riding a moped - car driving license

[TJ91]

my sister is 21, she is wanting a 125cc moped as a cheap run about for commuting (3 mile each way)

can she ride a 125 ped after passing her driving test or does she have to do CBT aswell??

[mysterious_rider]

she needs a CBT.

if she does the cbt and rides a 50cc, she can ride it for life without renewing.

If she rides a 125, she will have to renew it every 2 years.

The whole riding a 50cc on a car license is only if you have a full car license dated before 1st Feb 2001.

If you want to ride a moped and you got your car license after that date, you'll either need a cbt every 2 years or a full bike test.

To do a cbt you will also need minimum a provisional license.

Thats how I understand it anyway

Weird, this is all news to me.

The quoted bit reads as the CBT validates the moped entitlement but, since a CBT does expire could that not be read as you need a valid CBT to validate the moped entitlement?

And the no L plates bit surprises me too. Doesn't concern me but it does seem there is some confusion over the matter. golly!

I don't know how many times we've gone over this on this forum


A car licence after 2001 + CBT DOES allow you 50cc for the life of your car licence with no L's.

CBT only expires on motorcycles above 50cc if you have a car licence of any year. It states clearly this on the back of the CBT certificate.
