Hellooo everyone,

I am currently 19, 20 next may. Ive wanted a bike since a kid but parents have always been a brick wall but hey im 19 and its finally my money!!

Now as I understand it, I can currently take my CBT then get an A license and ride 33bhp for 2 years. This is fine as I am in the process of buying a lovely NC30 with the restrictor already fitted.

So my question is, if I obtain the A license before 19th January, come January 19th am I still restricted to 33bhp serving 2 years restriction??

Oorrrrr does this A license become the new A license and allow me to ride unrestricted? Does this A license become the new A2 or A1 and I have to take a plethora of new tests to progress?

Or does it simply remain as it is, allowing me to ride unrestricted after 2 years at 21 without a further test?

Maybe because its 3:30am and I am genuinely confused but I simply cannot find any information about what happens to those serving their current 2 year restriction on an A license?! Confused

Grateful for any help!!!

Thankyou!

Yes.
Passing your test on the means you will have the <25kw license for 2 years aka the 33bhp restriction even during 2013...

The new laws will NOT apply to us... We can still ride any size bike as long as it is "restricted" *cough* Shhh! Whistle

You do realise you need to do CBT -> Theory -> Module 1 -> Module 2 to get a 33bhp restricted license ? Not just CBT. If you're planning on getting this done before Jan, you really need to be starting NOW! Test centres are already getting booked up way in advance with folks trying to get theirs done before the deadline.

Filthy minx.

The legislation is The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 and there's no provision in it that I can see for changing entitlement that's already been earned by January 19th 2013.

I mean, except for some baffling clauses about if you've somehow got full (>25kW) entitlement somehow at 17, being able to take a new test to validate it, but we can't figure out to whom that applies.
