Default Catagory b1 drivers license.

I know that it allows me to drive 3 or 4 wheeled vehicles upto 550kg but could I jump onto a Yamaha dt125 & ride it?

Just wondering as it'll be cheaper to run over winter.

this is taken from a government site....
If you have a full car licence you may ride motorcycles up to 125 cc and 11 kW power output, with L plates (and/or D plates in Wales), on public roads, but you MUST first satisfactorily complete a CBT course if you have not already done so.

And colder mate - I ride a bike from Sussex into London every day and believe me, there are times when I really would far rather be in a car....cheaper it is, but more comfortable it certainly isn't.

think you can ride a 50cc or less moped on a drivers licence from what i've been told as someone at my last job did that but worth checking.

apparently you still need a cbt for a moped...
Moped licence requirements

A moped MUST have an engine capacity not exceeding 50 cc, not weigh more than 250 kg and be designed to have a maximum speed not exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h). From June 2003 all EC Type Approved mopeds have been restricted to 28 mph (45 km/h).
Law RTA 1988 (as amended) sect 108
To ride a moped, learners MUST
  • be 16 or over
  • have a provisional moped licence
  • complete CBT training.
