Calm up !!! you would have read my previous post elsewhere but this is perhaps a lost in the post thing or a lost in the system thing b4 you go & tear off the examiners head off it would be worth talking calmly to the DVLA and insuring that the person at the end of the phone knows how to use the IT system that is in front of them ... telephone people perhaps have very little access to the database and perhaps cannot 'see' in process paperwork Regards Jim

May 26, 200915 yr i have spoken to the dvla and he seemed to know what he was talking about the checked all my details on the dater base and sead that nothing had come through andit just sead that i was able to ride a 50cc lol then he sead has it been more than 15 days i sead yes it been 3 weeks so he sead its most likely that the tester hasent sent it off or its gotten lost and forgoten about well have the test center number (lester) so im going to give them a ring to see whats what sorry just anoyed and im going on holiday and need my license as im riding to france so its going to be cutting it close oh OK, just take into account that the oppereator may have it wrong !!! Have you checked that you can drive in the country you intend to drive in with a new licence. I don't know but it would be good to check there laws just to ensure that foregin drivers don't need to have held a licence for a period of time b4 riding on there roads .... Take into account you are young , have just past your test and are driving 'on the wrong side of the road' there is no question you could do it but there is the point their government may have other ideas. Regards Jim
May 26, 200915 yr Dont panic mine took about 3 weeks to come back, call the test centre see if they have sent it, I am sure it will come through in the end.
May 26, 200915 yr is it me or what but you are worried about you licence arriving on time for your holiday to france! its the least of your problems you have a restricted licence 33bhp and your going to france on a bike which you have not had restricted so your insurance will be invalid and your worried about your licence?
May 26, 200915 yr Author yup checked the french law and because i did the new test (same as they have to do aparently im ok) and to oldtimer the bikes probs going to be restricted befor we go not sure thogh depends on the cost
May 26, 200915 yr yup checked the French law and because i did the new test (same as they have to do apparently I'm OK) and to oldtimer the bikes probs going to be restricted befor we go not sure thogh depends on the cost if the bike is still over just make sure you do nowt wrong ... taking youth from the equation I think I would not be able to ride a bike on the wrong side of the road without some more riding/driving experience if you do it just make sure you don't do the islands backwards ! Regards Jim
May 26, 200915 yr Author if the bike is still over just make sure you do nowt wrong ... taking youth from the equation I think I would not be able to ride a bike on the wrong side of the road without some more riding/driving experience if you do it just make sure you don't do the islands backwards ! Regards Jim haha i have actuly ride on the "wrong side" quite a bit in greece no legaly of corce but i was on one quad while mum and dad were on another so have a head start, also my mum will be in the car infront with the satnav and my dad will be behind me on his XT so should be ok. also whats this thing about us having to stick to a 10kph lower speed limmit ?? any one heard of that befor
May 26, 200915 yr Moderator max speed 90 kph/56mph in france for a year after passing your test, roundabouts are not too bad the road leads you into them, junctions are worse, make sure you do not ride into oncoming traffic, an experienced rider on the honda XRV forum has just done this and ridden head on into a truck, he is alive and has been medivaced home but is in a bad way merv
May 26, 200915 yr Author 90kph thats slow lol would take for ever if i were to do that lol ohh well and ye will wach out for the junctions

Regards Jim

Regards Jim
