CBT, DAS and Post Test training
Live to ride, but always ride to live!Moped Riding.
Requirements before riding.
- A current provisional licence showing category 'P' or 'A', or full car licence.
- A current DL 196 (CBT) certificate, unless you passed your full car test before 1st February 2001.
- Maximum design speed not exceeding 50 km per hour (about 31mph). Important note, a moped that has been modified to enable faster speeds is no longer a moped in law, and therefore cannot be ridden on a category 'P' licence, and category 'A' laws apply.
- An engine capacity no greater than 50 cc.
- It can be moved by pedals, if the moped was first used before 1st September 1977.
You can only hold a provisional moped licence if you are at least 16 years old. It entitles you to ride a moped on the road as a learner with L-plates but you must not carry a pillion passenger or go on a motorway.
Your provisional licence is only valid when you have the DL 196 certificate issued on completion of compulsory basic training (CBT) by an approved training body (ATB).
A CBT certificate obtained on a moped is also valid for motorcycles once the rider has reached the age of 17 years and has the necessary licence.
If you have a full car licence, you are automatically entitled to ride a moped without L-plates if you obtained your full car licence before 1st February 2001.
If you obtained a full car licence after 1st February 2001 you must first complete a CBT course and obtain a DL 196 certificate to validate your full moped entitlement.
You can take your CBT with Road to Freedom Motorcycle and Scooter Training. Your instructor is fully qualified and licenced by the Driving standards Agency, and is calm, patient and understanding, making your day with us an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
