Shared Joy

[KingKong]

Hi

Felt the need to share my indescribable joy for passing my accelerated access yesterday. After having thought a restricted licence would satisfy my bike lust, I realised I was wrong, and so booked myself for 'big bike' tests

To all wannabe licence holders, if the law permits, do DAS as restricted is horrible!

Getting my ZX-6R de-restricted very soon (kinda scared but excited)!

Nice one, don't lose that A2 test pass certificate though.

I just have to hold out for 3 1/2 more months...

Because its your proof of passing the test until you get your license back. Also it's nice to keep it

Well done

Well, several reasons:

1) It's proof of when you first obtained your A license. After 2015, counterparts are being scrapped so you'll lose that record and your photocard will only show your Accelerated Access pass date, screwing you out of some license duration for insurance purposes.

2) In case the DVLA "lose" your entitlement, at any time when you've surrendered your license (unless of course you "lose" the current license instead )

Oh, right, a literal month. Nicely done!

Did you pass on a training school bike, on your own, uh... "35kW+" machine?
