New Bike Test

Just to let you ALL know that the new bike test has just been put back by 6 months, so anybody that has failed it, get yer ass out there and pass it now.

Dont ask me how i know i just do.

That’s a result for a friend of mine, she’s gearing up for the test but at least she’ll have a buffer if it goes wrong first time.

If she doesn’t believe me where shall I point her for that announcement?

prob be in the papers within the next few days.

groovy, I’ll look out for that.

Not completely surprised at that though, considering how unready they are

That’s good news :slight_smile:

yay , i havent managed to get a second one cuz they were all booked up .
so will still have to wait but wont have to do the new type :slight_smile:

Good to hear as i have my test coming up and am not 100% confident about it!

Good luck with your tests get in there before its to late:D

It’s on MCN too.

11-09-08 New test disaster averted - motorcycle lobby wins U-turn.
Following two years of hard campaigning, the DSA have announced an eleventh-hour delay to the introduction of an extended practical test for new motorcycle riders.

i passed mine yesterday, rushed the whole process just so i could get a test asap, sigh of relief.:smiley:

Well done mate !

Congratualtions.

Funny, but the DSA argued that as the directive came in on 1 October they simply could not issue licenses after that date using the old test method as they would not be valid under EU law (there was a FAQ about it on their website but that has dissapeared and now any link relating to the new test sends you to a blank page)!

Wooo!! :smiley: Congratumalations!! I bet you are well pleased :cool:

Really? Way too cool, leaves me time to get it in then… best get out on the 125 and get some practice in :smiley:

There was me thinking that I’d be stuck with the new test.

haha if they kept the original date I wouldn’t be riding today, would have said sod it ill wait till summer. Was told by my friend that it was in march. Did my CBT 3 weeks ago and did my DAS last weekend :smiley:
