Ok, I passed my A2 on 16/10/07.
Today I get a letter telling me I did a test which I'm not entitled to?!
I'm 19 years old and did the test on a CG125, in what way am I not entitled to this test?
Anyway, I read on.
Half way down the letter they tell me (to my amazement) that I did the test on a 500cc motorcycle which is DAS and I'm underage.
Im now being told my test is void and I will recieve no licence!
I've tried to contact my examiner, only to find he's retired......great.

Any suggestions from you guys would be much appriciated, I really dont know what to do.

Thanks in advance, Chris

Is that the examiner, or you instructor? Either one would be useful.

I guess you don't have a copy of the pass sheet?

You could go down/call up the examination centre, and discuss your problem - hopefully they will have records to support you?

A2 is the restricted license which is done on a 125. WTF Laughing

Did the motorcycle school put you into the A full unrestricted test? perhaps the examiner filled out the paper work wrong?

Don't worry they will have lost your details by Christmas so you'll have to sit all your tests again, except you'll probably have no money in the bank after the social gave away those details too.

I would invest in an Oyster card, at least then they will always know where to find you when they sort it all out Smile

They can't wash their hands of it, they will have to play their part in resolving it. I could be wrong but the driving tests are all handled by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) and I would guess that they pass the details of whats what on to the DVLA who are responsible for issuing the licences only.

What you need to do is to sort it out with the DSA, make them understand that they have messed the paperwork up and that it needs correcting. It matters not a jot that the examiner has retired - they still have a repsonsibility to you.

Once they have corrected the mistakes then they should pass the right info onto the DVLA and then you should be issued with the correct licence.

If you still have your DL25C fault sheet from your test, it shows the reg of the bike you sat it on. That should prove it was a 125.

Wait, so you basically passed a HARDER TEST, on the kinda bikes you can ride once you've passed the A2, but because your meant to be too much of a noob to o that, they say its invalid.

FFS, you did the test on a BIGGER, HEAVIER and supposely more dangerous bike.

And this means your licence is invalid?

This country is fucking rediculous. Evil or Very Mad

Aye, and apparently the "fucking" education system sucks too!

Anyway, Super-duper I'd play hell with them, get all your documentation together as much as possible, including details from your training school/test examiner.... COPY THEM. Then write (snail mail) to the DSA, CC in the DVLA and anyone else you can find who cares to listen... Maybe a local paper etc... Demand justice! Refunds! Compensation!

Contact the DSA on 08700101327.
You can confirm which test you booked to take. they will also have the record of your results and what type of test you took together with the reg No of the vehicle you took your test on.
your Blue pass cert will also say what you are able to ride.
The examiners have to do a write up about the test so that will also be on record.
Don't panic and be nice to the people you talk to as they will be the ones who help you.

Ah, just forget it go and do a couple of driving lessons pass a piss easy test and buy a subaru, then you too can yell at the motorcyclist who has done 4 tests and has better observation skills, for not watching where he was going!

Yeah a wee bit of cynicism there, the whole system is fucked up, but play the game and you'll get there.

As SKUDD said just be polite, obtain the records, all the info is there and keep the "you cnut" ending to each sentence.. silent..

The DVLA are fucking ridiculous. About a month and a half back i got a letter from the DVLA saying that i needed to send my licence back to have the points put on it. I did so and i got it back about 3 weeks later Rolling Eyes

Now about 4 days ago i get a letter saying that my licence will be rvoked on the 19th because i havent produced my licence. They really are complete and utter fuckups as an organisation.

But i rang up and i really cant fault the person who dealt with me on the phone, he was really profesional and helpful. And he got it all sorted out within 2 minutes.
