Learner licence expiry (6L) - two different expiry dates

[Michaelt]

my understanding is that you can continue to renew your learner or restricted licence when they expire. You don't have to go back to scratch. There was an announcement two days ago, that said that learner and restricted licences will have a final time to reach the next stage, and if you haven't moved on to the next stage, then you will lose that licence.
Hasn't come in yet though.
Gn250 is a great bike, but again is underpowered on the motorway. A 400 or 500 is more stable and suited for motorway work.
As someone else said, get some training before your restricted.
Worth it. I have a school bike gn250 that you could use whilst training.

That was my understanding as well, however everyone else here seems to disagree. It also doesn't make sense in that case for the learner licence to have a different expiry date from the licence card itself.

How much would it cost to use your school bike GN250 for training (and the restricted licence exam)?

[Tricia1000]

It would depend on how much training you needed.. Give me a call, and we can discuss it. 0800 4 LESSON

my license was due to expire a few years back with 6l and 1.when they renewed both dates are the same and the 6l has now been on there for 12 years,like others have said though they are due to bring in time limits i believe

[Tricia1000]

Yup, no current time limit to complete to restricted or full licence, and no idea of when an expiry will be implemented. I know students who have been on their 6L for 20 years!!!!

I still don't understand them why my 6L has an expiry date earlier than the licence card itself.

Tricia, I'll give you a call later. I won't be able to start anything until mid-May at the earliest anyway.
