Hello
I was wondering can you carry a pillion on a 50 or a 125 on your car license? A friend told me that you can but I dont know.
Cheers
Rik

Depends when your car license was gained. If after roughly the year 2000 then definitely not. You would need to take your bike test to carry pillions.

Found this hop it helps.

from https://www.autecwales.co.uk/motorcycles/law.shtml

Quote:

Full Car Licence

If you passed a cat test before 1 February 2001, you are automatically entitled to ride a moped without taking CBT (although it is recommended that you do if you). If you passed a car test on or after that date, you will still receive a moped riding course before riding on the road.

Your full car licence also gives you provisional motorcycle entitlement - you may ride as a learner with L-plates.

You MUST not carry pillion passengers or use motorways.

Hi

My understanding is that a full car licence from before that date gave you a FULL moped licence, and so you could carry a pillion on it.

That quote reads to me that the provisional motorcycle entitlement (from a car licence) does not allow you to ride a motorcycle on the motorway or with a pillion.

That said, inexperienced rider on a slowped witha pillion sounds like a recipe for disaster.

All the best

Keith
