Pbassred Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 My wife's CBT expired during Covid. She has booked to do another very soon. Obviously (probably obvious!) she is not insured to ride her bike without a CBT. However, she is super short and very limited in bikes she can get on (please don't suggest a list of potential bikes. We know them), so she wants to do the course on her own bike. The centre used to have a scooted but not any more. Are insurers will/able to insure for riding while under instruction? She has already called her insurer but they don't know yet(!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongefinger Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) How would you get it to the training school? Also does that mean the school only does geared bike training ? Seems strange I would have thought a lot of revenue would be for scooter CBT for delivery driving .

Quote Also does that mean the school only does geared bike training ? Seems strange I would have thought a lot of revenue would be for scooter CBT for delivery driving . When I took mine the guy only ran geared bikes. This school has a slot in 2 weeks time because she booked a while ago. It is what it is. There are other schools but they have a waiting list that is months long. This is the opportunity. The question is how to take advantage of it.

TimR Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Why not ask the best quoted price insurance company . You could place her as a named rider or solo policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieOWheels Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Well OP already mentioned that his wife has called her insurance and they don't have an answer for her, I can't imagine anyone on here would be able to offer a better advice/opinion as our information would be limited on this matter. Lol, I guess the best thing is to just wait till her insurer knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Irrespective of whether or not you can get insurance, the fact still remains she will be riding illegally until such time that she is under the supervision of an instructor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of her Riding it prior ... So you either transport the bike there via alternative means or Hubby/Friend etc rides it to the training facility as long as their insurance allows them to use other vehicles ( *check for the clause in some policies that don't cover you if the vehicle is owned by your spouse*) .. as the vehicle is still insured even though Wife is technically Not until she is under instruction .

Pbassred Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Quote To be honest I didn't see it as being rude!! he doesn't know and he doesn't care and its not the subject of the thread Precisely this. I can't change what that school bike are and it does not affect the fact that she can't ride them. The question is about insurance. Its genuine issue that affects a lot of people who CBTs were not extended during the pandemic. However I guess people like to clog up a thread with irrelevant points of view. That's not rude at all, is it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I hope you manage to get it sorted and your missus gets back on two wheels as soon as, it's not been an easy time for anyone and there are plenty of people in the same situation. Not much help I know but this whole situation could have been handled differently. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlecat Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Why can't she ride the schools bikes ? Genuine question..and what does she have that she can ride ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbassred Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Quote Why can't she ride the schools bikes ? Please read original post. All, It turns out that her insurer will insure for the CBT (but would cancel the policy if she failed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
