How do I apply for a provisional license? ?

Question

...For a moped. I'm 15, but 16 in less than two weeks. Do you HAVE to be 16 to apply for one? Also, how or where do i apply for one? I'd really want a vespa LX? 50 cc.

I have no idea how much this all costs either... I'm just thinking about it right now, but if you could tell me the important stuff?

Answer 1

fill in a application form, you get them from the post office

Answer 2

Go on line to the DVLA as you should be able to download an application form in PDF format. You will need photos etc. Also, you will need to take a CBT before you can get the moped. Once you have got your licence you can book the CBT which will cost in the region of £100

Answer 5

you dont need to be 16 to apply for 1. you need to go to post office to get the correct forms. this should come with a leaflet helping you fill it out. get an adult to help you if it makes it easier. it costs around £30 or did when i got 1 3 years ago.

BTW i think you should wait until you can drive a car cos at least you have surroundings to protect u unlike mopeds are soooooo dangerous. I fell off and broke my wrist...i'm lucky thats all I broke cos of some oil that i didnt see on the road. They are really annoying cos they are soo noisy and will p**s off all your neighbours!
