Full A-License, what about B...?
 

:Dhi, guys :cool:
I wondered, if I have full A license, do I have to repeat theory test for car and pay again for it?? or can I just go for B practical test...~???
I have to buy additional transport (car), for private reasons.....:o
(this is why im interested of doing B license hehe)
But, don't worry I still stay with bikes....;)

THANKS

Re: Full A-License, what about B...?
 

My understanding is the theory tests are class specific, so you will need to do the car one despite having a full bike licence

Re: Full A-License, what about B...?
 

nope you need to do a theoryas they are different. Had a full B for years when done my bike test still had to d oa theory for it.

Re: Full A-License, what about B...?
 

The above is true.

Yes and no...

Having just gone through the pain a learning to drive 4 wheels I enquired with the DVLA to be sure and was told that:

Fortunately my licence was issued before 2001. Unfortunately my B1 entitlement mysteriously vanished, so I had to waste my time doing the Theory and Hazard Perception tests.

hmm intresting that the car and bike thory test that i took in april ask car and bike questions and my GF thats doing her car test got exactly the same lot of questions that i did also the hazard preception is exactly the same

That's ****ing ridiculous, you would have thought someone that's read the highway code in the last 8 years would be exempt from doing a repeat theory test not the other way round!

I had to do 2 theory tests within months of each other one for car one for bike and on the bike test there was one question different (motorbike related). Another £50 to the DSA :rolleyes:

Re: Full A-License, what about B...?
 

I've done both the theory and hazzard perception tests for the car licence and bike licence...and suprise suprise it seemed all the same to me!

Re: Full A-License, what about B...?
 

Surprisingly the hazard perceptions are the same too, according to the DSA motorcycle rider's and car drivers have exactly the same hazards to consider :rolleyes:
Word to the wise though I got nearly full marks on the hazards perception whilst drunk - only just scraped a pass while sober.
:drink: ;)
