Drive A Car On A Bike License

[Richard Grove]

This might be of interest to someone - I spotted it on the Onyx web site

 

 

"A couple of customers have contacted us recently about buying Firefox Clubsports because they can drive them with only a motorcycle licence. This is because of a new EU ruling on 4 wheeled vehicles below 550 kgs. It is true, we have seen the letter of confirmation from DVLA. So bikers throw that Reliant Robin away and buy a Clubsport. One customer, 34yrs old was quoted less than £300 fully comp for insurance which just has to be brilliant. Ring us for more details."

Have to say this...... so I aplogise in advance

 

It's damn ugly.....

 

Sorry

 

(But certainly not as ugly as that Chav mobile I was driving... )

I certainly didn't buy it for its looks but it its damn fast as well !!

[Guest rizla]

if thats the case would that not mean all cars under that weight could do the same,i presume there is a loop hole with this

It's damn ugly.....  

So are you but we don’t all go around telling everyone else.

[Richard Grove]

I don't know any more than I read on the Onyx web site but I assume it means any 4 wheeled car under 550KG could be driven by someone with a Motor cycle license.

Are there any other implications to this? tax, insurance etc?

[Guest Dredd]

Unless the law has changed since I was posted to driving a desk, a motorcycle has to have less than 4 wheels.

Sue - by Chavmobile I meant the Fiesta , all we needed were burberry caps, Kappa joggers & white trainers...

 

Richard, just messing with you, it's a weird looking machine but looked fast as F***... It looked like it needed a prop on it in the pits but seemed to fly well enough on wheels.

 

Sir Chris - You don't need to tell anyone, I don't hide away in shame, maybe if I had royal blood like you....

 

Dan

 

Oops at Drew's gaff so on his account... who can I upset then so he'll get the blame...

I saw some cars in tamworth on a garage forecourt advertised that you can drive on a bike licence or on your own on L plates they looked like the old reliant kitten but with small bike engines

There are several "micro" cars that can be driven on a bike licence including a Ligier with a little diesel in it. There was a stand at the last motor show with several such vehicles on it.

[Guest G.Man]

arent the 550kg quadricycles capped at 20 odd bhp tho????
