cbt expires retake?

[fender62]

my cbt runs out soon, i didn have the money to do the theory and practical test sadly, it means i guess even though you have been riding for two years and over 30ys of age you still have to take another. would your insurance be invalid if you rode even though your cbt has expired. would it not be a good idea if your a certain age and have done your cbt you dont need to retake it.

Age has nothing to do with it. Provisional licence and no CBT means insurance would be invalid. You need a CBT certificate to take your test anyway, so why not just do it? You can probably get away with just doing the 2 hour die, rather than a whole day of boring stuff you already know.

Isn't the practical test around £58 and the CBT around the £100 mark? So it would have been cheaper to go for your test However, you need a valid CBT to do your test so you will have to retake your CBT whatever now.

You must be really really skint. Like the posts above the theory test was about £58 and the theory
£25.

Plus I bought the theory cds for a tenner. And then 2 lessons with a riding school £60.

That's £153 all in. (Thats £1.47 a week over 2 years,)

And of course if you're going to do your practical test you'll need to do a theory test and also will need several lessons before you'll be ready! Which is where you are suddenly talking of hundreds rather than tens of pounds... (Got beaten to it by post above! However not many people can get away with just 2 lessons before being ready for the practical test!).

I did my CBT last year, and towards the end of this year I'll need to be deciding what to do insurance wise. Since when I renew my insurance in November I'll either be taking my test half way through the cover or retaking another CBT...

thanks for replies, yea im skint sadly made redundant and looking for work. i have been riding since i last did my cbt. where i live its about £80 quid, i just dont see why one has to retake it if you did it once already and passed.

Where the fuck can you take your test for £58.
everywhere around here wants over £400.

IIRC the CBT validates your provisional motorbike bit of the driving licence, so if you get pulled over with an out of date CBT you'll probably get done for riding without a licence as well

Cheers.
I'll try to cut a deal with the guys when i retake my CBT.

I wasnt saying that everyone that cant do their test without having lessons is a bad rider............i was just thinking that in this case the person has been riding for 2 years, and i would have thought been ready for their test, but as you say maybe not !!

i know the way im riding at the minute after having 4 years off, it would be pretty much 50/50 if id pass it now, but then again iv only had the bike 2 weeks.........but as you rightly say, its a confidence thing !!
