Default Bike license, same theory test as the car license?

Im wanting to do my bike license before my CBT expires. Im wanting to know if I need to do another theory test for the bikes or can I just go ahead and use the one I did for my car license. If I dont need to do a seperate one then this speeds things up for me a great deal

Any tips/advice would be appreicated

No, you have bike-specific questions. I nearly missed mine because I couldn't find the test centre

PS Get the Hazard Perception video to realise just how anal the DVLA is about potential hazards (i.e. wet yourself about any object on or feature of any road)!

I wasn't aware they were different.

I thought if you passed your test after a certain date you didn't need to do it? (I had to because I am ancient )

There are bike-specific questions such as tyre tread depth
and things that need checking before using your bike:

Brakes
Oils
Lights
Tyres
Suspension

Don't remember doing that at all.

18 months is a very long time though
