Direct access scheme (DAS)

Direct access is a scheme which allows a person over the age of 21 to avoid the two year/25 kW restriction by taking a test on a machine of at least 35 kW (46.6 bhp). A pass allows you to ride any size of motorbike (i.e. 1000cc Honda).

Any instruction given on a machine that exceeds the normal learner motorcycle specification must be supervised at all times by a certified motorcycle instructor who should be in radio contact. You should also wear fluorescent or reflective clothing and follow all other provisional license restrictions.

Accelerated access

Riders who reach the age of 21, while still within the two year period where they are restricted to a maximum 25 kW (33 bhp) machine, but who wish to ride larger bikes need to pass a further test on a motorcycle of at least 35 kW (46.6 bhp). They may practice on bikes over 25 kW (33 bhp) under the same practice conditions for direct access riders.

You will revert to learner status while practicing (on a motorcycle greater than 25 kW (33 bhp)) although test failure will not affect your existing license.
