Help needed on starting riding

[Guest]

I hold a full clean car licence and am abit unsure as what it says on the direct gov page. Can or cant i ride a bike upto 125 cc on a full car licence and just do a cbt test and im good to go and then later on down the line do a full bike test? Im 21 Years old and any help would be appreciated, i thought id ask the best and this seems the place.

Moving this to CBT Training etc section - more appropriate place for the topic

It's not a test, it's Compulsory Basic Training which lasts for 2 years before you need to renew unless you pass your bike test in that time. All I can say is do it, best 90 quid I spent! And opened the door to getting my bike licence which I have since done. Also it will validate the moped licence entitlement you get when you pass your driving test if it was post 2001 (prior to that I believe the moped entitlement was automatically given as soon as you passed your driving test) giving you the legal right to ride a 50cc restricted to 30 mph if you choose to do so for the entire period of your driving licence
