Improving moped and motorcycle training
Changes to moped and motorcycle training to make sure newly-qualified riders are better prepared for riding on modern roads.
Detail
The proposed changes for riders are to:
- take away (revoke) compulsory basic training (CBT) certificates of riders who get 6 penalty points
- introduce a training course for riders to upgrade their motorcycle licence, instead of passing extra tests
- restrict riders to riding an automatic motorcycle if they take their CBT course on one
- consider introducing a theory test that has to be taken before (or as part of) the CBT course
- change the CBT course syllabus from 5 parts to 4
There are also proposed changes to:
- improve the motorcycle instructor qualification process
- improve the way training courses are quality assured
- introduce an ‘earned recognition’ scheme for motorcycle training schools
- move the recording of CBT courses from a paper-based system to a digital service
