Adding to your licence

[Mattastic]

I'm looking to do my CBT in the next week or so but having looked at my licence I only have entitlement for:

B
B1
and provisional f, k, p

I'm almost certain that you need provisional A or A1 in order to ride a bike. Would I need this "activating" by the DVLA?

I think you do need the A intitlment on the licecence you may need to re sumbit your license to change your intitlments on there ring hte dvla asap as you may need to re arrange your cbt.

Just been having a look on the DVLA website and apparently I have to send off my licence and pay them £38!

Somebody somewhere is making a lot of money out of us motorists. £38 to type a single letter onto a piece of plastic and a piece of paper

Look on your paper counterpart, 'A' may be listed under "Provisional Entitlement".

He must of already looked on the paper part to find provisional f, k and p.

[DaveS]

Not necessarily. I have both parts in-front of me and on the back of my card it lists
B, B1, f k p

My paper counterpart lists A, BE, GH under 'Provisional Entitlement'
None of the above are on my card so the likelihood is your looking at the card not the paper counterpart.
Hope this clears up any confusion

I thought the card only listed the full licences you held?

[Hex]

My card only lists the full entitlements, for the provisional I have to look on the paper counterpart.

f, k and p must be full then since the card only lists full licences.

[DaveS]

[priller]

If you've got A it will be on the paper part. Since he's got a full car it might have a full moped licence too. Cant remember when they stopped doing it.

[JimboJ]

As far as I remember P is what you're after.

Sorry if it's been answered, I couldn't be bothered to read through the posts as I'm in a rush!

'A1' is a 'light motorcycle licence' meaning you can ride a 125cc or less with no L's on,
and 'A' allows you to ride a bike above 125cc (taking into account 33bhp restriction etc.)

From the dvla website.

Not sure what P is but on the back of my licence it says you can have it at 16, so i presume its a ped thing.

Can you ride one of those BMW scooter things with the roof on the invalid carriage entitlement?

[JimboJ]

[carvell]

Hairy muff.

Not much point in doing a CBT if you're not going to pass your full test though.

If you are then shame on you ped boi!

I am about to take my theory test before I take my DAS in a few weeks. I have a full car license from 1998, I have my CBT, do I need to apply for a provisional bike license or will my car license cover this?
Cheers

If you have got a CBT then you must have got provisional bike license. So no you don't

[Hex]

[Bod]

AARRRRRGGHGHH, thing is though, when I booked my theory it accepted my driving license number, so surely if anything was wrong it would have came up?
