@WWTFMAN_1989 5 лет назад

Hi spicy thank you for that explanation on the licenses it was very easy to follow the way the progression works in this video the only thing we have is if you are under 21 you have restrictions but after that it’s balls to the wall take the 3 day class and go out a get 1000+ CC bike and let it rip and that is what I did! My first bike was a 2006 Triumph sprint 1050cc bike and loved it so much but looking back on it probably was not the best thing to start off on and in my opinion one of the ugliest bikes you could get.

@jean4562007 5 лет назад

Thank you finally some clear explanation

@kevinmobile 5 лет назад

Good explanations as ever with what seems at first like mind-boggling complexity explained nicely. For anyone wondering at what point they should get an A class test-suitable bike, don't forget that for the DAS (>24 years) courses, the schools will supply the appropriate larger machines for both the training and Mod1/2 examination tests. You may even have a choice of say engine size and variations of seat height so ask about this in advance. Cost is quite high (typically £700-£1500 depending on course length [could be 3-6 days] and your experience) but look for recommendations and ask questions. Don't just pick the nearest one before you decide which organisation is right for you. I believe that for new or returning older riders the intensive DAS courses with strong instructor supervision (often by ex-police riders) and plenty of varied road miles are well worth the money.

@shaneoshea8431 3 года назад

So Glad that I did my test when I did. I had 2 days training and my test on the 3rd day. 7th, 9th and 11th of Jan 2013. These laws came into effect on the 19th January 2013 1 week from when I did my test. CBT at 16, went in to for full license at 17 and half; passed and got my 600cc at 19 and half. It was so simple. CBT -> Theory -> Full bike test -> ride any bike up to 33 kw or 250cc -> after 2 years ride any size bike you want with no restrictions. I remember my instructor warning me just before I left to do my Mod 2 "just remember if you fail this, you can't do it again until you're 24!" as if I didn't have enough pressure on my own back of losing £900 if I failed 😂

@seshelbow336 3 месяца назад

I “failed” my CBT. The person examining me was being examined himself. Because I was using their bike, which they’d only bought the day before (some old as MT5 kinda bike, don’t remember the make or model) the guy actually said to me to please be careful I don’t go over 30 because when he rode it home yesterday it was getting up to 50mph. Obviously a moped is only allowed to go 30. so I’m driving along at exactly 30 on my speedo. He tells me to increase my speed to 30. So I go up to 35. He says again to increase my speed to 30. So I go up to 40. He says again can I go up to 30 so I get up to 45. When we got back to the test centre he regrettably informed me I was too hesitant and slow and he couldn’t issue me a certificate that day. I was absolutely fuming, but didn’t call him out in front of the person examining him. As soon as we were alone I pulled him to one side. Told him I was doing 30, 35, 40, 45. I could see the panic on his face. He’d let me do my CBT on an illegal bike, even if it wasn’t as fast as he thought the speedo was well out. He thanked me for not saying anything, told me to come back tomorrow and we’d get it sorted within an hour. When I arrived my certificate was written out waiting for me. I didn’t even get back on a bike. I just walked out with my certificate. Buzzing. By the time I got home there was 3 inches of freshly laid snow. Didn’t stop me tho. Had my little AR50 waiting and nothing was stopping me. Freedom was now mine. It did piss me off a year later as I had to wait an extra day for my full years no claims to insure my new chesterfield rs125 I had sat waiting to go.

@MrSlowestD16 5 лет назад

Thanks for the explanation, heard so many clips about it in your other videos but w/o much context it's really hard to wrap your head around. It's a really complex system there. I'm from the US, so obviously I have some bias, but I think that system is overly cautious. I completely understand not wanting brand new people to have a 1000 bike, but I think the intervals are too long and too many levels. I feel like the 50cc scooter thing should be ended, 50cc on many public roads are straight up dangerous, cause massive road rage in anything but down-town city. I think they should just nix the 50cc bit and at 16 your CBT should allow you to have a 125 for 2 years. Then on the other side, having to wait until you're 24 is too long.

Mention that you need a provisional license before you can get your CBT unless you already have another driver's license. Don't assume everyone is under 24 and include a suggestion to "skip to 5:26 (or whatever)" if you're over the age of 24, etc.

@TheBaconVanMan 2 года назад

So glad to be in the US lol. I started on a 750 from the 80’s I turned into a café. The process was: 1: Go get permit - Pass a 25 question test with 80% and pay a $9 fee. 2: Take a riding skills test on your own motorcycle. And just like that, you have your full unrestricted license* *There are 3 tiers of license though depending on the size of bike you tested on. Testing on a 250cc or less only allows you to ride a bike up to that size. Up to 600cc is the second one. Test on something bigger and you’re cleared to ride anything you want. So easy. Dangerous? Yeah. But at least it’s your own choice if you want to go the safe route or not. I definitely went the safe route with a motorcycle safety course and started on a bike with only like 60hp. But what else would you expect from the land of guns and no-license-or-training-required powered paragliding? Lol. It’s up to you if you wanna be safe or you wanna be stupid. Nobody is gonna force you to be safe.

