Licensing Legalities

[Ryan Kerry]

Hi,



I have recently had my A2 motorcycle license revoked, due to an accumulation of 3 points attained on my provisional and a further 3 on my A2 license. From my little knowledge of recent legalities, I understand if someone with both a car and motorcycle license gets either revoked, the other is also taken. I do not currently have a car license. I understand to regain my A2 I have to retake both theory and practical tests again.



My first question is, do I have to re-do the entire A2 course again, or can I just apply for mod 1 and mod 2 again. Or if I was to acquire a car license would that also reinstate my A2 license.



Any Ideas?



Many Thanks

Ryan

My understanding it's that specific category that you lose and that you have to reapply for.

It'snot the whole retake your test think if you are properly banned for dangerous driving and the like where you pass one test and all your categoies are restored.

You have to be a special sort of person to take risks when you are on 3 points and if you get to 6 you have to retake your test....

So you're saying you think I will have to re-do the full A2 license again?

it doesnt look hopeful

"Points on your provisional licence

Any penalty points on your provisional licence that have not expired will be carried over to your full licence when you pass your test. However, your licence will be cancelled if you get any further penalty points that take you up to a total of 6 or more within 2 years of passing your driving test.
If your licence is cancelled within 2 years"
--------------------------------------------
We are at this point...so to fix it...

"You’ll have to apply and pay for a new provisional licence and pass both theory and practical parts of the driving or riding test again to get a full licence."

https://www.gov.uk/penalty-points-endorsements/new-drivers

considering you need to show a cbt and theory for mod1+2....and your cbt has probably expired (only valid for 2 years from issue), it seems like you have to start at step1 again, inc. getting a provisional.

Frankly, I'd argue this on the Katie Price basis or something....she seems to have had hers taken away 10 times in the last 3 years and Ive never heard of her taking a driving test, but we are little people.

I could also be totally wrong...this hasnt happened to me, I'm just reading up about it now..

I am now enlightened.

license less than 2 years: revoked/cancelled....start at step 1 again, but you can start at step 1 at anytime

license more than 2 years: ban of x time...cant do shit till x time has expired...once x time has expired, you reapply for your license to be reinstated. "some" conditions may apply depending on severity of offence.

If your licence has been revoked, it's back to the point as if you never had one. It's effectively been torn up and thrown in the bin and you have to start again. So apply for a provisional licence, do CBT, take parts 1 and 2 of the test.

If you had multiple categories, I believe you get them all back if you get one of them back.

I'm not sure if you'd get bikes back if you did a car test when you didn't have car entitlement before.

Get a pit bike and a 'Joker Smile' face mask.. You don't need a licence for them, apparently

This is interesting and slightly puzzling
I never knew you had to be particularly careful not get/accrue points for
2 years after passing a test.

My perma CBT Deliveroo guy tells me he has 9 points on his provisional
so if he passed his big bike test would the 9 points mean an insta ban?

IIRC he's been on a provisional for around 10 years now and doing delivery since 2016 ish.

He's mentioned getting on of those chinese electra bikes in case of a ban

You have to be a bit special to take any chances in those two years, especially when you have 3 points already.
