Licences

Learning to ride a motorcycle

Once you have obtained a learner's permit you may take riding lessons and practise on a public road (with certain restrictions) provided you are accompanied at all times by an instructor - either on another bike or on the pillion seat (or in a sidecar). You must display 'L' plate at all times.

The instructor can be either:

• a licensed instructor for the class of licence for which you have a learner's permit; or

• any person who holds a current licence for the class of licence for which you have a learner's permit and who has held that class of licence (or higher) for at least 4 years;

(Note that for the R-E class you may only ride a motorcycle with an engine capacity up to and including 250cc.)

For the R-N Class, the instructor can be any person who has held an R-N (moped) or C (car) licence for at least 2 years.
