General Question...

[.Kencs]

I currently work shifts at work, and no-one likes a certain shift which I dont mind doing, I just hate the hour it takes to get home at 11pm when walking through town so want to get a mo-ped so I can offer to work all the late shifts, and I get an extra 15% on my daily wage when I do this shift, so my question:

If I have a full UK driving licence, can I ride a mo-ped (upto a certain CC) without having to take a CBT or do I have to have a CBT regardless?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Depends when you got your license, IIRC.

Like how my mum has van/minibus entitlement but I haven't.

Got my license in 2006...

In that case (as your license was given after 2001) you'll need to do a CBT before you can ride it without L plates, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

cbt if you have nevee ridden regardless its basic training and worth it

I may do this as I'd like to learn the way of the biker one day, any idea how much it costs?

 

[Captain_Slick]

Wasn't that expensive when I did mine. About £100 for a full day including all rental. Depends on your area though.

You still need L plates on a CBT.

In that case, I stand corrected

Your CBT will only last 2 years too IIRC, or is it 3?

Two.

Can you tell me what letters are on the back of your current license? If you have P you can ride a motorcycle

Engine capacity must not exceed 50 cc and the maximum design speed must not exceed 50 km/h (31 mph) and wont need L plates.

I passed my car test in 05 and can ride them, and did so before I got my full unrestricted bike license

To do a CBT its about £100 and lasts you for 2 years
