Road Quad laws?

Question

As a car full license holder i am able to ride a quad, yes?

my brother though, only has a provisional car license so what are the laws for provisional riders?

UK btw

Answer 1

I'm glad you call them quads and not bikes or quadbikes.

I think because the controls are similar to a motorcycles, you may require a motorcycle test / licence.

Have a look at the DVLA website.

Answer 2

You need a full car licence (or pre 1999 bike licence) to ride a quad.

you also need insurance, which will cost you about  Ã‚£120 per year and £55 registration fee.

If you or your brother intends to ride the Quad on a road, you also need to specifically modify the Quad for this.

Answer 3

The quad bikes that can be used on a main road are legal but you have to tax and insure it the same as you would a car and a full driving license is required you cant ride a quad bike on a provisional driving license.

Answer 4

Quad Bikes on the road are ILLEGAL full stop.
