Old car driver

[Tulip]

Hi everyone.........
If you can help it would be appreciated.
The wife has a full car license for 20 years and is now bored with pillion and wants to ride a bike. Clearly she s entitled to ride provisional on a bike up to 125cc. But does anyone know if she needs CBT, also supposing she passes a test what can she ride at that point?
Any help appreciated...................Phil

CBT is well worth doing, even if you don't legally need it (you sure about the 125 thing, I thought old car licences only gave 50cc rights?).

What she can ride after doing her test depends on which test she takes. Check out the sticky post at the top of this forum for all the guff on which test is which.

Hello,

She is currently entitled to ride a 50cc with provisional entitlement. After CBT she can ride up to 125cc with a maximum power output of 11kW (14.6bhp) with provisional entitlement.

After the standard A2 test on a bike of 120-125cc and capable of more than 100 kph (62.5mph), she will be entitled to ride any motorcycle up to 25kW (33 bhp) and with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kw/kg with a two year qualifying period for the full license entitlement.

Obviously, after the direct access test, taken on a motorcycle of at least 35kW (46.6 bhp), she would have full entitlement from the off.

Hope that helps.

Hi

With a car licence that long I think it counts as a full moped licence. Fairly certain she still needs to do CBT to ride a bike of over 50cc.

All the best

Acwman, you are wrong. Information like that could put people in danger.

Provissional would probalbly have been included on her licence but she still needs her CBT.

She will need to take a CBT.

My mistake She would have to take a CBT for riding a 125..
