Direct
Access (DAS)
The Direct
Access Scheme (DAS) has been introduced to allow those aged
twenty-one or over to take a test on a large motorcycle of
at least 35kW (46.6bhp). Having passed your test you can
ride any capacity motorcycle of your choice. Depending
upon your experience you could pass your test in 6 days
(Novice) or as little as 3 days. Whichever you choose we can
be quite flexible in our approach and can spread the course
out to suit your needs. We take care
of everything, from bike hire to test booking. You don't
need to worry about anything, there are no hidden costs or
insurance excess for you to worry about. |
