Review of Proposed Motorcycle Licence Changes

Current proposals for motorcycle licence changes. Simplified Licensing: Lowering age thresholds for A1 (125cc) and A2 (35kW icenses, potentially from 17 to 16 for A1, and from 19 to 18 for A2, Training Focus: Moving away from repeated CBT renewals towards a more progressive "CBT Plus" system, ensuring skill development Assessment Over Testing: Replacing some tests (like Mod 1 & 2) with practical assessments, potentially after two years on a license, for upgrades....

8th August 2025 (updated 4.9.25) Safe vehicles • Are current vehicle regulations, as applied to motorcycles, sufficient? ABS should be compulsory on A1 motorcycles too. These are what most riders learn on, and young riders use, so carry the highest at risk riders. Automatic closing of throttle, either a thumb throttle or split throttle tube could save up to 1 second in reaction time, and achieve a 15 mph or more reduction in impact speed....

Advanced motorcycle training is based on the book - Police Motorcycle Roadcraft - or is it? Police Roadcraft for cars goes back to the 1930's. It was written when there was no training or testing, you just went and bought a licence. Crashes were becoming a problem even with so few cars around. Roadcraft for motorcycles arrived many years later in the 1970's....

What do riders learn by experience - trial and error? What is not learned by experience, for which additional training is needed? Summary The DVSA data below indicates that it currently takes around 25 years, on average, for 80% of riders to master riding a motorcycle competently. Far too long?

Looking again at young rider fatalities and how they can be addressed. I started again, this time with pre-teen riders and Bikeability, supported by the Dft. We already know that there is a serious problem with PTW braking, so I asked them how they teach braking to young cyclists. Received an immediate response. Somebody cares. They are taught to ride covering their brakes, how to brake progressively, and particularly to avoid snatching the front brake....

(From Biral, Francesco & Lot, Roberto from 2009) So what does it mean for riders? The 'Fox's Ears' It means that you can accelerate the hardest at 45 degrees of lean, which seems odd, but have to roll back the throttle as your lean angle decreases and the front on the machine starts to lift. Riders need to be acutely aware of the dangers of 'High Siding'....

We've put this post together in response to recent media promoting trail braking on the road.
