Whether on 4 wheels, or two, driving can be fun – Weekends away, the open road, driving holidays / road trips.

If you are on a motorbike, make sure you have the correct protective clothing for your trip / journey.

Compulsory Basic Training – CBT

Compulsory basic training (CBT) is a course you usually have to take before you ride a moped or motorcycle on the road in the UK

The training makes sure you can ride safely on your own while you practise for your full moped or motorcycle test.

CBT is not a test that you pass or fail.

After you’ve completed CBT, you can ride a:

moped if you’re 16 or over
motorcycle up to 125cc and with a power output of up to 11kW if you’re 17 or over

You must use L plates (L or D plates in Wales).

You must pass your full moped or motorcycle test within 2 years, or you have to either take CBT again or stop riding.

You can be fined up to £1,000 and get up to 6 penalty points for riding if you do not have a valid CBT certificate.
