Answer 3

A Buggy is in the same vehicle class as a car, it has four wheels, so you are not permitted to drive on public roads with such vehicle.

If it had 2 'Main' wheels, and possibly two slightly smaller ones, about the size of pushbike stabalisers. then it would definately be allowed, as there was an ebay auction related product.

You may be able to drive it dependant on specification. Perhaps upload a picture.

Answer 4

you can ride a 50cc scooter/moped at the age of 16. so i dont see why you cant ride a buggy that age!!

Answer 5

I know that these can be driven at 16 on a provisional licence

So I don't see why not

Answer 6

The only motorised vehicle a 16-year-old can legally ride is a moped,and I've never heard of a buggy being licenced as a moped.  I doubt the engine would be powerful enough to move a four-wheeler.