@Dganny24 2 года назад

I'm pretty sure that that is state dependent too, here in NY there is no CC restrictions, ergo, take it on a scooter, and you're good to legally get on a liter bike.

@SupermotoZach 5 лет назад

I'm planning on taking my full licence this year, about 30 years later than I should have done it. Was so much easier and a hell of a lot cheaper too. Iirc it was little more than a CBT.

@Blitz6804 5 лет назад

So different in the UK vs the US. For NY, you take a 20-question multiple choice test, and get a learners permit to ride literally anything you want, provided you're within 1/4mi of a licensed rider. After "sufficient experience" has been obtained, go take a 20 minute road test, and you get your full license. To be fair, my experience is as a car driver getting a motorcycle endorsement... if this is your first license period, things are slightly harder.

Really informative video thank you! I’m 24 and have never owned or ridden a bike before. From the video I can see that I can go from CBT straight to A license. Does that mean I will have to purchase a 125cc to get used to the roads and have tests? Thanks!

@spicy110 4 года назад

Best practice is to get a 125cc for a while first to learn the control and road knowledge. If you already drive a car you will have the road knowledge so hot such a big issue. You can do the CBT as part of 3-5 day course called direct access, that start from nothing and end with you having the full licence. (If you learn to handle the bikes and pass ok, tho they normally won't put you against the test until they know you will pass.

@seshelbow336 3 месяца назад

Back in 1999 my mate 19 did his A2, bought an RGV 250 which was above the allowed power. The official restriction kit he got fitted to allow him to ride it was a tiny bit of bent metal 1mm thick, 8mm wide, maybe 40mm long. It had a hole drilled at one end, and a small posi drive screw. Basically a tiny bracket to restrict throttle movement that could be removed in seconds. Always made me chuckle. Obviously he removed it the second he got home.

Best option would be to use a time machine to go back to the early 70s when I took my test - up to 250cc on L-plates until you passed a 1 part test where you were observed by an examiner on foot, then unlimited. Another advantage was petrol was less than 50p a gallon.

@FritzNR8 4 года назад

I got a cbt at 16, A1 at 17, A2 at 19 and A at 21... From what I remember.. you can take cbt before theory for upgrading licence, you don’t need to do a cbt if you have an A1 licence to upgrade to an A2, you just need theory mod1 and mod 2. And no theory was needed to upgrade from A2 to full A licence... things might have changed recently but I’m only now 23 so wasn’t that long ago

@spicy110 4 года назад

You would be correct but that is the most expensive option, If money isn't an issue sure. For most 16-19yr olds money will be a very big factor. 1 x CBT 1 x theory 3 x mod 1 3 x mod 2 4 x training + bike rental My best suggestion was CBT at 17 and skipping the A1 1x CBT 1x theory 2x mod 1 2x mod 2 3 x training + rental One less bike (no 50cc as i suggest waiting for a 125cc) One less test and training + rental. This also gives you A2 at 19 and A at 21. Saving £1k - £3k maybe depending on bike, for a 1 year wait.

@FritzNR8 4 года назад

@spicy110 definitely was expensive, but i wanted to carry pillion at 17 so which also saved myself the hassle of redoing cbt, I agree 50cc is a dangerous bike but mine was never restricted purely to have that power to get out of a situation Although it was expensive and took a long time to get through, the experience i got from smaller bikes and slowly increasing engine sizes helped me appreciate all the bikes ive ridden and the power difference from engine to engine... I agree that having the restricted licence is a good thing so people dont jump from a 125cc to a 1000cc which they are not accustomed... however i dont understand how that would be any different from a 'born again rider'.. someone who may not have touched a bike in decades.. being able to jump in any sized engine he can afford, because they done a test when they were a teenager.. I know people who said their test used to involve leaving the test centre, riding round the block and back to the test centre on their own and the instructor was waiting for them to get back.. if they got back safe, they got a licence... madness!

@ataboyboyboy8895 2 года назад

This idea came to my mind, petrol crisis etc, that I should learn to ride motorbikes (I am a car driver for 40 years). It was confusing as hell. All I wanted is a license. I had to research a lot and listen to videos like these to understand what am I supposed to do. Madness.

@spicy110 2 года назад

Do keep in mind you will now have to do a lot more learning to get that licence. Driving cars and bikes are now the same thing. Best of luck!

