1982 - Introduction of 1 year ban

Learners that did not get some form of full licence (car, motorcycle etc.) inside two years were faced with a one year ban from riding motorcycles with L-plates. They could still ride a moped in the ban period. This was very unpopular amongst riders and led to many people riding illegally.

I think its, CBT for two years but if you dont pass a test then you can sit CBT again to save the year ban.

Was abolished in 2001.

Quote:
2001

All new motorcycle test candidates must do a Theory Test regardless of their licence.

Full car licence holders who passed their car test before February 1st 2001 will still be able to carry a pillion and do not have to display L-Plates.

All new car licence holders must complete a CBT before riding a moped. Those who take a CBT for a moped will have a certificate that lasts for the life of their driving licence.

Anyone receiving a ban on his or her licence will also lose his or her CBT certificate and Theory Test pass certificate.

All CBT certificates issued for motorcycles and scooters from the 1st February 2001 will only last for 2 years.

The old two years on, one year off restriction for provisional motorcycle licences is abolished. A new provisional motorcycle licence will last for the life of the licence.

Should go back to the year ban if not taken the test....

2 years is more than long enough to take and pass the test.

Your theory only lasts 2 years as well before having to be resat, unless you have passed the test Thumbs Up

FWIW I overheard a supermarket checkout girl the other day taking about her motorcycle test. Apparently it was at the weekend and she wouldn't have to do another for 2 years Rolling Eyes It would save her lots of money using the bike to get to work.

I just left shaking my head.
