Expired 2nd prov. licence

BANNERMAN98

My 2nd provisional licence expired July 2012 and due to financial problems I haven't been in position to renew, also having to sell the scooter didn't help either. But now I've started a job which means before long i Can get back on the road even with a 50 cc will be something, my question is how long do I have to renew the licence before its gone completely and I have to re do the theory test and eyesight report

You have 5 years after expiry of your learner permit to renew it.
10 years after expiry of a full licence.

You have to apply for a test OP in order to recieve your 3rd LP. Plus you'll now have to do IBT in order to take the test as there is now new regulations.

if your FIRST provisional is pre-December 2010, which I'm guessing OP's is, there is no necessity for IBT afaik.
I'm in a similar situation, and trying to figure out exactly what is required at the moment; form what I can see myself & the OP just need to sit a test to get a full licence.

In answer to the bold wording :
Yes you can go ahead and do your test on a bike that is 25kw BUT if you pass, you will only get an A2 licence which is restricted to 35 kw.
You would be stuck with 35kw forever unless you got another learner permit in A unrestricted and then do the IBT.

To get an unrestricted licence, you have to do a test on an unrestricted bike.
To do that, you would have to get a new type learner permit in category A and then do the IBT (18 hrs).

Not with the new rules Davy, you'll get an A2. To get the full A you can't escape the IBT unfortunately whether it the full course or conversion module.

So I have to do the IBT regardless?

I applied for and unrestricted A licence. They sent back my application stating I have had two previous A licences and I need to apply for a driving test to get another one. I went back into the tax office to explain that I did not have Two previous licences. She stated yes you did, one in 2006 and 2009. I went on to explain that it was a restricted Provisional for up to a 125. Back then it was on my car licence (provisional). She is adamant that on the system I have had two previous unrestricted licences(2006 and 2009). Has to be clerical error who ever put it on the system. Contacted an RSA instructor states all I have to do is the test and don't need the IBT. Another instructor today to me I have to do the IBT. At this stage I am confused. HELP

If you've never done IBT and wish to have the full "A" then yes you'll have to do the IBT.
