What you need to prepare for your CBT
To make sure you’re legally allowed to take your CBT and ride on the roads after, the most important thing you will need to bring is your valid UK provisional or full licence. Without this you will not be allowed to ride.
You don’t need to worry about buying a motorbike or scooter before your CBT - the training school will provide this for the day. If you do decide to use your own scooter or motorcycle, check it is fully insured, as not all insurance policies cover training, and make sure L plates are visible both front and rear.
Nor do you need to worry too much about protective clothing. Most CBT test centres will provide students with a helmet, jacket and gloves for the day, but call beforehand so you know what to expect.
Wear sturdy trousers - such as jeans - and sturdy footwear that covers the ankle. Your instructor may turn you away if he feels you are inadequately dressed. Check the weather the night before. If it looks like it’s going to be a cold or wet day, take an extra layer and some waterproofs, just in case. Of course if you already own your own protective equipment and would prefer to use that then that’s completely fine.
