Posted: 10:12 - 23 Apr 2015 Post subject: Licence question |
|
|
I have a full UK driving licence, I passed 6/6/1996.
I am 36 years young
There are 4 sections on the reverse of my driving licence which refer to motorbikes.
Next to A1 and A2 I have a small dash.
Next to AM and A there are 2 dates.
Does this mean I have category AM and A on my driving licence already, and I can therefore drive motorbikes which fall into that category?
Cheers |

I thought that too, and would have cheerfully ridden off into the sunset on a 750 if the salesman hadn't checked my licence.
I was disappointed to find that unless you have actually passed a driving test on a motorcycle, it just means that you have a provisional entitlement to ride up to a 125cc machine (under learner rules), which must first be validated by means of a CBT certificate, which lasts 2 years from the date of issue. ____________________ Honda Varadero XL125(V8)

AM, sure, a pre-2001 pass means you can ride a 45kph/28mph ped. Fill your boots.
Your A will have "79 (tri)", so you can "ride" trikes.
If you want to ride a proper bike, you'll have to get a proper license. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Again, thanks for the help. 79 is indeed on my licence next to category A |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 9 years, 4 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
