LicencesProvisional moped licence You can only hold a provisional licence if you are at least 16 years old. It entitles you to ride a moped on the road as a learner with L-plates (D-plates in Wales). You MAY NOT carry pillion passengers or use motorways. Your provisional licence is only valid while you hold a current DL196 certificate issued by an Approved Training Body to show that you have completed a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course. CBT certificates are valid for two years from the date of issue. A CBT certificate obtained on a moped is also valid for motorcycles once you have reached the age of 17 years and have the necessary provisional licence. Provisional moped licences are valid until age 70. Full moped licence A full moped licence (obtained after passing a moped test) automatically gives you provisional motorcycle entitlement. However, you must be at least 17 years old to take up the provisional entitlement. Provisional motorcycle licence You can only hold this licence if you are at least 17 years old. It entitles you to ride a moped or a motorcycle as a learner with L-plates. You may practice unaccompanied on a learner motorcycle after you have completed a CBT course. You MAY NOT carry pillion passengers or use motorways. For larger machines the Direct Access accompanying rider rules apply. Provisional motorcycle licences are valid until age 70. Full car licence If you passed a car test before I February 2001, you are automatically entitled to ride a moped without L-plates and without taking CBT (although it is recommended that you do take the course). If you passed a car test on or after that date, you will still receive full moped entitlement but will need to complete CBT before riding on the road. The CBT certificate issued to you is then valid for the duration of your car driving licence while riding a moped only. Your full car licence also gives you provisional motorcycle entitlement. If you did not apply for provisional (category A) motorcycle entitlement at the time you applied for your car licence your driving licence may not show this provisional entitlement. In that case you will need to obtain a new licence from DVLA (using form D I) before taking CBT and riding on the roads for the first time. After you have completed CBT you may ride a learner motorcycle with L-plates. You MAY NOT carry pillion passengers or use motorways. For larger machines the Direct Access accompanying rider rules apply. |
