Theory test question

Roomic Cube

Question for ye,

Is the theory test for the A/A1 Bike Provisional the same as the B Car Provisional?

I ask because I want to apply for the A provisional, I however hold a full B license and have already completed the theory test for that. (about 3 years ago)

So either 1. The tests are different and I'll do it and then get the A prov.
2. The tests are the same but I'll still have to do it to apply for the A.
3. I can just apply for the A provisional straight away.

I just dont wanna throw away money on the test again if I'm not required to.

no its different, it includes the b licence section and also the A licence section.....

Its a different licence so its a different theory test....

Roomic Cube

ok cool thanks, I'll be applying for another test so!

eurofoxy

no bother, anything else just ask around there are loads of people here who will help....
I have only started on bikes myself am hoping to do the test in september so am new to the game...

id ring and ask if you have an A provisional already. i did my theory test in nov last year and my new prov license says ive held it since 06 and its my second prov!!

it must have been on my first prov and i didnt realise. if i had rang i might have saved myself doing the test again...maybe

Same happened to me, when i was 18 i thought it would be cool to have a bike provisional even though i had no intention of getting a bike.. turned out when i got my bike licence at 26 i was actually applying for my third bike provisional and had to apply for my test before they would give me one!

pretty annoying isnt it!

They should hand you back a green and pink in that case so you know you still have a prov :mad:

I have the 2007 rules of the road book, and theres the box for the 4th edition test disc (disc must be somewhere) as my sister only recently passed the test for her B provisional.

So I'll have a gander at that test disc when I find it, see if much has changed.

Will do chief! Do you have a year in mind? Or colour? What kinda budget you workin with?

Roomic Cube

The budget is under a grand if possible, early/mid 90's would be fine, anything over 00 pushes the price into 1500 - 2,000 territory!

Colours not too important at the moment! :P
