I have a provisional A licence??

somefeen

I went in today to get my provisional D licence. I asked your one if I could stick the provisional CE on there at the same time.
She checked the records and apparently I was also able to get a provisional A on there to?
I last had a provisional A when I was 18 I think, about 13 years ago now. Is this possible or has she made some mistake?
I do have A on my licence but with the 79.03 restriction, so its basically a trike licence.
This would be kind of handy since I was thinking of getting back into bikes anyway.

As I understand it since I've got the trike licence I would only need to do the progression module of IBT to go up to full A. Is that right?

Thanks for any help or clarification you guys might have.

Yes 79.03 is a trike license only. No bikes at all.

You will only need to do the IBT and pass your test to get a full trike license.

Progression modules or for if you passed your test on say A2 and now are old enough to get an A license you can do a progression module instead of another test.

I'm sure you'll have to apply for a bike theory test to remove the 79.03. Then do the IBT.

If OP did his original theory test 13 years ago then he possibly won't have to do it for the bike depending on when in 06 he did the original one.

I discovered this on boards. Pity I'd bought the feckin app before doing a search.

On further investigation, youre right I would have to do the full IBT course. Dunno about the 79.03 restriction on the provisional thats coming. I'll see when it gets here.

It might have been 05 actually now that I think of it, or even 04. I think I did two theory tests even though A and B were the same back then. I did one for A and then another for B and it turned out I didnt need to.

The easiest thing to do is call the RSA. I'd to call them before and they didn't have the information to hand, got a call back about 30 minutes later with the info.

Genuinely curious do any of you ever get stopped while out on a bike and asked to produce licence or paperwork - other than at a standard checkpoint.. Can't remember the last person on a bike I seen pulled over by the gardai

I've been stopped a couple times the last year, asked to produce license every time.

Depends on one's riding style

Was only ever asked once in my life on a bike, it was 16 years ago and I was acting the eejit!

There's none or very little Garda around these days.
