Guest Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 good morning, can anyone answer my query? i want to start riding, im 33 and bought 125 to practice on, my paper part of my car license has got A, BE, GH and 3 points on it which are just over 5 years old and when i got my card license a couple of years ago it does not have cetegory A on the reverse it came with B, B1 and fklnp. Does this mean i have to apply for a provisional motorbike license before i do anything else and what should be the next steps up to going for my cbt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This however needs to be validated by attending CBT and gaining a certificate (which remains current for 2 years or until you pass a full A test, whichever is sooner) and this should be produced along with your provisional Group A licence (both parts) when attending a test centre or when requested to do so by a policeman.

CGD217 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Pretty sure you dont need to apply for a provisional because you already have a car license. The entitlements on your counterpart are provisional and your photo card are what you are entitled to drive.That's my understanding... Could be wrong but when I learnt to ride I never applied for a provisional because I already have a full UK car license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlecat Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 yup, you have provisional, but you do need to take cbt before you can ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
