Thanks for the info. Just a fair warning though, at the point you start advertising your business for profit on this site is when you cross the line into advertising. And the site owners like to be paid for advertising.

Ah come on, he is only answering a few questions. You asked him for the details and I asked for a price, if there was a problem a mod could have dealt with it.

Let's leave the modding to the mods, thanks.

Kids please try to play nice.

Roadskill

Lets just say I will answer any questions the best I can without purposely advertising.
If I mention my web site at any time it will be because the info someone requires is on there and relevant to the question.

The mods can let me know if that is ok.

Second bullet point here under 'How to Apply' seems to imply you can, as long as its not lapsed over 10 years

Hi HB

Wossack is correct but 10 years is for a full licence. After 10 years you would have to take your test again. If you only held a provisional then after 5 years you will have to do the theory test again to get it back. If CBT is in by the time you apply then yes you will have to do it.

If your full B licence is after 2004 then them M catagory will not be on it anymore. The M, A1 & A are all on the seperate motorcycle theory test.

Hi Folks.

Sorry to drag this thread up again, but It's more appropriate than starting a new thread I guess!

As earlier stated in this thread, I'm looking at getting into motorcycling.

I had a claim in 2007 for a car accident.

Does/Will this affect my bike insurance? Does the potential future insurer of my (future) bike need to know about this?

Thanks again guys!

Yes, you have to inform them.

Cool thanks, do you know if it would have much bearing on the motorcycle quote?
