Full Licence

GETTING YOUR FULL LICENCE (6F)
The Full Licence (CBTA 6F) is the final step in your licensing pathway. It shows that you have developed the skill, awareness, and confidence to safely navigate a wide range of real-world riding conditions. The CBTA 6F assessment is designed to ensure you are ready to ride without restrictions.
You are eligible to book your CBTA 6F assessment after holding your Restricted Licence for a minimum of nine months. Keep in mind that you must complete the full 12-month restricted period before applying for your Full Licence.

ABOUT THE ASSESSMENTÂ
The CBTA Full Licence assessment checks that you can ride confidently, safely, and independently in real-world traffic conditions. During the test, an approved instructor will follow you on the road while you demonstrate key on-road skills, including:
-
Looking:Â Keeping your eyes up, scanning ahead, and identifying potential road hazards early.
-
Scanning & Mirrors: Checking your rear-view mirrors and always before braking or changing position.
-
Head Checks: Performing a physical glance over your shoulder (blind-spot check) when you change your road position or turn.
-
Communication: Using indicators correctly at least three seconds before making a move and cancelling them promptly afterward.
-
Positioning: Riding in the correct lane track to maximize your visibility and safety margin.
-
Speed Management: Maintaining a smooth, legal speed that matches the traffic flow and weather conditions.
-
Progression: Moving through traffic decisively without unnecessary hesitation or stalling at intersections.
-
Stability & Smoothness: Showing smooth control over the clutch, throttle, and brakes, especially during low-speed turns and stopping.
-
Following Distance: Keeping a safe two-second gap behind vehicles in good conditions, and a four-second gap in the wet.
Passing the CBTA Full Licence test means you have proven you can ride safely without restrictions and are ready for the final stage of your motorcycle licencing journey.
