Confused over getting permit

davedrave

Howye lads and lassies , recently been browsing this forum as im soon to be getting my learners permit (and getting insured on a suzuki gz125)

My question is:
If I have a permit to drive a car, do i still need to get an eyesight report for a bike permit? Ive read similar questions on boards, but they were regarding having a FULL B license

ALSO, do i lose my car permit when i get a bike permit? (only a side issue really, as im going to be selling the car soon enough-too expensive!)

Thanks in advance

Don't think you need an eyesight report, I didn't when I got my bike licence last week although its been less than a less since I got my full car licence so maybe that played a role.

No, you'll still have a car and a bike permit.

No, your original B permit had the eye test, you are not required to do another.

Yes and no. They will ask for it there at the office and take it away. You will receive your permit back shortly with both car and bike on it. If it was to expire soon you will still receive it back with the expiry date the same.

On top of that, when you get either your full bike or car license in order to keep the original permit you need to fill out a renewal form with the full license application in order to get back you permit.

How much is your insurance on the Swift?

If it is cheap, you might think of holding on to it .

Let us knoe when you are sorted.

1200 third party vs 400 for the bike.

Ah, sure - give up the Swift then. Not worth throwing money away.

He was either being sarcastic or he's stupid. I would go with the first.

At least he didn't sign off his post with 'cptr
