NEW BIKE TEST SPECS CONFIRMED FOR JANUARY 2013 .
If you are aged 21 years and wish to do the current DAS Scheme, which will allow you to ride any CC motorcycle once you have passed your test, you only have the next 12 months (throughout 2012) before the test criteria changes. Once we hit January 2013 the age limit for the DAS course will be raised to 24 years old.
If you are 21, 22 and 23 years old you will need to complete your test in 2012 to beat the deadline before the age limit is increased to 24 years old.
Test must be passed before 31st December 2012 if you would like or are required to ride the larger capacity bikes.
Please do call the Ride-4-Life Team if you have any questions about the new test criteria: 01904 492928
