Riding my 125 with a full car licence

[Dannylivi]

Currently I have my provisional licence with a CBT and ride my ybr125. I have my car driving test tomorrow and was wondering if i pass will have to tell my bike insurer that i now have a full car licence and will it make my insurance go up or down?

Thanks Dan

I ride my 50cc death-machine on my full car license. I pay £55 PER YEAR for the insurance, im 21
Should go down, it shows you are responsible and safe, apparently

Wow thats cheap. Im only 19. I gather that i will still have to display L plates?

[Martay]

Yes on a 125. On a 50, no, PROVIDING YOU PASSED A CBT WITHIN 2 YEARS OF PASSING THE FULL CAR LICENSE!! Thats what im on. I know its cheating, but is 1000 miles a year worth anything else?

So if I pass my Full driving licence tomorrow and my CBT is still valid i can legally drive a 50cc moped without L plates without ever taking my CBT again. Will i need to take my CBT certificate with me when i do my car test or will it like automatically change over. Thought that only applied when you passed your car test years ago as my mum is allowed to drive a moped without L plates.

If you have a 50cc, you are not allowed to have it derestricted either. No longer classed as a moped then.

[Dannylivi]

Ok that all makes sense. Finally got my head around it. Looks like im going to be selling my ybr very soon then and get a lovely restricted 50cc moped

The only reason i would want to keep riding a bike as I will be sharing a car with the GF and if she needs the car i wont be able to get to work.

Thanks for the help.

Pass your bike test on your 125, then you can keep that, carry pillion etc. and no need for any more CBT's.

[Dannylivi]

[Quornholio]

You'll still be able to ride your 125, with L plates, and no pillion or motorway use. Until your CBT runs out.

Unless you have money to burn, don't even bother now.

You've spent x amount of money to pass your car test, and will be subject to the New Drivers Act (if you pass of course), which means if you get 6 points in the first two years, you have to retake your test and get shafted on insurance for a good few years.

Guess what you'll likely get for not having a valid CBT certificate?

[Dannylivi]

I wouldnt continue to ride my 125 anyways. Ill stick to a 50cc. Only reason i got a 125 was because i use to drive on A roads but will take the car now on long journeys.

As Roger says, I wouldn't bother informing them mid term, unless you're making any other changes such as new bike etc.

Do declare it next policy, if they ask though. May drop your insurance.

No, you can ride a 50cc without L plates after passing your test no matter when (up to now anyway). The only thing about pre-2001 or whenever it was is the thing about having a valid CBT.

PS> Dumball, fuck off with your petulent shite.

Good luck with your driving test.
