The DAS Licence (Category A) is for those aged 24 or over, or those who have held an A2 licence for at least two years.
The category A licence is an unrestricted motorcycle licence that you obtain by taking a Direct Access (DAS) course and test. A full motorcycle licence entitling you to ride any size of machine is gained through this course/tests. The Direct Access Scheme (DAS) allows riders aged 24 years old and over the option of receiving professional motorcycle training and taking the full motorcycle tests on a large motorcycle of over 595cc with a minimum power output of 40 kW. When you pass your DAS Licence you will have a full licence that allows you to ride any motorcycle of any size or power, as well as being able to ride a motorcycle with no L plates, carry a passenger, and also allowing motorway access.
