CBT


Saul

Recommended Posts

Taking Shadow up to Damerells to do her CBT today.  😳  Shed is just a tad nervous this morning.   I am sure she will be fine but will be glad to get her there.  😉

She is fine, just dropped her off and the first question she asked was how many were on the course, so she knew how many she had to beat 😉.  I did say  it’s not a competition but that is not her life outlook, has to be the best.     Gotta go back at 4:30 to pick her up.

Un- familiar with the term CBT...I guessing motorcycle license  ?    Goodluck Shadow .

It stands for Compulsory Bike Training.  You have to do it in the UK to be able to ride on the road as a learner.

After the course...what's next ?  Imagine there's a certain amount of time that has to be spend has a learner...or will she be able to take the bike by herself without the company of a liscen rider...

Next step is that she will be able to ride her 125 on the road with L plates from her 17th birthday in October.  

As I understand it she can take her A1 test to lose the L plates as soon as she is ready, then at 19 she can do her A2 test to ride up to a 47 BHP bike.  Either as standard or restricted.   Then at 21 she can do her full unlimited license.    Not easy to get a full license here.

I guess it's a good thing...I've seen many bike accidents over the years with rider riding bikes that are not suited for their experience...mostly riding heavyweight cruisers...

I would say so, I suppose I would have a different opinion if I had to do it but I think it is generally a good thing.    The old system here was pretty much a joke and looking back bloody dangerous.  Mind you a different time with much less volume of traffic.   Used to be able to ride a 50cc at 16 then 250cc at 17, do an easy test then anything you could afford.

The new system is just another way to milk money out of the public while subjugating them. All law and legislation is arbitrary, it should only be used to benefit society not to control it via the curtailment of fundamental rights and freedoms.

That's true of anything the state administers though.   Practically need a loan to get a Passport now, and let's not start on speed cameras.   I am pretty comfortable with my kids having plenty of training before being let loose on the latest unrestricted Sports Bikes.    The further point I agree, but there are plenty of fuckwits out there that need controlling for the safety of others.

Yes but we can’t let people like @Marcel le Moose Fondler and @Six30 spoil it for everyone else.

Here you can ride a restricted A2 at 18, and then at 20 it automatically goes to A1. I never noticed that my driver's license only stated the A2, so until 2 years ago when I last went to Morocco I rode with a license that stated I wasn't able to ride unlimited bikes :classic_laugh:

Obviously in Portugal cops know that the license renovates to unlimited, but obviously all the police that checked it in Morocco over the years don't have to know that, they obviously didn't pay too much attention :classic_laugh:
