Been riding without a cbt..

I had no clue that my cbt expired last month and I've been riding everyday, I had a police car behind me today and didn't get pulled. How do the police find out if you have a cbt? Are the certifcates scanned and digitized? Or do you still have to do a producer..

f you are stopped (for whatever reason) and the nice Police ask to see your licence, if you are on L plates, they will expect you to pull out your plastic provisional card licence AND your CBT certificate. No certificate equals no licence to ride said bike on the road legally.

Oh I know that,I'm booked in for the end of week. I'm just wondering if it's stored anywhere for the police to see? I've been told its just certificate form only and you get asked to produce it with in so many days..

If they didn't pull you then they didn't know, as far as i'm aware there is no digital copy, good in your case but screwed if you lose it.

Have they always been recorded? Before my previous cbt I was riding without a cbt for a full year, had tons of cop cars behind me and drive past, never in my 5 years of riding have I been pulled for any reason lol..

If it was recorded it would be against your licence not your bike registration, so how would they know by following you?

Dur.

There's no link between licences and registered keepers - the only time this happens is when there is a marker on the vehicle telling them about associated scrotes that might be driving. Like if they know it's habitually driven by a drunken unlicensed driver ...

Well, I never knew that.

I presumed that once they put the licence plate through their system, all the other information showed up too.

They can get insurance details back, so that if it's insured to a 58 year old female and a 17 year old ratboy is driving they'll give it a tug.

My neighbour is a copper and a biker and I asked him about this very question. His response was along the lines of, "Most of us wouldn't have a bloody clue. Traffic on the other hand would but we can always just get the info from your insurer"

You carry on been a keyboard warrior Paul your boring me👍.

I rode without a cbt when I was 16 when I was stupid enough to do so. Soon realised it wasn't a good idea and did it at 17. Was curious how the cbt was recorded so thanks to the people who actually gave me a proper answer Smile

Blimey. So you rode at 16 without one, you've done 3, had a year without one, about to do another ... by the end of that one that's 10 years you'll have been riding.

Seriously. Take a test. You're just throwing good money away on CBTs.

I know it's definitely a waste of money after doing it so many times, once I get my new job sorted I need to do the test asap lol
