The concept Compulsory Basic Training is not specific to motorbike training. I suggest this topic is expanded or renamed at lease to reflect the motorbike nature.61.9.212.224 06:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)Dean[reply]

Category A2 (not A1) Practical Test Pass (Not Direct/Accelerated Access)

Hello,

Is anyone aware of what Information Code is used by the DVLA on a Full Driving Licence to show that the licence holder's Category A licence is restricted to Motorcycles up to 25kW(33bhp) and a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kW/kg or a Motorcycle combination with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kW/kg for 2 years?

(Example: Passing a Practical Test in a vehicle with automatic transmission will result in an Information Code "78" being denoterd in the Code section of the Full Driving Licence) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rplyons (talk • contribs) 13:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikibook Project: Open-version highway code

As a sub-project of mine, as another hobby I would like to ask if any others who have passed their CBT, Direct Access and Driving licenses if they would like to contribute towards a pinpoint-accurate-referenced version of the highway code, and perhaps if popular enough open replacements for driving test related books for other countries. Of course, I will be e-mailing the DSA and others to see if anyone there would be willing to review the book for legal accuracy before it is considered a "complete" project. For anyone that is interested, please leave comments below rather than on my talk page. J O R D A N ^[talk ] 02:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is the 1990 date correct?

The first para implies that the CBT was introduced in 1990.

I remember doing the (my) CBT in the mid 80's, if I remember correctly it was about 83-84. It was part 1 of the 2 part test for motorcycles over 50cc and under 125cc. It lasted the same 2 years.

Hey, does this mean I can knock 10 yrs off my age with complete honesty! : ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thru-a-hoop (talk • contribs) 10:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, sadly not. Nowdays in most cases you have to do CBT before you can ride a bike on the road, meaning that most new bikes end up being delivered to test centres so that their new owners can wobble around a playground for a bit before venturing out onto the road.

The old two part bike test simply split the original bike test into two bits; your provisional license was valid for 2 years, during which time you had to complete both parts (part 1 involved wobbling around playgrounds and knocking cones over, whereas part 2 was the traditional bike test with the examiner standing by the side of the road with a clipboard.) The main aim of the 2 part test was to prevent people riding around for decades on a provisional license - you could, however, ride around for two years without receiving any training before your provisional license expired.

Thanks Paul B4, I understand the distinction now. When I did the 'cone squashing thing', it was a '2 part test'. This article is about Compulsory Basic Training, which although the 1st part of the old test and CBT are similar in the 'cone squashing' bit, they are different.

I was just raising a query of when was the CBT was introduced. Thru-a-hoop (talk) 13:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:Copy-paste and WP:NOTHOWTO. Wikipedia is not a how-to on getting your license, or a how to on any subject. And copy-pastes of text from elsewhere are almost always unacceptable, even when the license is not an issue. Copy-pasting instructions from other web sites does not improve encyclopedia articles. Finally, the open government license is not the same as WP:CC-BY-SA. Please stop. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:22, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
