Helpful information about the A2 and A licence categories

[dydey90]

I've just happened across this leaflet which is an outline of driving licence regulations.
As we know the regulations are thus:
Age 16: Category AM
Age 17: Category A1 (125cc, 11kW)
Age 19: Category A2 (35kW)
Age 24: Category A (unrestricted)

Here's an interesting snippet of information:

Its called accelerated access. Its the only way around the DAS at 24 rules they have put into place. We have a girl waiting for her 2 year 35KW restriction to end so she can come for the bigger bike test.

I do apologise. I hadn't seen anybody else post it, so I wasn't sure if it was common knowledge or not.
As I'm 22, it wasn't mentioned to me. I wish that there was some way I could take the unrestricted test a bit earlier though... I'm 24 in exactly 1 year, 0 months and 1 week.

No need to apologise The info's kinda buried in the Duffer's Guide to Getting A Licence thread, maybe it needs to be updated. I know a couple of people who are in the same situation as you, think they've decided to stay on a 125 'til being old enough to do their DAS.

I'm just kicking my own arse for not sorting this all out last year, in the 14 month window where I could have done everything in one test.

Saying that, I am glad that I got some training on some bigger bikes rather than passing on a 125 and then buying my 650 with no experience.

I find this the best guide (except the first page, which I found confusing): https://assets.dft.gov.uk/dsa/dsa-routes-to-your-motorcycle-licence.pdf
