Hi All,

Just a quick one really, is this all hear say or a fact that come 2013 the rules will change?

Can anyone offer any links from Direct Gov or anything else that backs this up?

I know this has been all over the forum so apologies for resposting the topic, but I just wanted an official yes/no and any dates when it'll come in to play.

Thanks Thumbs Up

DON'T WE ALL!
Situation is NO-ONE knows, no dates exist, and the Gov't are keeping 'shtumm', we presume to ambush us at the last moment, insisting its an EU requirement, and whatever they put on the table, as a fete acomplis, is immutable.
ALL we know for sure is what the EU 3rd Directive requires, vis stepped licencing, and DAS style testing, and that we have to have laws in force to comply with it by Jan 2013....
NOW you know as much as any-one else outside Whitehall, and probably more than most within it!

My Fiancee and I are both keen to get our tests done some time soon but we are saving our cash for our wedding next year so that makes 2013 the earliest likely chance we will get! It would be nice to know what we are likely to be facing.

The definitive Directive is 2006/126/EC.

The introduction date is 19th January 2013. Publication of the UK's implementation was supposed to be 19th January 2011 - we are (of course) still waiting. I've got a petition in with Brussels to send the UK government a Sternly Worded Memo. Rolling Eyes

Actually, good news for anyone on an "A <= 25kW" license

Best to read the whole thing if you want all the facts. For a laugh, see if you can spot anything in it that countenances anyway even remotely like the UK's solo L riding...
