    So I passed my A test, feel pretty good
    And
    now I dont have to wear the L plates anymore, plus can drive on the motorway which will be more convenient for crossing the city at times.

    I know there are restrictions based on power for 2 years but other than that,
    a thought came into my head about bikes with sidecars, the A should cover that presumably?
    I dont have a sidecar :) just an idea.

    edit, quick check on RSA, yes A does cover sidecars :)

    Thanks, just reading over old motorbike threads I posted in , I should have asked them to add M to my licence too.
    Another poster mentioned that in differant thread, he thought it'd be handy if ever abroad if getting a scooter/moped, that it'd be easier to have it than explaining A covers M.
    Not hanging about to get it added to the licence so its already in the works, i'll see, but it probably depends on who you get at the desk.

    Think I'll head back out for a spin :)

    Nice one! Did mine in May...no major change for me as I didn't wear the L-hi-viz, or avoid the motorway! Very good feeling though...

    They didn't do the M for me either. I suppose they should have seeing as they do W (tractors) for your car licence (B)...and A1, even though A covers A1. So why not M?

    Well technically, I didnt avoid the motorway either on a few occasions, only 2 or 3 I'd say, just meant stopping and folding up my L bib :).

    I've been driving cars for years, but I do find it odd that at least after a certain amount of L driving experience on any vehicle (possibly not at peak times) as an intro to a motorway in cars or bikes during the Learner stage that it isn't actually a requirement, but thats just my opinion, not an issue for me now.

    Must look and find that thread that people arrange spins around the place, see if there are any local to me for the odd run.
