No, it's piss easy. My mate fell off his moped whilst doing his and still passed.
Costs about Ł100 I think

Cbt is just a training day you cant really fail it.
well you could but you'd have to be a total tard. There is no test the instructors just make sure you are confident enough.

Wrong time of the year really Ste, you get all the bad bits of biking and none of the good unless you get a random nice weekend.

I did the CBT at 16, easiest thing ever. At the place where I did the training for my full test they said they've only ever had one person fail it, and that's because they went the wrong way round a roundabout That's the level of idiocy required to fail

Hi DaveWES
Only bad thing with CBT is you'll buy a 125 and after about a week be bored and want something better

I've passed it twice now and a third time (without a certificate) because my girlfriend was doing it and he let me hop on a bike and do it too.
It's very easy, "compulsary basic training" - ie: not a test, as long as you're not very dangerous etc then you pass

Yeah fair point. They're not bad for getting around on though as a secondary form of transport. At 17/18 I had a 125 for going to college on and getting to work, college was about 15 miles each way. I was thinking recently about getting a 400 or something for going to work on, but I can't afford it and have nowhere to put it at the mo
