What’s next? CBT pass

[Allanmania]

Hi, easy question for you all.

passed my CBT in October. Already thinking could do with a bit more oomph.

I’m 45 years old. 20 years plus driving experience… is my next step A2 license? 
 

thanks in advance

I'd be looking at A (unrestricted) - AKA direct access.

 

Theory

MOD1

MOD2

 

Then you're fully qualified.

I read that you need 2 years on A2 before you can take the direct access though?

 

That’s the requirement anyway from ProScot? 
 

if am reading it right?

That's only if you are 19, then you can take the A at 21, otherwise 24 and older you can go straight for the A.

when you read the page, you missed out. or skipped over one of those tiresome two letter words that tend to be quite important. easily done in the excitement of the moment. fresh CBT in hand can cause temporary word blindness. this is a well known fact. and if it isn't then it should be. I read it in a book somewhere or other.

ProScot's Direct Access (DAS) Training Course is only available for riders aged 24 years and over or for those riders who have held a full A2 licence for more than 2 years, the latter stages of this course are conducted on our larger full power (72Bhp) Kawasaki ER6 650cc motorcycles.

Just do the direct access course and you are done and never need worry about it again, just enjoy riding whatever you want.

You need to pass a motorbike theory test  - there is a 4 in 1 app that costs a £5.. if you pass the hazard perception and questions on it and fail your theory test it gives you your money back (the £23 for the theory test). 

 

I used this app and passed first time, but I did have to pass the hazard part first then the questions (when I tried to do it the other way around it kept failing me on my hazard perception part.) 

 

Then you can book your DAS course.
