First thing, if you done your CBT 2 years ago it has ran out.

Yes. Call up your test center, and if you want to continue biking, either book yourself another CBT to get you another 2 years on L plates, or if your under 21 then you could book your A2 Restricted liscence that will give you a 33bhp liscence for 2 years without L's. Thumbs Up

As everyone has mentioned, first you have to do another CBT. have a look at this BCF post, it gives a little more info on licensing.

Being as you have had some road experience I'd say go for an Intensive course, I believe it allows you to do your CBT and A2 test in a short, explosive period of time.

Quote:
Intensive
Don't bother buying a 125, book yourself in for several days intensive training with your test at the end of it. Some people get this confused with DAS but there's no reason you couldn't do it for your restricted licence. Though, to be fair, this option is better for people who already have some road experience as you spend your time learning about riding the bike, not learning about which lane you're meant to go in at roundabouts.

Be aware that if you're doing DAS, you can only ride the 500cc bike with L plates when you're with an instructor. So the intensive route is usually the way to go.

I did my CBT a bit over a year ago when I was still 19. I'm sure the year or so of riding experience will make the DAS much easier, and I won't have to wait for restrictions to run out.

You're going to need to do your CBT whatever you do, so do it again and see what you feel like. You could get a cheap 125 to buzz about on until you're 21 before you do DAS. It all depends on how long it is until you're 21, and whether you could cope with being restricted. (Theoretically speaking of course.)
