ok ive just trawled dvla website and direct gov to find out the law on riding on a cbt and motorways.
no learners wether be-it car or bike is allowed on a motorway,
but i cant find any text to say what the punishment is if any so. . .
can i ride on a motorway without a full licence and get away with it or what?

At a guess, I'd say this;

Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence

£1,000 (fine)
Discretionary (Disqualification)
3-6 (points)

I wouldn't bother Thumbs Up

ok i see that, however on a cbt your still a 'learner'.
in a car a learner has to be accompanyed by a experienced/qualified instructor who will have passed a theory test,but a cbt holder has done know theory or accopanyment so can plead ignorance. surely

I definately wouldn't advise it, but I suppose you could ride a motorway without the relevant licence, but you can expect to have the book thrown at you if you got caught, and/or involved in an accident...

I checked a few sites, and the concensus seems to be 3-6 points, up to £1000 fine, a discretionary disqualification
Offence code LC20 - Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence £1,000 Discretionary disqualification 3-6 points

edit : bomberman just beat me to it Thumbs Up

no that babys still in the shed, picking up a new bike 94 rg 125.

its not really worth it for the sake of extra 10 miles to go round, but was unclear as to what might happen if i did try it.

In addition to all that has been said, the highway code usually does state the laws:

ok i think i weill be giving it a miss then, it was only for one junction but still dont matter if its one or 100,
silly fucking law i think as you cant learn to ride/drive on one but as soon as you pass your qualified?! horse shit
the only way to learn is experience.

I'll play the devils advocate here. While I am inclined to agree with Mike on the Motorway being a dual carriage way and not much more, actually being on one is a whole different ball game and to be honest. I have been on a Motorway on my old 125CC and it is not something I wish to repeat ever again.

I had to take a trip up the A3 and then onto the M25 onto the A1(M) and the M25 is a scary place on a bike with sod all power. The legal limit for vechicles on a motorway is 70MPH and I dont think a single one of the drivers on there do anything less than 80. Getting passed by Mr white van man while he's doing 120 and your stuck doing 55 behind a truck is a pretty hair raising thing.

125CC bikes do not belong on there and personally I should be thankful that on L plates you cannot ride on them. On any bike they are dangerous places but on a 125 its almost suicide.

I took my old 125cc on a couple of 60mile motorway trips (with my full license) and didnt seem to have any scary moments. I did have to sit behind some slow moving lorries whilst going up hill, but with some carefully planned over takes I was fine.

The only thing I didnt like about it was keeping the engine running at full power for over an hour, thing was screaming Laughing

The last thing we need is L plated ped bois with 51cc "motorcycles" clogging up motorways.

Want to use a motorway? Prove you can ride by taking your test. If it is only one junction then the adjacent country road way can't be far.

Hi

Seems that they are thinking of letting learner car drivers use the motorways (with a qualified instructor and dual controls):-

All the best

I did it a couple of times when I was still on a CBT, only for one extra junction after it turned from an A road into a motorway, was just going to say I missed my turning if I got stopped and go off at the next junction, although they were less than a mile apart.

Wouldn't risk it for anything more or on a regular basis though.
