Does anyone if you can do a CBT test and drive a moped/scooter on a provisional car licence? Contacted DVLA last night but they were closed :(

have you had a look on their website?
here
that might be of help :)

Thanks janeandkai but i looked on there too and it doesnt answer may question :( thanks anyway xx I just phoned them again and its a machine saying "due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to take your call!!

I think i understand what your asking now. can you ride a moped after completing a CBT whilst on a provisional licence ....yes?
I think from what i have read ( and my experiance years ago before CBT's ) the answer is yes but the CBT is only valid for 2 years so you will have to pass the theory test and driving test for the moped

Lol yes thats what im asking :) My partner has a provisional licence and wants to buy a scooter or moped and needs to do his CBT so was just wondering if he could take his CBT and actually drive the scooter on the road with his provisional! Thanks janeandkai x

your welcome... think that cup of coffee has kicked in now :D

Hi Minniedog,

I think that the CBT will allow you to ride a scooter/moped or any bike up to 125cc on the road, regardless of whether you have a car licence or not.

Hope that helps,

Hi,

Ive owned a scooter - you need a provisional driving licence and a bike for the test (i had a 50cc, not sure what the max allowance is though for learners). You dont need to complete a theory test, however he will need to know the rules of the road etc as he will be questioned about it during the test.

Look in your yellow pages for CBT trainers, it cost me about £50, its a full day type thing where you learn the basics of riding a bike and then a group of you go out on the road for your 'test' the instructor can talk to you via a special helmet so you know where you are going and what to do etc... you can call them and ask for the details about the size engine etc :)

If you do ok and dont endanger anyone you get your CBT certificate which is valid for 2 years. This entitles you to ride your scooter/moped on a learners driving licence whilst displaying 'L' Plates.
