Hi all this is my first post on this forum I just wanted to double check if my driving license entitles me to riding this on my car license and current entitlements

Can I ride this having never done a UK motorbike exam or CBT however I do have bike riding experience but just not in the UK ?

Will I have to use L plates?

According to my license it states that I have a full A category but restricted to category 79 which is tricycles the date shown does that mean it’s the date that I should put on my insurance policy?

Any help and guidance is much appreciated[/img]

You can use that thing on a car licence.

No L plates, its a car.

Would I, probably not... all the cons of a bike and no pros of a car.

Your car licence (see your licence) is OK, but Pee-agio-go advise CBT:

If you've got experience on a bike that'll probably do, but remember that we drive on the proper side of the road here.

you need the LT versions as the wheels are set slightly wider apart making it a tricycle
the normal ones are still classed as bikes by law and you wont get insurance without a bike licence

Those things are relatively slow turning, but they're not much wider than a bike, so you can still filter most of the time. The biggest blocker to filtering would probably be narrow gaps between traffic islands and cars.

they are the exact same width as most maxi scooters which have no trouble filtering at all and tend to be a bit narrower then faired bikes

That's something that was always a bit suspect.
