Automatic 125 licence

[Fleck]

A friend wants to ride a 125cc automatic moped with his wife on the back, he has a car licence from the 1970's. I've looked on the government Web site but it might as well be written in Chinese. What test does he need to do? Or module?

Thanks

I think he would need a CBT with L plates just for him........... but a Mod 2 to take a passenger?

Not 100% sure though to be honest................someone will be along shortly to tell you properly

Yep....to carry a pillion he will need a full licence..so mod1 and mod 2..

Your friend needs to do CBT, theory test an practical test (mod 1 and mod 2) to get A1 licence to ride up to 125cc. If Test is taken on an automatic bike the licence will be restricted to such. The A1 licence allows you to take pillion and use motorway.

he can ride a 50cc moped without l plates and take a passenger

but if he wants to ride a 125cc he needs to follow the relevant flow chart for a1 motorcycle

Thank you all . What are Mod 1 and Mod 2? Are they tests where you ride out with an examiner riding behind you? If so what's the difference? Is one of them theory?

Mod1 is a test to demonstrate manoeuvrings in an enclosed space, eg a car park. Mod2 is the road riding test. Both done with examiner watching. Your friend has to do both to get an A1 licence. In addition the theory test needs to be passed before the practical tests. The CBT needs to be done first.
