How to Buy a Motorcycle Driving License A1 and A2 A1 is a great option for riders who are just beginning their journey. It offers increased training and a wider range of riding opportunities. It also gives you the ability to ride without a license plate or carry a passenger, and also to drive on motorways. You must pass the theory test, pass the training and then take modules 1 & 2. The process of getting an A license will cost approximately PS650 including CBT the theory test, as well as training. Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) The CBT is a prerequisite to obtain a motorcycle license. The CBT is a combination of instruction in the classroom on road safety and highway codes, as well as practical riding on roads for at least two hours with a professional trainer. During this time you'll begin on quieter roads before moving to more crowded roads. Your instructor will help you build your confidence so that you are able to drive independently. Your instructor will sign off that you've completed the CBT. After that, you can apply for a DL196 to obtain your CBT Certificate. This will allow you ride any motorbike or moped that is 125cc or more as long as it has red L-plates on the front and back. You can also pillion ride and use a motorway with this license. However the licence expires after 2 years, and you'll have to complete a new CBT course to keep your license valid. You can opt for a full A licence after passing your CBT and theory test, or you can choose to go with the Direct Access Scheme (DAS). This option is available to those who are older than 24 years old, and it enables you to upgrade immediately from an A2 licence without the need to pass a CBT or theory test. You will still need to pass the modules 1 and 2 of the theory exam. Both modules 1 and 2 of the theory test are computer-based, and include multiple-choice questions on topics like airworthiness as well as road signs. To pass the test, you'll need at least 42 points from 50. The module 2 practical exam is, in contrast involves taking on a bicycle across the road to perform a series tasks. These include demonstrating proper lane positioning and turning at junctions, making the safe U-turn and following traffic signals. The cost of passing the theory and practical tests will vary depending on where you live and the kind of motorcycle you'll end up riding, but expect to spend between PS400 and PS900+ for full training with modules 1 and 2. You'll also need an appropriate motorcycle for the A2 license. This could be anything from the Honda Monkey, to a Triumph Street Twin, or a BMW F800R. Motorcycle Theory Test (MTT) Before you can take the practical test, you must pass the motorcycle theory test (also called Module 1 and Module 2). The MTT is similar in nature to the car theory tests however, it is geared towards motorcycles. You will need to review a lot of material before taking the test. There are a variety of resources that can help, including books and online quizzes. The test in the theory section is comprised of 50 multiple choice questions and you'll need to complete them all correctly to pass. The questions cover a wide range of topics, from road signs to the Highway Code and there is also a section that is dedicated to motorcyclists' rules. Many websites and apps provide practice tests. They are highly recommended. After you have completed your MTT Once you have passed your MTT, you are able to book your test in the practical area. The test is divided into two parts. The off-road portion (Module 1 ) lasts approximately 20 minutes. It involves parking your motorcycle, moving it onto its stand and executing manoeuvres around cones such as U-turns or figures of eight. The test on the road is longer at 40 minutes, and involves riding your motorcycle on the road with an examiner who will be testing your riding skills and understanding of road regulations. If you are able to pass both tests, your license will be upgraded to an A2 license. You can use a motorbike that is up to 125cc and carry a passenger. This is the best option if you're looking to upgrade your licence before the age of and gives you more flexibility and can purchase a larger bike immediately. You can also take the MTT and get straight to obtaining an A licence when you are older than 24. You can take any motorbike on the road and carry passengers. This is not the best option for novice riders, as you'll have to take your CBT and the theory test over again, but it could be the best way if you want to upgrade to a bigger bike right immediately. Practical Test For the test on the spot, you must be accompanied by an approved motorcycle instructor. During the test, you will undergo several exercises and the instructor will assist you to get comfortable riding the bike. They will also explain how the vehicle functions and what it offers. They will give you advice on how to ride safely and efficiently. You should be able to apply the brakes effectively and maintain your speed. The test lasts for 40 minutes. You will be required to make angle and normal starts and also an hill start. You will be given a radio to listen to instructions from the examiner throughout your ride, which will also allow you to communicate with other riders. After passing the practical test, you will be able to take an A1 license. This licence allows you to ride a motorbike that is up to 125cc. You can transport a passenger with this licence if you want. You must keep the A1 for two years before you can upgrade to a full A licence. The A2 licence allows you to drive motorcycles with a maximum power of 35 kW and a weight/power ratio of no greater than 0.2 kW/kg. This licence is also suitable for three-wheel motor vehicles, such as trikes. You must pass both an exam on road traffic and an actual test to be eligible for an A2 license. The test will consist of 20 questions, including 10 on road safety. To pass the test, you need to answer each question correctly. You must be at the bare minimum of 17 years old to take the test. A2 licenses require a medical examination and a passport photo. If you already have an A1 license and you are eligible to apply for A2 straight away. However, this route takes longer and requires more experience. Some people believe that if you have to repeat the same tests every 2 years it's a waste of time and money to go from an A1, an A2, and then getting a full license. If you are only interested in riding an unreliable motorcycle for work and don't wish to carry passengers, then it may be worth it. Full Motorcycle Licence After passing both the Module 1 & 2 practical tests, you are able to upgrade to full A licence. This allows you to ride motorcycles with a power output of up 35 kW (47Bhp). You can also take off your L plates, carry passengers and ride on motorways. The route to an A2 licence is similar to the process for an A license. Once you've completed a CBT, and passed the theory test and have completed the theory test, you can start training with your chosen training provider to take the A2 practical test. The modules for the A2 test are slightly different. Module 1 is a test of your riding skills. The examiner will evaluate how you ride the bike, and on what roads you can use it. Module 2 is more compartmentalised. It starts off with an eye-sight test, followed by about 30 minutes of driving tests on the road, focusing on how you manage the bike under pressure and how you deal with carrying passengers (known as a”pillion”). You can choose to take an immediate or progressive route to an A2 licence. If you're older than 24 and are keen to skip the AM and A1 licence levels taking the direct route is a great option. You can skip the two years between passing the A2 test and advancing to a full-A licence. If you're willing to pay more, it is possible to move directly from an CBT license to an A2 if you go the direct route. But, you'll need have a substantial amount of cash saved to cover all expenses for training and tests. The DAS scheme also allows you to get an A2 license. This is only for those who are older than 24 who have completed their professional training before taking the full motorcycle test. This allows you to use any size motorcycle, remove your plates for L plates, and carry pillion riders. The DAS course and the test are more expensive than other routes to an A licence. However, if you're little older and have some savings built up then the DAS route is a great option.
