Motorcycles and scooters

Driving license category A2 is the second stage of a motorcycle driver's licence. This permits you to operate mopeds and small motorcycles of up to 50cc.

The category A2 driving licence is valid until the age of 24. It can be used together with a category A1 car driving licence or as part an interim driver's license.

If you have completed a two-part moped test or lower category motorcycle test as of the 1st July 1996 then you are eligible to skip the theory test and take the test in practice. You can ride a small moped or scooter that has L plates, or take the new AM licence that will enable you to ride up to 50cc bikes with a maximum speed of 45mph.
