Hi

I have a full car licence and have done for teh last 18yrs...i have sgined up for my CBT this saturday but on checking my photocard licence... bikes ain't listed.

Now from what i have read i CAN ride a 125CC if i have a CBT cert but do i need to apply for provisional bikes to be added to my licence first?

Does that make sense? Shocked

Look on the paper counterpart bit of the licence - it should be on there under the heading "Provisional Entitlement".

Yes you can do your CBT on your licence and yes you can ride a 125 on the same licence after.

When you go do do your CBT take both parts with you.

Have fun.

And photo id!!!!!! (for when you take your theory and also practical test).

I was in the same situation past car at 17 bike at 32.

You've got the advantage of road knowledge, which helps immensely.
When I did my CBT I always had to ride up front as I had the road knowledge.

Wheras the young man with me, had never ridden or driven before.


To be honest you should have to do theory before CBT, especialy for people without other category licenses.

I was in the same boat too. Passed car at 17 and bike at 44 Shocked

There was no bike entitlement on my photo licence but it was on my paper counterpart version.

Yes, you can ride a 125 on 'L' plates for up to 2 years on your car licence as long as you have your DL196 (CBT Pass Certificate).

Basically, you need to take the CBT to 'validate' the motorcycle entitlement on your car licence (just in case plod stops you for any reason). CBT is compulsory for ALL motorcycle riders, and it's not expensive really, so just do it. I'm sure you'll pass Thumbs Up

It's not mandatory, but the DVLA do say that you are recomended to take the CBT in order to 'Validate' your full moped (50cc) entitlement which comes automatically as part of a full car licence.

Erm...

You've got me a little confused there Confused
If I remember rightly, you have to produce your DL196 (CBT Pass) when you arrive at the Theory Test Centre, together with your photo licence and the paper counterpart. Therefore, the CBT must be taken prior to the theory test - yes ?

I might be wrong. I'm happy to be corrected Thumbs Up

What to bring to your test

Before leaving home, make sure that you have all the necessary documents you will need to bring with you for your test appointment.

You will need:


both parts of your signed photocard licence (the photocard and paper counterpart)
if you have an old-style licence you must bring your paper licence and a valid passport
your appointment card or booking number

If you don't bring the correct documents with you on the day, you won't be able to take your test and you will lose your fee.

You should arrive in plenty of time so that you aren't rushed.

No when I did my theory they did not ask for my CBT.

A lot of people just do the theory then a full week DAS, ie CBT on day 1, test on day 5.

Fair enough, I stand corrected. Thanks for that, mondeokid. Appreciated Thumbs Up

So, ya' see folks, I'm not always right. And I'm willing to be corrected by others who know better than me Thumbs Up
