HELP!!! Moped and Licence question...
I have a full UK drivers licence, which I obtained in Jan 2002. I want to buy a 50cc Mpoed. My licence, on the back, shows the "p" catergory, which is for moped. But....the DVLA website says: -
"Full car licence holders riding mopedsIf you pass a car driving test after 1 February 2001 - you will be required to undertake a CBT course before riding a moped on the road unless you already hold a full motorcycle or moped licence. If you already hold a full car licence, or passed a car test before 1 February 2001, you are not required to take a CBT course before riding a moped but you are encouraged to do s0". This says to me that I DO NOT HAVE TO, by law, take a CBT TEST.
I called the DVLA to see if this was true and if I DID need, by law to legally ride a moped, a CBT why did I have the P catergory on my licence. They said that you DONT HAVE TO get a CBT, they just ADVISE YOU TO. I was a bit confused about this. SO I called local police station, they said that I DID NEED A CBT. So, I called DVLA back, spoke to someone diffent and gues what...they said I DO NEED A CBT. So who the hell is right?????

This is from Toureman's link. You do not need to take the course because you are already qualified to ride a moped without L plates. What was that about muppets?
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.

Weird one, i passed my test (car) in 1999, in 2004 i wanted to do my cat A, i enquired about the same thing as it was clear as mud on the DVLA website, i rang the police and they said it was nothing to do with them!! I spoke to a manager at DVLA and she said she was 100% positive i had to sit a CBT!!! Which I did, then at the end of the CBT when he handedover my certificate, they said I shouldnt have done it!!!
Goodluck!!
Goodluck!!
