I'm uneducated on this situation mate but I can only assume you'd have to be eligible for a licence (if that also makes sense? Confused )

I'm assuming that because you've lost your licence you'll have to wait the year (it's a year ban isn't it?) until you've regained it, and then go for the car entitlement.

Hope this helps, but I'm too intoxicated to make sense even to myself at the minute.

Pinch of salt mate, pinch of salt.

You need a licence to take a car test, this is usually a provisional. As you have lost your licence you don't have a provisional and aren't allowed one, so can't take your test or on road lessons. You will probably have to do the extended retest to get your licence back again. With a car it requires you to do a longer test with all manuvours in it, i should imagine the bike test will probably be the same, maybe a bit longer on the roads.

If you had both bike and car entitlements before you lost it though, you'd only need to do one extended retest. Most commonly people do the bike test again as it is easier.

A mate got caught doing 35 in a 30 on his moped at 16, then got 3 points in his car for a fucked headlight, lost his licence and had to do the extended retest. I don't really see why he needed to prove he could drive a car again Laughing

Are you still on a proviosnal? If so its an automatic ban for a year (is it a year) until you can reapply for your license.

Similarly if you rack up 6 points in 2 years of passing bike or car, then again you get another ban.

I haven't doubled checked but thats how it works as far as i'm aware

There seems to be abit of confusion here, due to my obviously crap first post. Here's the run down.

Caught by a camera,
Still in probationary period,
Got 6points,
Only had a bike license,

Do I need to take an extended test?

The guy I spoke to today from the training place I use, said that the extension only applies for serious things like drink driving.

Would you wait until October to do DAS or do it on a 125now and have another 2 years restricted?

Warped


How long did you get banned for??

Assuming it was 6 months, for explinationary sake (yes, yes - i did just make up my very own word) then you cannot take any car or motorbike tests until you receive your licence back in 6 months, this includes CBT.

Should you wish to keep riding a bike, you could however buy one of THESE BAD BOYS which also boast having a button that can DOUBLE the top speed. To be honest, i'm thinking of flogging the SV and buying one, just to have the "go baby go" feature button.

HTH,

i believe that if you passed your test and then get 6 points its a ban but no time limit.

as far as i am aware you can reapply for your provisional right away.

but i could be wrong (normally am)

With the the 6 point rule isn't just the licence is revoked rather than a ban,

So you can apply for your provisional straight away.

But if you where doing silly speed when going past the camera they may of banned you anyway.

You can apply straight away if it is just totting up as it is revoked not a ban.

What speed were you doing to get 6 points?

You can't do your car test until you've got your license back.

If you have just had your license revoked under the New Driver Act then you can reapply for a provisional license at any time. As far as I know you will have to redo every test again as if you never had a license.

There needs to be some sort of glossary, "loose" a license is way too vague. It could either mean, a ban, a revokation or a disqualification.

It's very simple:

Since you've been revoked under the new driver rule, to re-gain a full license you must re-take any of the tests you had already previously passed to regain your full license. You cannot take a test for a category you didn't hold previously.

not strictly true. perhaps just a wording issue

re-take any ONE of the tests you had already previously passed

if you for example have a car and bike licence you dont have to resit both a car and bike test. you just sit one of them (whichever you prefer) and regain all your entitlements.

i've heard of people doing tractor licences for this reason as the test is piss easy Smile
