50cc moped learner information please.
ok, i have a friend who only has a provisional licence. Just bought a 50cc moped. What is the law regarding driving this, what courses are legal requirements from day 1? How long can he drive with L plates??
Im typing this on my mobile phone and at work, so please just general answers as cannot click on links. Cheers

All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

Your friend will have to do a compulsory basic training session with an approved training body before he/she can drive on the road. Once this is completed they can ride on the road, but L plates will have to be displayed front and rear.
The CBT certificate will be valid for two years and if your friend is still on a provisional licence at that point it will be necessary to do another CBT.
If your friend is 17 or over they can ride a bike up to 125cc with L plates displayed."You should know not to believe everything in media & polls by now !"

Dont forget the insurance, Seems this has not escaped the price hikes. £500+ when my nephew got quotes.
Probably doesn't help that his step dad had 4 bikes stolen/attempted theft in as many years.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
Passing a car test subsequent to doing CBT will exempt you from having to re-do CBT and wearing L-plates for the purposes of riding 50cc mopeds. This is because modern car licences come with full moped entitlement, valid with a CBT certificate.0

That would apply as long as the CBT certificate is valid at the time the driving test has been passed."You should know not to believe everything in media & polls by now !"

It would seem that you're correct. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/53/regulation/8/made 5 a ii
Seems a unnecessary. Like a lot of legislation I suppose.0
