They must be hopeless and have no limbs to operate the controls...

[Viper]

hessle's right with the 7.5 tonner.. i need to get my HGV liscence at 21 to drive one.. G-A-Y!!

[Colin]

You cant fail a CBT. But you can if your a complete cock.

Ive got my full license so im ok.

Good luck, listen and have fun buddy!

[Matt_R]

Dont worry bout it, its very simple, if they think you are not ready for the road on the day, they will have you back another day for a free day again.

[willerbyvts]

thanks 4 advice people.....i arent going to go there thinking it will be a walk through the park otherwise i probably would fail lol

[woodsy]

if you have a full driving licence carnt you drive up to a 125cc motorbike?

yes im sure you still can but not a motorbike a moped

[samm0]

piece of cake, as long as you show understanding of the road and simple bike control!

[C2_VTR]

When i did my cbt there was a girl there that was so crap at controlling the bike that she ended up doing the cbt on a twist and go scooter... so even if you can't get to grips with a geared bike you have an alternative... It was just a fun day out to be honest... especially the emergency braking lol :P

[minxymears]

yeah you c an ride anything up to 125cc on L plates with a full car license .... aprilia RS125 ftw!!!!!
or you can hop on a 50cc without L plates....
and CBT is so easy..... as long as youve actually ridden before youll piss it!
I got taken on a school playground, shown braking, braking distances, riding in ovals, riding figure of eights, emergency stops, and lifesavers and mirrors drilled into you, then out onto the road if they think your safe enough.

[tom187]

Good luck mate.
Can't really be that hard as it entitles you to be a learner lol

[boz]

anyone on here done there bike test??

how long you recon it takes to learn and pass that? me and a few mates were going to look into it over the summer.
rough idea on prices for lessons etc??

what the crack with getting a bike when you pass too?
could a 26 yr old pass and hop on to a 600cc bike straight away?

[minxymears]

yes mate if you do your bike license your restricted to a 600, or 110kw of power so ~ 90 bhp? 12 months on that and i think youre then free to jump on a thou or bigger, or cos youve over 21 you can go and do your DAS straight away and jump on anything ..... but youd shit yourself bein blunt ..... an 600's these days are plenty quick enough, and a good rider on a 600 with full system will keep up with a thou anyway!

[Barry123]

so long as you arent retarded you cant fail.

Yep, i have my full bike license.

If you pass on a machine >35kW then you can ride anything (if you're over 21).

It's best to do DAS (direct access scheme) - it costs approx £400 depending on your location and your level of experience.

i did the CBT for my ped about a year ago, its simple, just basic stuff like stopping and starting correctly, then turning practice around cones ect. Then answer few questions about road signs and conditions, and finally out on the road for a little while so the instructor can see you drive.
Real simple stuff, i was done in a few hours. :y:

[willerbyvts]

Good luck mate.

cheers bud im sure it isnt too difficult......the only thing is ive booked it for a week on Monday and thats ages away especially while my ped is sat in my garage just crying to be taken out for a blast....its killing me already :rage:

[tom187]

Try waiting till May 3rd to take your driving test.

[saxo2]

if u want to ride a 50cc then u can without taking the cbt n u dont ave to put l plates on,as long as u passed ur driving test before feb 2001,if u want to ride upto a 125 ul ave t do it and display l plates,n it only lasts 2 years aswell,if in doubt ring the test centre n make sure,n dont get insured by car insurers go for a bike insurance co like bennets there alot cheaper:drink:
