Gas up - Let's Go! Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 the bloke and he said i can only do a A2 test Just looking through the DVLA website and no mention of an A2 test anywhere! You should be able to do the A test and you are restricted for, er well it's not very clear. It say's 21 but I always though it was for 2 years. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Drive...ions/DG_4022547 is where you'll find more info, I'm sure someone will be along soon who can answer this fully. Don't we have any instructors on ths forum ??? they should be able to help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Goff Posted October 6, 2008 Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2008 Lets see if yer Auntie Goff can help: A1 Light Motorcycle Complete CBT and motorcycle theory test. Take training and motorcycle test on a machine greater than 75cc but not exceeding 120cc (unless it is a 125cc machine and does not have adequate power to qualify for the A2 licence). On passing your test you can ride up to a 125cc without L-Plates and carry a passenger. A2 Restricted Licence You must be aged 17 or over. First pass the CBT and motorcycle theory test. Taking your training on a 121cc – 125cc bike with at least 12 bhp. When you pass your test, you will be able to ride a bike of any cc, as long as it is restricted to a 33bhp. Motorcycles that are normally over 33bhp can be restricted, but you will be required to have a certificate of restriction. You can ride this without L-plates and carry passengers. This restriction is for 2 years, after this time you are automatically able to ride anything you want! This is the only bike licence option available to those aged 17-20. Accelerated Access This is available to anyone who has taken either an Automatic licence, an A1 Light motorcycle licence or an A2 Restricted licence. You must be over 21. There is no need to retake either the CBT or the motorcycle theory test. The motorcycle test must be taken on a machine in excess of 47 bhp. The outcome will be that you then hold a full motorcycle licence. Full Unrestricted Category A Licence (Direct Access Scheme) You must be aged 21 or over to be eligible for this. Complete a CBT & motorcycle theory test. Then take a motorcycle test on a bike with a power output of 47bhp or more. On passing your test, you will have a full unrestricted licence. Your road training will be taken on a large bike with L-Plates. You can only ride a large bike when accompanied by an authorised Direct Access Scheme Instructor. Please note that this information is only a guide. The laws are remarkably complicated even for those that actually made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
