Hi

Can you still ride a moped on a car licence or is there now a specific test to take?

thanks

CBT = Compulsory Basic training

I think Compulsory, in CBT answers your question 😉

if you passed your full driving licence before Feb 2001 you don't

ok, thanks.

Though doing CBT would make a lot of sense anyway, unless you already know how to ride (and I don't just mean how to work a bike, but how to actually survive 😉 )

Chapter and verse…

Note the bits about engine size and speed… a 125 scooter isn't a moped.

I'd highly recommend some training as well. Riding any form of bike requires a few more things to think about than driving a car, although as a cyclist you'll be doing most of them anyway.

yeah moped is only 50cc though remember!

I passed my driving test before Feb 2001 and ride a 50cc on my driving licence – you can even carry a pillion! Although I went ahead and did a CBT so that I could do my big bike licence and I'd highy recommend doing it even if you don't do the bike test. I wished I'd done it ages ago when I started riding my 50cc.

Is for my girlfriend so some training is defo a good idea 🙂

You can drive a wide track Gilera Fuego or an MP3 LT on a car licence. Might be worth a look.

those fuocos and mp3s always seem to be ridden by idiots
