Motorcycles: Driving Licences

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 9 June 2025UIN 57520

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether DVLA-registered mopeds can be lent to drivers with provisional licenses.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

There is no requirement for the rider of a moped to be the registered keeper of the vehicle, whether they hold a provisional or full driving licence. Anyone riding or driving any vehicle must have the appropriate driving entitlement and must be insured for the purpose for which the vehicle is being used.