I watched this because i didn't have a clue what a mate was talking about when he said he only has an "A1 license ", I did my test a good 20yr ago now..so yeah a long time ago, so wasn't really sure what he was talking about. I do remember back when i did mine, they were people taking their test on a 125's because 2 years later after passing your test you could automatically ride any size bike. I can see why that's gone out of the window now. I passed mine on a CB600

@seanwhelan3905 Год назад

Hi. I did my CBT in 2009 then went straight into full A direct access course at the age of 21. I passed and was given a full A licence without doing an A2 at any point. I’m assuming the process was different back then ?

in 6 / 7 months i'm going to do my 125 CBT. What bike do you recommend to get to start with? I've been looking at used YZF R125 / MT125 however i'm rather on the budget side. Need a bike that could do about 30miles daily comfortably and that looks sick lol. Any ideas? Much appreciated + great explanation of licenses

@Ryan-dx8ry 3 года назад

Hi, if I have a full UK driving licence for a car (got in 2008), does that count as a provisional licence to ride a bike or do I need a separate one? Thanks

@One.Youniverse Месяц назад

Well explained. I’ve got my cbt last year and riding CBR 125, I’m talking progressive route for my Lic. A1 mod 1 is coming soon, but I was thinking to cancel if and book a2 mod 1 instead. For that I would need to train on a2 complaint bike. Yes ? Do u think if there is any possibility to buy one and perform the tests on my on bike ? I know some guys have done it on the progressive route without spending 4 figures in driving schools. Im 37, done couple of lessons with instructors. I’ve been riding from long time and just wondering do I need L plates on a2 bike while preparing for a2 lic? Can I even ride a2 bike while preparing for a2 mod 1 ?

@youngeroldie5089 4 года назад

As an instructor there are rumors that changes may happen, I .e to go from A2 to A licence you might be able to go to training school for further training with out having to do another test. NOTE this is only an idea from the government and not yet in practice. Be worth while for A 2 holders to look out for.

@dksspec 3 года назад

Just taken my progressive access A after riding a couple years on a A2 licence (I'm 23). Been riding motorbikes since I was 16 non stop. Absolute piss take system for the progressive access. Same 2 tests and another £400+..... i recommend getting your A2 to gain experience but they need to modify the test for bigger bikes

Great great I would of added. If you hold a car licence be for 2001 u can rid a 125 without doing a CBT and if u hold a car licence while u do Ur CBT u automaticly get a AM licence for life but just for a 50cc but great information keep up with the good work

Hello, thanks for sharing. My question that I have an A cat printed on back of license with date, does this mean I already have the Full A? I passed car test in 1989.

@spicy110 5 лет назад

No sadly not. Pre 2001 you can ride a 50cc moped without L plates but that's it. If you want a 125cc or larger you have to follow the normal route i.e (for someone 24 and over) CBT, Theory, Mod 1 and 2. This will give you the full A.

I have full A2 license without any CBT but iv'e done it in other European country. Is that allright? Or I have to do CBT as well?

@willswheels283 4 года назад

Back in the day, when this was all fields haha, back in 1998 when I passed my bike test at 19 I passed on a 125, I then could ride any bike up to 33bhp, and then after 2 years I could automatically ride any size/power bike. It sounds quite long winded and expensive getting your full bike licence these days and I think I would have baulked at being prevented from riding a bigger bike than a 33bhp bike after 2 years unless I passed yet another bike test, I don’t see that as being fair! Car drivers should be expected to do this kind of thing as well, you pass your test in a 1 litre Car, no more than 75bhp, and your not allowed to mod it to get more power or buy a bigger car until you pass another test when your 25, because it’s often car drivers themselves that cause injury and death to bikers by driving irresponsibly.

@janinestoeman3895 4 года назад

I passed all my tests back in 1997, had to renew my address on my licence. Got my licence back, never bothered to check to see if all my licenses had been put on. I'm now 42 checked my licence cant see any of my bike certificates. DVLA now say they don't keep records from before 1999. I'm not happy.

@EinkOLED 5 лет назад

I hated having to retake my CBT for the 3rd and 4th time, it seemed a waste of time and money since I already knew how to ride a 125cc motorcycle. And it was at that point that I did my DAS and passed both Mods first time within a few weeks in summer (best time of my life getting a bigger bike and using the motorway). Do you think the DVSA should scrap CBT's in favour of the A1 or simpler and cheaper version spicy?

@MrLiamnic 5 лет назад

Spicy I’ve just finished my 2 years on my a2 do you think I should do direct or wait for these changes? I’ve been waiting for more info since they announced the proposed changes start of last year

@spicy110 5 лет назад

I know of no proposed changes that would effect you. However if you want the A I would say get it soon as you can. Any changes that come will only make it harder, they will not bring back auto upgrade lmo.

@MotoGoato 5 лет назад

Man thats complicated ... wasn't like that when I started riding ... did my CBT at 19, rode about on a Honda NS125 for a year then took the test (on my 125) 2 weeks before I turned 20. Passed that and traded the 125 in against a brand new Suzuki GS500 that should have officially been restricted to something like 40bhp (but never was) .. then after 2 years my licence was automatically upgraded to the full A licence without having to take any more tests. If I remember correctly had I been over 24 or held a full car driving licence when I took the bike test it would have been a full A licence straight away without the 2 year 40bhp restriction. That was back in about 1997 / 1998.
