Speeding while on restricted licence.....

[Mark312]

My wife is a bit paranoid (more than normal) about speeding at the moment. She's passed her CBT on a 125, and will be taking her test sometime in the next few months. As we understand it she'll be able to ride a restricted bike for two years.

How would a speeding ticket, if caught speeding in a car, affect her bike licence? She says her cbt instructor told her that she would have to retake her cbt if she was caught speeding.

I would like to persuade her that 32 in a 30 zone is unlikely to get her a ticket!

Any ideas?

Hi

I take it she has had a car test for over 2 years. If so then the 6 point / 2 year limit (which is the real nasty) doesn't apply.

All the best

Yep. I got my car license 15 months ago. 9 Months clean *touches wood* to go.

And if they revoked her CBT for doing 32 in a 30 zone then what will they do to 3 kids who were driving peds around without L plates, dangerously and being a pain in the arse to car drivers?

I didn't think they could take your CBT off you?

If she was stopped speeding on either the bike or the car she could be given points on her licence, a fine and a ban (if the speed was deemed to warrant it). She would still retain her CBT pass certificate.

If she has held her full car licence for over two years, she could in theory tot-up 12 points before receiving an automatic ban.

If she's held it for less than two years and got six points (on either vehicle or any combination of the two) her licence would be revoked. She could apply for a new provisional licence immediately, I suspect the CBT certificate would actually still be valid until it is 'out of date' but she'd have to sit her car test again.

if she has had her car licence for more than two years then she can get 12 points total bike or car.

Correct me if I'm wrong, as far as i understand it if you are on a provisional licence you can be banned but only when you've reached the full 12point(?) limit
As soon as you get your full bike licence you will have it revoked (not banned) and you have to apply for your provisional licence again.

If you have a full licence on either the 6points thing doesn't apply as far as i know.. (I'll try and find out for sure..)

Thanks for all that. She's been driving on a full car licence for about 17 years, so the two year / 6 point rule doesn't apply.
