Another page to look at

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring...ions/DG_180318

The different rules on the various different websites make this very confusing, but the short and curlys of it is you can use a quad bike so long as you have the license and it's road legal in the same way motorbike has to be (ie: type approved or SVA tested, MOT'd (unless short distance agricultural), taxed (may be at nil value if agricultural, but it still needs a tax disc), insurance, lights, numberplate, etc, etc)

So do you still get class B if you pass your car test? If not how the hell do you ever drive a quad? The FSA dont do Quad tests as far as I'm aware.

If you can't get B without doing C, then why does it exist as a separate category? May as well just cover quads under C.

When you pass your car test you get B B1 F k and p.


I don't know if you have any of them under provisional but I'd assume you have the other categories because you can get them separately.

If I remember rightly you get f k & p on a provisional but the rules may have changed as that was a long time ago.

C is a HGV license. Would have to be a pretty big quad lol. Still not sure what you need to drive a quad though as you can do it on B so do not see why you cannot do it on a A as the weight difference wouldnt match a car would it!!

When it comes to insuring it, that's the big crunch.

Shortly after I got my first car the brakes failed. I had to save for months to be able to afford the repair. I moaned at the garage bloke he said "If you cannot afford to drive then walk". There is no excuse for not having insurance.
