mod 1 before 19 jan 2013 on a 125... what about mod 2?

[mic]

hi

i know the dates arent set in stone for the changes next year but im trying to look ahead and be realistic as money is the main factor here.

i cant get funds for a 125/cbt till september and im gonna aim to do theory and mod 1 before xmas. Id like to do mod 2 before the new law comes into action and maybe do mod 2 for xmas on the 125. should i fail the mod 2 and not get another date till after the new laws (again money dependant nevermind looking for cancellations), will they honour my 125 mod 1 or would i have to do it again? im happy for a restriced license but i suppose if i have to start again on a big bike id have all year.... but still, be nice to get it done sooner.

i did the CBT a couple of years ago and had a 125 for a while, shouldve done all this then but you know how it goes!

im pretty sure you would have to retake mod 1 and 2 if you only do mod1 before the new laws

You can do your theory before you have your CBT, so that's one little thing that can help. Seriously try and get the money together ASAP though, even if you have to borrow from a friend and pay them back.

One shot at Mod 1 and Mod 2 isn't the sort of pressure I would like to have against me!

Right, trying to word this to explain without adding confusion;

Day you 'qualify', is when you pass last test, which will be Mod 2.

Licence you will get, will be whatever the entitlement awarded for last test you do day you pass.

SO, Pass Mod 2 this month, on a 125, you will have qualified under current test rules, and be granted full A-Group entitlement with two year 33bhp restriction.

After January 19th, pass Mod 2 on a 125 you will only get an A1 - 125 only licence.

As for the validity of Mod 1 cert, awarded before January 19th.....

technically you are supposed to complete both mods on the same class of bike.....

If you took Mod 1 for an A1 under current rules you could use a bike under 120cc, after Jan will have to be a full 125 as current A-Restricted rules.

I would imagine, that as A-Restrict dissapears, they will allow Mod 1 certs passed on a 125 to be counted towards an A1 licence under new rules.

I would hope that mod 1 passes on 'sub 120' machines under current rules, will be honored for A1 as cert was awarded under 'regulations in force' and cert still in validity.

However what they WONT do, is say, 'Oh you passed Mod 1 before Jan 19th... so do your Mod 2, and we'll give you the A-Restrict licence'
