  1. If you are learning on A or A2, you can not ride without a instructor. Yet I see people riding with L plates alone (in England)

  2. quick question, if you have a category B for years and going for category A, do you need to do a full theory test again or is it toned down with questions just for bike?

  3. Ha just noticed at the end of the video you driving through my area lol, you around Blanch? Could meet up for a chat, I would love to pick your brain about getting the licence 😀

  4. 6:00 great opportunity to do slalom with cones already there but you ignored it😁
    By the way Rhys it seems that in Ireland the slalom and u turn is not done in a car park like it is in Britain?
    Any chance of more detail about the actual road test? Emergency stop? U turn?

  5. After you have done your IBT – do you just need to display L plates, and how do you do that if so… or how do you communicate you don’t have a full lisence?

  6. I know this is 2yrs old, but this is an excellent walk through from start to finish. Thank you. Hope you're enjoying your riding.

  7. Hi bud, great vid! Qq, who confirms you passed your ibt? Does the instructor make the decision you are satisfactory and passes you so that you can then start driving under L and prepping for thebmain licence test in 6 months?

  8. Regarding heavier bikes, one advantage is that they can offer a bit more stability while riding and are less prone to getting blown about in the wind. I went from a Micael Blast Greaser ebike at 28kg to a 300cc scooter and the difference is very noticeable during adverse conditions. And I was very wary too that it would be to heavy for me to manage, but it was great. 😀

    Ofc, I still wouldn't get a bike that was too heavy for me to even lift but they teach you how to lift it properly in the IBT in the event it does fall over on you.
