dismounting, just in reverse. It also helps to give your ride a nice little safety inspection before getting on (just so the proctor knows you're the incarnation of motorcycle safety).
