HI all, wondered if I could pick your brains about getting a moped adn whether it would be worth it.

To get to work 3 miles away I'd need to use two roads with 40mph speed limits (one A road, one crossing the river).

Is it possible to use a moped on higher speed roads?

I have taken driving lessons but don't drive (failed three times)
Still have a provisional licence.
I'm in my late 20's

I'd love a moped since public transport is poor and the local bus station is getting more and more dangerous for a lone female, especially at night.

125cc are limited to 30mph i think, and you need to take cbt test then I think you have 3 years to pass your bike test

No, 50cc mopeds are limited to 30mph. 125's are limited to 15bhp which is enough to get to 70mph. CBT is valid for two years. When it runs out it will have to be completed again. No need to have to take the practical test at all, though it is better to do that.
