cant book a cbt untill you have a provisional licence in your hand.
you can send of for your licence a week or 2 before your birthday i believe

Hello and welcome.

You will have to be 16 to do your CBT, my son did his on his 16th birthday.

If I remember corrrectly you can apply for your licence two months before

Course you can. The only problem is getting it to the training center. You can trailer it or get someone with a licence and insurance to ride it for you but don't whatever you do try and ride it there yourself. That way disaster lays

And keep us updated

Welcome to BCF and good luck with the CBT.

I did mine in the snow so don't worry too much about doing it in December!

was probably told he needed to come back.
but yeah you cant fail, so youll have no worries

What clancy said

It's merely training to prepare you for the road.

If I could offer any advice to you it would be to read a copy of the highway code cover to cover and then read it again before you go for your CBT. Not because you need it especially to be signed of the training but because you will be a million times safer on the road.

yeah most speedfights do about 55 if you scream it.
if it already does that, then its already de-restricted mate

[Joespeedfight...]

I feel safe at them sort of speeds i drove a bmw around Oulton park at twice that speed!
Thanks clancy

Yeah don't even worry about your CBT. Its more like a lovely day out than anything else. Just enjoy yourself mate.

And the only way your could ever fail it was if you couldn't go in a straight line. A guy who did his CBT with me didn't speak/understand a word of English as he was Polish. He didn't do any of the manuevers the instructor asked him to, and just rode the bike with us for a few hours and was still awarded the certificate.

Hope you enjoy the experience!
