Unrestricted A Test Mod 1

[DRZ4Hunned]

Just booked my A licence MOD 1, I've had an A2 licence since I was 19 (now 22) so I've done the 2 years required.

After booking the test, it said I need the following:

your UK driving licence
(If you have an old-style paper licence, you must bring it along with a valid passport)
:arrow:your theory test pass certificate
a compulsory basic training (CBT) certificate
:arrow:suitable clothing for riding your machine
a motorcycle that meets the rules to be used for the riding test

Before booking the test, it said I would not require a theory certificate if I have held my progressive licence for 2 year, do I need it or not?

Do I really need a CBT cert if I've got my A2 licence?

Cheers

You should be fine. I've never known issues with anyone I've taken for upgrade. However, there's no harm in going into test centre 'as you were passing' and checking with bike examiner.

Yes, making the bike 'legal' in the car park may be your bigger issue. They've never checked the bike I use for a2 and a. But, if they've never seen you or bike before, it may be different. Rent a van to drive it in?

I see what you mean. Get a mate to pillion you in? Or someone to ride it in for you? You could then possibly get away with 2 sticky l plates for the duration too.

Great, think I'll go with the 'derestrict round the corner, restrict round the corner' method then

There are probably some that may get funny if you turn up at the busiest point of their day, but, a 2 min conversation that could save an issue on test day is worth a go. Most (almost all) of the examiners I've met are more than helpful.

as it's been 2 years since you passed your A2 you will have neither a valid CBT or theory test certificate. The licence card is all you'll need.

If they get shirty write "CBT/Theory Test certificate" on a bit of bog roll, it'll mean as much.

You'll need: L Plates, Hi-Viz vest (maybe), your license (with A2 clearly shown on the front and rear) and a bike that meets the requirements as per whatever link its shown on (providing your bikes not on the list of "wont accept for test").

Ignore everything any email tells you because, given that I'm in the same boat, when I turned up for my Module one the training school guy was confused as to what I'd need and even the examiner at the test centre had to use the chart on the wall to ensure what I'd got concurred with what they'd got on their flow chart. The chap I had my Module one is respected by the local school, and I got along fine with him, but even those in jobs directly related to this license system don't really understand the progressive bit entirely.

Out of the two modules I'd go for Module One on your own bike if you're overly bothered about proving restrictions. I got asked "Are you using a training school?" for my Module One and answered "Yes" but canne be sure what questions would have followed afterwards. The form you sign simply states that the bike you have is covered by an insurance policy; possibly for tests but who even checks.

I booked a second attempt at Module Two through the training school simply because despite it being just under a month -- from my last and first attempt -- it was sooner than slots through the test centre themselves so be prepared for that.

Unless it's tipping it down with rain or the tears of the woman who's just failed it, I wouldn't even be breathing on the rear brake during mod 1.

Sorry, I meant for the e-stop. If you're locking the rear elsewhere, see the other update that I just added.

I'm guessing its not just CBT -> A2/DAS anymore then?

If you have a full licence (pink one) for a motorcycle then you do not need the CBT.

If you have held the full A2 licence for more than 2 years then you do not need a valid theory test.

If you are upgrading via the age restriction then you do need a valid theory. My other half is 23 now, she done her A2 a few weeks ago, next year she is doing her full A and as she will not have held her A2 licence for a full 2 years before upgrading she will need a valid theory test.

As you have held your A2 for more than 2 years, you only need to turn up with your pink licence for mod 1. Then for mot 2 you need the licence and the mod 1 pass cert.
