Theory test question

DEWF

So the DTT website is confusing me , I sat the theory test for car/work vehicles last week, my question is do I need to sit another for my Provisional Bike? as Ive tried to look up study material and they seem to be the same test if I'm not mistaken...

Hello
i sat a theory test to get my bike provisional in June
if you get a theory test DVD, there is a motorcycles category

cantdecide

Your BW Driver Theory Test won't cover you. You will have to go back and do the 'AM' DTT now.

Cheers guys , yeah I have the theory booked for march anyway.

just another question: seeing as Im nearly 20 and will probably want to move up to bigger bikes after a full licence is gotten what category would be best to go for? ,

Is the A2 the A provisional or are they different categories? , Considering something like a Nsr 125 as a first bike

Thanks again!

You need to be 24, to go straight for category A, but only 20 for progressive, once you qualified on a lower category.

At 19 or 20 you will get category 'A2', complete IBT, you can take a test after holding you permit for six months & if you get your full 'A2' & hold it for two years you will have to options to go for category 'A'.

Apply for category 'A' permit & then either complete IBT module 5 for category 'A' (no test required), or take a driving test for category 'A'.

Isn't this wiped if I've already had my first learner permit (BW) and have the 991 code already , or is it first for each category?

''All first time learner permit holders (code 991) are subject to the 6 month rule. This is how long you must wait from the date of issue before you can take your full test in that category''

cantdecide

The 99* notation will be specific to each learner category. Bear in mind that if you're on 993 for any category, the permit will be a 1 year permit for all categories on the permit regardless.

cool and one last question (I promise) ,

Was thinking 125 nsr or the likes but did some research and found I'd be able to drive a restricted bike (bros, cb400sf, 250 hornet), any advise on choosing? and I got quoted 1300 for an nsr125 with 0years no claims and 0 experience , would the insurance skyrocket for a bigger restricted bike do you think?

thanks very much for all the help!

Decide what kind of bike you want and start there. I love naked bikes. If you fancy something sporty then you won't have a world of options when you think about what you can actually get insurance on. Your tastes will change as you learn more and experience more. For example I wouldn't have had a supermoto or adventure bike in my way when I started.

As above, just go and look at bikes and sit on them and come up with a list of bikes and spend and hour or two ringing around about different types of bike until you find a good fit
