L drivers everywhere

Viscount Aggro

Whats the story with all of the food delivery bikers?

Everyone of them is a learner with L-plates.

Is this legal or what?

I don't think it's illegal. They need the correct level of policy to cover business use, but it's unlikely they all have it. Remember that many of the delivery drivers have licenses from other places that aren't transferable to Ireland, so they need to start again. Also they bring me food sometimes, which is a great social benefit.

What's the story with all the deja vu?

I am an L driver with a box on my bike. But I do not deliver food. So, maybe you're seeing L drivers and not all of them may be food delivery people.

On the flip side...

Many of the food delivery people who deliver to me are from Brazil, (at least going by their names). It's just that Brazilians need to restart the licensing process from scratch, irrespective of their experience. And a few other countries like India etc. So plenty of experienced riders are stuck in an unfortunate situation waiting for tests.

Sorry to hijack the thread but is there any decent learner theory test apps for bike drivers?

I have one for the car theory test but need one for bikes as the car test is not relevant to me.

10 month wait for a test doesn't help

if it’s the rsa app you can change it to be for bike or car depending on what you are studying for!

That's OK. I have both done and passed now. Just need to get all the lessons done and get back on the road :) so I do not have to be relying on stupid uncomfortable buses.

Am half way there. Have done some IBT already. Just need some more before getting out on the road on a bike :)
