"I have a full car licence, what can I ride?
If your licence was issued before 1st February 2001, then you can ride a 50cc moped, capable of not more than 30mph. Strangely enough, you will not need to display L plates, and you can carry a passenger if the motorcycle has a passenger seat and rear footrests. If you want to ride a motorcycle of over 50cc, up to 125cc, you must take Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), you must display L plates, and you must not carry passengers. The CBT certificate is valid for 2 years"

If you have a car licence...

If you obtained your full car licence before 1 February 2001 you are automatically entitled to ride a moped without L-plates (D-plates in Wales).
If you obtained a full car licence after 1 February 2001 you must first complete a CBT course and obtain a DL 196 certificate to validate your entitlement.


Thank you and goodnight. Apologies in the post please. :p

I agree it's not policing at all, they are there to give the impression there are alot of Police milling about but in reality there are not. The PCSO's have a hard time of it and I feel sorry for the ones that feel they are making a difference.

From being on the other side of it I would rather the Government pay for Police Officers so that I have back up when I need it and am not stranded on my own with the nearest back up 20 mins away. But that is simply not going to happen.

Well yeah that too!.....but what is it? :o

Re: Comunity support TW*TS
 

A grandfather clause is a term used in U.S. English for an exception that allows an old rule to continue to apply to some existing situations, when a new rule will apply to all future situations. It is often used as a verb: to grandfather means to grant such an exemption. For example, a "grandfathered power plant" might be exempt from new, more restrictive pollution laws. Often, such a provision is used as a compromise, to effect new rules without upsetting a well-established logistical or political situation. This extends the idea of a rule not being retroactively applied. It is a portion of a statute that provides that the law is not applicable in certain circumstances due to preexisting facts.

This basically means that if you were entitled to ride a bike before they brought in the the new laws, then you can still ride one without going through all the rigmarole of getting a CBT and passing a test.
