No, it was the Provisional entilitlement on your licence, it used to last 2 years, now it lasts till ur 70, so you could just ride a 14hp all ur life on a CBT.

Since when have car drivers had to take a CBT? In a car? Eh? I'm confused Embarassed

sorry for being dim

I think in the past if you had a car license you could just jump onto either a 125 or a moped (can't remember which) with L plates without any kind of training.

MultiSync · Renault 5 Driver Joined: 05 May 2002 Karma :

The current car licence goes as follows:

If you got your full car licence before 2001 then you can ride a 50cc moped that doesnt go any faster than 31mph without a CBT, but displaying L plates.

If you past after 2001 (Feburary) then you need to take a CBT to ride any bike upto 125cc (14bhp)

CBT to drive a car, hehehe, would make car drivers see things from our point nof view!!! They used to be able to jump on a moped, but i thiught that now they had to do the CBT???

Ahhh now I understand. OK, if you took our Car test before February 2001 then you can ride a 50cc without Ls on your car liscence.
However, after this date you have to take a CBT to ride any bike/moped on Ls.

Would be a good idea for car drivers to at least have to do some of the CBT before they can drive on the road - would give them a better road sense and see things from our point of veiw.
