A little guide to upgrading from an A2 licence to an A licence on your own bike. Obviously I am not an instructor, so please do your own research on top of this and take lessons if necessary.
1. Ring your insurance and tell them you want to undertake your test on your own bike. Some insurers offer it as standard for the first x days, I'm with Hastings Premier and whilst it was covered it was not in my policy documentation. They simply sent me a letter after I requested it that I took to the DVSA with my insurance certificate in case they wanted to check it.
2. Make sure you can restrict/de-restrict your bike. You have to legally get your bike to and from the test centre, but also do your test on a derestricted bike. Mine was a physical throttle restriction that took 2 minutes to take off. See the here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/list-of-motorcycles-that-can-be-used-for-riding-tests to check if your bike is eligible to undertake the test but as a rough guide it needs to be at least 595cc and 40KW/54HP.
3. What you'll need: A high visibility vest to wear during both MOD 1 and MOD 2 tests and L plates. Make sure if your rear L plate is covering your reflector to make sure your reflector is somehow visible. One of the mod 2 show me/tell me questions requires you to show the lights/reflectors and it's a legal requirement to have one showing. I simply mounted my reflector on the L plate whilst it was on the bike.
4. Get on a car park and practice your slow speed manoeuvres. Watch this video as a good starting point for information gathering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coiHiEIbfUU and the MOD 1 course with dimensions can be found here https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7e3c7fe5274a2e87db06da/motorcycle-manoeuvring-area-multi-purpose-test-centre.pdf
5. For MOD 2 read this https://2countiesridertraining.co.uk/using-the-road/ to make sure you're doing your observations and life savers correctly, and this https://www.aylesburymotorcycletraining.com/Motorcycle-Training-Questions.pdf so you know what to expect in the show me/tell me section (there is an official government doc for this too but it doesn't include to pillion/load questions).
6. Book a test https://driverpracticaltest.dvsa.gov.uk/application?execution=e1s1 and good luck. |
