L Plates on Hi Viz Jackets
From 1 December 2007, motorcyclists with learner (or current provisional motorcycle driving licences) will be required to display L-plates on a yellow flourescent high visability tabard. (A tabard is a bib or sleeveless outer garment with open side-seams). The letter 'L' must be at least 15cm in heigh on a white background and must be to the front and rear of your torso. It will be a criminal offence for learner motorcyclists not to display L plates from that date.

A and A1 testsIf you pass the test on a bike up to and including 125cc then you will only receive a full A1 licence. This will not entitle you to ride a larger cc bike under that full licence. If you pass the test on a bike more than 150cc you will receive a full A licence which will entitle you to ride any cc bike that does not exceed a certain power for a period of two years. After two years, the restriction will automatically be lifted and you will be able to ride any motorcycle you choose. Both these tests are identical. It is advisable however, if you're over 18 years old to sit the test on a 250cc or larger cc manual bike as you will not have to take the same test again. |

Manual or Twist'n'Go
If you pass the test on an automatic twist 'n' go bike then you will have a restriction placed on your licence, this will not entitle you to ride a manual bike under that full licence. If you do decide to move to a manual bike then you will have to sit the same test again on a manual bike.
