33bhp Licence Restriction

Korn · Admin Joined: 01 Feb 2002 Karma :

My 33bhp shackles came off a few days ago (now I can take the restrictor plates out of the storm, officer Wink

) but I'm wondering if I have to send off for a new licence, as the <25kW restriction code doesn't seem to list any expiry date.

Anyone know?

).

I think you would need a new licence but wait until you have a producer. Any cop with any brains can see that from the issue date your restriction has lifted. Unless they want to be an arse.

The DVLA do not help themselves with there crazy prices for licence changes.

Kevo.

my issue date on the pink license reads;

CatA - 10.09.01 - 10.09.51 <25kW

but i passed my test in 2003 Confused

the dates dont actually indicate the restriction period at all.

Hi

Think it has always been 2 years for a restricted licence to turn into a full licence. However if you turn 21 during that time you can go and do a direct access test

All the best

It's always been 2 years from taking the restricted test, if you reach 21 before the 2years is up you can take Accelerated Access to derestrict you.

Got a reply today for all you concerned people:

Someone told me that when they have to change their license they just change the address from their house to their Granny's address at the same time so the DVLA do it for free. Not sure if I believe them though.

Your meant to, I'm not sure of what the legal requirements of it is.

It's free to change your license when you move house.

I think it's something silly like up to £1000 fine if you don't change it.

/me makes mental note to change address on driving license

The official answer:

"According to the DVLA there is no need to apply for a a new licence on expiry of the restriction date limiting the type of motorcycle that can be ridden. A police officer could tell the restriction had expired by checking the dates on the licence.

If you want to have the restriction note removed, a new licence costs £18"

When you pass either the car or bike practical tests you have 2 years to send off for your full licence. I passed my driving test in October of last year (so nearly a year ago) yet I didn't send off for a new licence until recently when I moved house. I sent off my provisional with my pass certificate and my change off address details and no fee. Hey presto, new gay pink licence arrives on my doorstep a week later Very Happy

On the same kind of subject, I looked at the counter part to my driving licence and theres nothing in the coeloms......I'm guessing there should be?
Ive only done my CBT, am I meant to send it off to get it updated or something?

Ste · Not Work Safe Joined: 01 Sep 2002 Karma :

Nope. When you do your CBT your photocard and counterpart stay the same. Your CBT certifacte becomes part of your license though so don't be lossing it!
