Do you want to ride a scooter or a bike but do not have a license for that? Go for DSA and CBT test to get one. Read on to know more about the details of these tests. People who are getting a new license for a scooter on public roads will need to complete Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) and this is also a requirement before you move on to taking your full motorbike test should you choose to. You'll also need a provisional driving license before you begin your CBT test in Birmingham and this will need to be shown prior to your training.

You'll need to complete the stage you're on before you can move onto the next one and you'll need to pass a basic sight test before you even begin. What you need to do is read a standard license plate from 20 meters away- you are allowed glasses if you need them- and if you cannot do this you will not be allowed to complete the test at all. It's the only part of the test you are not allowed to re-take on the day.Your introduction is classroom based and introduces basic road safety and how you should act on the roads. If you own your own motorbike and you're of the legal age to ride it, ...
... you can bring that to train on, though remember if you're under 17 you can only ride a 50cc scooter.

The off road training involves an introduction to the main parts of the bike and how everything works, and if you're using a manual the gears and the clutch are introduced. You'll then start to walk with the bike and then you'll finally get to learn how to ride it. This off road segment of the CBT test in Birmingham involves driving at different speeds and then moves on to how to act at junctions and how to turn and it also covers stopping and starting as well as how to do an emergency stop.

If you pass all of the other sections you'll be allowed onto the real road later in the day and you'll have a radio headset so the instructor can speak to you. Calmness is the key as your first time on the road on a 125cc motorbike may be a little daunting and these compulsory two hours on the road after your basic training will help you practice your moves from the off road sections of the training. When you pass your CBT, you get a DL196 certificate which is valid for two years. This means you can ride on the road as a learner and allows you to take your full motorbike practical and theory test when you wish. So go for DSA Lessons in Birmingham and get your hands on the license.
