Is this true??

Yesterday I overhead a conversation that went a little like this.......

"It is legal to ride anything under a 50cc that has a MOT and insurance without a CBT or "L" plates"

Well thats the gist of it.

Is this true, I dont think it can be otherwise a 49cc scoot, commonly known as a 50 would be legal with no CBT, which would mean plenty of 16 yr olds need not bother.

Cheers

I was thinking it was bollocks myself.

I think it might have been at one point. You used to be able to ride autocycles at 14 years old without even having them registered. An autocycle I think had to be able to be moved by pedals and have a maximum design speed of less than 15mph.

They now count as mopeds though, same rules apply.

It's not valid now, but if you got your full car license before Feb 2001, then you are entitled to ride a moped without CBT and L-plates...if you got your car license after 2001, then you'll need a CBT, but you won't need L-plates.
