CBT
- Compulsory Basic Test
CBT or Compulsory
Basic Training is required before a learner rider is
allowed to ride a motorcycle on the road with L-plates.
The aim of the CBT
is to give a new motorcyclist some theoretical and practical
experience and training before they are permitted to
ride on the road. In the past before the introduction
of CBT it was possible to ride a motorcycle on the road,
with L-plates, without any knowledge of the laws relating
to the road and in some cases without even knowing how
to ride a motorcycle. This approach led to a high accident
rate amongst novice motorcyclists - Something had to
change. A different testing procedure was introduced
but learner riders were still able to take to the road
without any real knowledge or ability. The two part
test worked no better than the old system - Something
else had to be tried. Some individuals were aware of
a Compulsory Basic Training course that riders in Japan
had to undergo before they were allowed out on the road,
and they lobbied the Government here to do the same.
After a period of time the authorities agreed that it
might be worth trying a similar scheme in this country.
Therefore CBT was
introduced to give new riders instruction and information
on safe riding.

continue beyond CBT if you want, passing the theory
test and training on a 125cc
motorcycle until you pass the practical test, or,
if you are 21 or over you can continue your training
on a larger motorcycle under the Direct
