does bike ban for speeding apply to car license too ?

[colin1]

If i got caught going at silly speeds on a big bike and i got a ban, would i be banned from driving a car too ?

i suspect yes, but id like an answer from someone who knows

yep you would, although I think sometimes if your a lorry driver for instance and you got caught on a bike, you may get to keep your lorry licence.

Nope a ban is a ban if you get one you will lose all catorgories on your licence

As BlackSheep said, but I believe that, if you have a car and bike licence, and you lose your licence in your car (therefore lose bike licence too) and ordered to retake your test, then to gain your licences back, you can take either the car, or bike test again.

As has been said above lose one lose them all.

You basically have one license with a number of entitlement on it. As such if you lose your license you lose all the entitlements.

i guess ppl with big bikes have to play far away from police hot spots or cameras.

If i have been on a countryside run on my 125, I only go 60mph to 80mph if that but when I come back through towns to get home its so hard to to stick to 30mph.

My bike is happy at 80mph and I havnt really taken it further.

I hear it is a ban for anything above 100mph so riding a bike which is comfy at 160mph, I wd have thought its just a matter of time before the points (or bans) start coming.

Im tempted to get a fast bike but I'm not sure its worth the risk unless I just ride it as fast as my 125 and whats the point in that ?

the kind of roads i like are long twisty country roads where I dont need to stop and accelerate up from standing.

I like them empty so i wont need to overtake very often.

Generally the bends can be taken at 40mph and probably more when i get better.

I guess the faster I can acclerate from 40 to 80 the better but for me the satisfaction comes from maintaing speed on the bends.

Once I have passed my test I will try out a few bikes.

If i want more power I guess i might get a rs250 or a rgv250 as they arent much heavier than my rs125.

On my rs125, I can change my mind on what line im taking through the corner quite easily even when I have started on it. I think this would be harder on a bigger bike.

I once talked to a guy in a pub with a biggish bike who said riding at 30 through town felt way too slow and his speed wd always creep up without him noticing.
