“Consultation on moped and motorcycle training, testing and licensing”
Below is the next item we will cover, please note this a condensed breakdown of the consultation. For full information you can visit the consultation link.
Topic 6: CBT (DL196) Certificate validity
Currently the Certificate is valid for 2 years and can be re taken multiple times with no limit or restrictions.
On the consultation they will be looking at limits on how many CBTs could be taken, the validity period of the Certificate or a mandatory gap between courses.
Introducing any of the above is hoping to encourage more riders to progress from the CBT to full licence holders, either A1, A2 or Full A. Therefore not to encourage permanent learners. Obviously this could have a massive impact on a lot of commuters, food delivery riders and more.
