Deepest apologies if this is in the wrong place. I passed my A2 test a little over a year ago. I have not done my car test so I am only licensed to ride bikes. My license is pink. I’m trying to sort out some temporary insurance so I can practice in my mother’s car, but on Admirals website it asks for my license type. What should I put from these four options?
Full GB Manual
Full GB Automatic
Provisional
Outside GB. (I know it’s not this one lol)

Anyone able to give me some advice here? I’m never quite sure whether I have a full GB license or not.

Admiral want to know what license you have in relation to the vehicle that you want to insure with them. So given that you have an A2 bike license and not passed a car test, then in relation to insuring a car you have a provisional. The other options are all different versions of full car license, ie what you would get after passing a test.

You will only be provisional for the car.

I’m sure you know you will need to be accompanied by a suitably experienced full car license holder and also that you will have to do the car hazard perception test even though you will have already done the bike one.

Awesome. Thanks for that guys. I’m glad it’s provisional because the cost is cheaper that way. Yes I do know I have to have a suitably licensed person with me. Do I just have to do the hazard perception, or the full theory (both multiple choice and hazard perception)?

I think it will be all the computer based testing.

Going for a bike license with an existing full car license needs the full works.

Okay, fair enough if it is. I suppose some questions are different. Like tire tread for instance.

Y’know what, I was waiting for someone to pull me up on that. But I’m at the point of if my phone doesn’t correct me, I’m not too bothered. Lol
