CBT plus a little bonus

[GettinBetter]

Okay, So I got my CBT yesterday, but was also pleasantly surprised to find that my license doesn't expire after the expected two years, but lasts for the lifetime of my license. So not only was the CBT a great day, but the bonus put a big grin on my face Didn't even know that was a rule.

You will always keep your licence whether prov or full, the CBT only last`s 2 years.

It's not a rule, you have been mis-informed. Form dl196 validates your provisional motorcycle entitlement for 2 years.

I believe it's true for mopeds, if you already have a full car licence, or pass your car test within 2 years of the CBT.

If you passed your car test yonks ago (pre 2001?) you don't need a CBT at all for a moped.

Ah crap... well, I'll assume the worst and disregard the extension...and plan my tests within the two years. TBH I never thought I'd ever need it anyway. I will also try and get to the bottom of this as I was informed by the course instructor.

UPDATE:

Well I'm just about to become a real biker, well I use that term loosely. But if the definition of a biker were to be: that I use two wheels on the shitty roads amongst all the four wheeled+ nutters. then I guess I'll be a biker...
Last weekend I drove up to Yorkshire to collect a VT125 Shadow... (I wanted a red one ) Wrote a list of things to check before using it..hopefully just got the oil /filter change to do, and affix an L plate to the front. and we're off...
