CBT quick questions

[IC3]

1. Can a person take CBT 3 months before his b'day?
2. Only doing provisional license (riding with L plates) can you go on the highway?
3. The provisional license is up for 2 years, after this period when 19 can you go on to do A2?

1. You have to be minimum 16 for CBT on a 50cc and 17 for 125cc.
2. You can go on dual carriage ways, not motorways I believe.
3. Not sure, laws have changed since I did it. Someone else will be able to tell you. But either way, the CBT still needs to be valid when you do the bigger tests.

1. Yeah I know this already, but my friend is doing her license now and its like 2 months and 2 weeks away from her 17th birthday, so I just wondered if its this same with CBT.
2. Oh well
3. Ok, lets see what others say.

You can do a CBT before you're 17 (50cc only) then when 17 you can do the A1 for 125 cc.

You're CBT will last 2 years, after that time do the A1 test or retake the CBT.

Yep no motorways.

But can I take CBT for 125cc 2-3 months before my birthday just like e.g. Car license?

Normally, no, but disabled people can take it at 16.

How is this making any sense?
I need something to travel... I would look a bit weird on moped as I'm over 6 foot tall.

Is helmet, jacker and gloves enough? Or do I need to have protective trousers, shoes as well? The L plate is quite large because of the white background, I've seen some people from my college having the 'L plate' without the white background. Can the reg be smaller like the one on the picture

?
