you are correct .. it will never happen .. too much money to be had as it stands.

 

Not really, as it stands you have 2 options, A1 or DAS ( A/A2 depending on age), it's one test, allowing a progression on L's is 3 test's but done over a longer period of time, but also allowing a rider to gain gradual experience on larger machines if they want to.

 

With the current system you have riders with some experience or no experience at all, doing a few days training to pass a test that will allow them on the road with any size machine, this is the system that makes no sense.

We know it won't happen anytime soon as the country is being run by morons, but never say never, it will only take someone with a spark of common sense in the department to utter these famous words " What if we did this ". Mind you now that MAG have got their so called foot in the door, it may be a prudent time to put forward some more items for them to chew the fat over

I thought I'd highlight a petition I found: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/568948/. Given that most A2 test bikes are 50 something HP slightly limited down, it seems crazy to have to redo both tests after 2 years - every signature helps. I still have hope that things can change!

Some sort of automatic progression would seem sensible. Even adding in a delays to progression or additional test if you get points or have an fault accident.
