If you wish to operate a moped with an engine smaller than 50cc that can travel no faster than 31 mph on UK mainland roads, you must complete the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training).

The five essential components of this training program are the moped theory test, which is the most important. The only time you won't need to take the CBT to drive a moped is if you held your full automobile driving license before February 2001 and subsequently renewed it.

The CBT allows you to operate a moped on public roads for two years, at which point you must take your full DVSA bike test or retake the CBT.

The theory test for mopeds is quite similar to that for cars and full motorcycles, with both multiple choice and hazard awareness questions. So hurry and book your CBT training course now to get riding.

If you want to drive a car or motorcycle, you'll need to take the UK driving theory test. This is a multiple-choice exam that tests your knowledge of the Highway Code and basic road safety. The pass mark is 43 out of 50.

You will have 57 minutes to answer 50 questions. The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) recommends that you allow at least 30 minutes to read the instructions and questions before starting the test.

You can book your theory test online or by phone.
