Closed Require drivers of motorcycles for paid work to have full licence for type

Closed on

We want the Government to require anyone who drivers a moped or motorbike for work to be required to have the full licence for the type of vehicle they drive. We believe it is unacceptable and unsafe that such drivers can operate with only a provisional licence and a CBT certificate.

Anyone driving a car or van professionally would be expected to have a full driving licence. Because no-one needs to supervise someone with a provisional licence driving a moped or motorbike, it is common for commercial drivers to work using a moped or motorbike with only a provisional licence and CBT certificate.
