What bike can you ride on a car licence

Progressive access can be taken from 21 years of age assuming you have held an A2 licence for 2 years. In this case just the practical test is required. The Practical test for all of these categories consists of two parts. This takes place within a fenced area at the Test Centre and usually lasts about twenty minutes. The examiner will inform you if you have passed immediately after the test. Before getting out on the road you will undertake an eyesight test.

The idea is to ascertain that you know how to carry out basic safety checks. The main element of the practical test involves a road ride where the examiner, connected by radio, will ask you to perform a number of manoeuvers.

To finish the test you will spend approximately ten minutes riding independently so that the examiner can judge your ability to ride under your own decision making. You will be informed of your result at the end of the test. The examiner will take you through the assessment sheet highlighting any faults you made, if any. The test Centre will then issue your pass certificate whilst you excitedly wait. You are then free to rip up your L plates and start enjoying the freedom your two wheeled machine will bring you.
