About learning to drive?

Asked by noodle_poodle (1617points) September 13th, 2009

Does the driving theory test for cars also allow you to drive motorbikes or are they separate? I am taking steps towards getting on the road, due to funds shortage I will have to take the long route by renting a moped and probably working my way up through motorbikes to get road experience as opposed to having lots of driving lessons…I have already had quite a few driving lessons in the past.. I am good with the actual driving of the car i just lack experience of being on the road…(this is important as i cant afford to fail and retake the test multiple times) I had previously taken my theory test but it has expired so I need to take it again….also I know you can rent mopeds but has anyone ever herd of renting motorbikes long term?

in the US(at least here in Minnesota), there are separate tests for cars and motorbikes. however, a normal drivers license for cars allows you to drive mopeds/scooters that are 50cc. Anything over 50cc requires a motorbike license which requires the motorbike test.

check the UK’s MOT site or wherever that info would be.

I’m located in the US, so I don’t know as much about it, but here’s a website: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_069889 where you can probably find what you’re looking for.
