Do you have to have a car license before a motorcycle license?

Answer 1

No you don't need to get a full car driving licence to get a motorcycle license, you can ride a 50cc moped (whether this is styled like a motorbike or scooter doesn't matter) at the age of 16 with only a provisional license and a CBT fr a period of 2 years with L-Plates. At the age of 17 you can upgrade the bike to a 125cc machine without any further tests and are also allowed to ride this for a period of 2 years with L plates, once you reach the age of 17 you can take an A2 or a restricted Motorcycle license test, this involves a motorcycle theory test, a sight test, and 2 sections of a practical riding test. "Once you pass your test this allows you to ride any size of bike provided it is limited to 33bhp for the first two years after passing. After the two years have elapsed you can ride any power machine without taking a further test (or even sending your licence off!). If you are under 21 this is the only full course open to you. " Alternatively if you are over 21 you can do what is called the DAS, or direct access scheme, this is a full bike licence allowing you to ride any size bike providing it is limited to 33bhp for the first 2 years after passing this test.

Answer 2

Not in the UK. The provisional driving licence covers several groups of vehicle.

However if you have a driving full licence for a car that will cover you as a provisional licence for a motorcycle.

If there are additional groups required then you must apply for those groups to be added to the provisional licence.

Answer 3

No, that is not compulsory, many people might think of it as this is true, but I tell you, its not compulsory to have a motorcycle license before a car license or viceversa.

However, you must know that different countries have different liensing rules, therefore first contact your local license department to ensure if its True or Not.

Plus below 50cc no one needs a license.
