A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF LICENSING REQUIREMENTS
- Firstly you must obtain a licence, forms are available at most Post Offices and at http://www.dvla.gov.uk
- At 16 you can ride a moped up to 50cc after passing a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) course. You must display L-Plates and are Not allowed to carry a pillion passenger.
- At 17 you can ride a motorcycle up to 125cc. You must have a CBT certificate, display L-Plates, and you are Not Allowed to carry a passenger.
- Riders holding a full car license before 01/02/2001 are permitted to ride a 50cc moped on the road without taking a CBT. With a CBT, they can ride up to a 125cc. Full car licence holders issued after 01/02/2001 must complete a CBT for both 50cc moped and a 125cc motorcycle.
- A CBT certificate is valid for two years.
- The CBT will have to be retaken if both theory and practical tests are not passed within two years.
- Once you have successfully completed a CBT, you have your certificate (DL196), you can carry on to take additional training to pass your test and qualify for a full motorcycle licence. You will also be required to take a theory test.
- Riders under the age of 21 are not permitted to ride a motorcycle with more than 33bhp, and are required to take the Standard Test on a 125cc motorcycle. They must then wait 2 years before riding an unrestricted bike.
