Guest Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've had my full car licence since 81. my question is when i first got my bike about 82 on provisional entitlement it was a 250cc. I've been off an on bikes since but not for about ten years. I'VE been told i can no longer drive a 250 but only a 125 and then only after taking a test??. what's up.

Your provisional entitlement is worthless until you validate it by gaining a CBT certificate. It is NOT a test, it is training to get you to a required level of competency.CBT is valid for 2 years. So unless you pass the test, you need to redo CBT every 2 years to carry on riding on a provisional licence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susieque Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yes, when I first learnt to ride a bike you ould ride a 250cc bike on a provisional licence.I'm afraid the laws have changed & as has been said you'll need to start from scratch, CBT then theory & main test (Mod 1 & Mod 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
