Direct Access

Requirements

You must:

•   hold a provisional or full UK Licence

•   have category 'a' listed on the counterpart of your licence

•   have passed a motorcycle theory test

•   hold a current CBT Certificate

•   be 21 years old or over

Once you have satisfied these conditions you can take your Direct Access (DAS) test.

This will allow you to:

•   ride any size of motorcycle

•   you can remove the "L" plates

•   travel on motorways (as long as your bike meets the legal criteria)

•   carry a pillion passenger

Training

The training is usually carried out on our Kawasaki ER500 bikes but can be carried out on your own bike as long as it is roadworthy and meets all the legal requirements.

Riverview carries out training 7 days a week and can arrange training to suit your work schedule.  We even carry out training in the evenings during the summer months.

Ideally the training is undertaken as a course as over the years we have discovered this to be the easiest, quickest and safest way to learn.  Each training day commences at 9am and finishes around 3.30/4.00pm.

Direct Access (Big Bike Test)

There are 2 modular tests to take:

MOD 1 - 11 manoeuvres at a DSA test station

MOD 2 - 40-45 minutes road ride rest

We have pre-booked tests at Kirkham, Blackburn, Blackpool, Atherton and St Helens.
