Yet another new license question !

[jeddy11]

Quicky

Im mid way through restrictive license (mod 2 to go) which means i can ride up to a 33 bhp machine for 2 years..

Reading with the new laws in Jan the restrictive license grants 47 bhp..

Now will i be able to ride a 47 bhp machine when the new law comes in or will i be restricted to 33 bhp ??

cheers

You'll be restricted to 33bhp until the 2 years are up from passing the test. The new changes only come into effect for those taking their test after the deadline. You could pass your test the day before they bring in the new system and still be restricted to 33bhp for 2 years and then able to ride anything.

AS Pinky says, you'll be restricted to 33bhp for 2 years. After that, ride anything you want as the restriction is up. Not bad for doing the test on your own 125.

Those taking the test after January are restricted to 47hp FOREVER. That is unless they do another test on a bigger bike that grants them a Full A licence.

Yup, you'll have an "A<=25kW" license, it'll upgrade after 2 years and won't be effected by the license changes. It's a different category from the new 35kW A2 license that's coming next year.

It's confusing, I know, since you'll sit a "standard" test on an "A2" motorcycle and get an "A<=25kW" license. It doesn't help that the DVLA mongtards actually list A<=25kW as "A2" in 'previous entitlement' on counterparts.

But, never mind all that bollocks, you'll be on 25kW for 2 years, is all you need to know.

Agree with the above. You will be restricted for the 2 years to 33bhp.

The licence code for what you are entitled to ride will appear on your licence.
New codes are being used for the new regulations from Jan 2013.
These codes indicate what you can ride.

You must ride in accordance with your licence.

However, worth noting from this firm of solicitors it does not necessarily invalidate your insurance as perhaps the police would make you believe.

I'd just get on and pass the mod 2 and enjoy riding without L plates and upgrade the bike after 2 years.

Best of luck with the test

i have a question too


say i pass this year, i get my restricted license, which as far as all the licensing people are concerned is classed as a2 on the license? so what happens when my restriction ends, do i send the license in, they give me one with A on it, or does it just disappear OR am i thinking this wrong, and the way it actually will show your entitlement will be A- with a restriction of 33bhp from xxdate to xxdate?

when i passed my car test and went with aviva, they took the date i got my provisional license as how long i had held a licnese...

every other insurer takes the date i passed my test...

(oddly, Aviva are still the more expensive option - and even tried to chase me down for the cost of a courtesy car when an uninsured driver smacked into the back of me... despite me having cover for courtesy car lol.)

insurance companies are a rip off... note how a non-fault claim will increase your premium... (why? - its not your fault if somebody else cant drive?)

sadly, since insurance is a legal requirement, they do what they want...

also, can you take your NCB from learner 125 onto a bike after passing your test?

You can't have your ncb taken away from you unless you've made a claim. You will still have a certificate come renewal that states how many years ncb you've accrued, regardless if you passed your test within this time.

I'm yet to see an increase in premium for a non fault claim.
