Drivers getting a full UK car licence from this day had to pass compulsory basic training (CBT) before being allowed to ride a moped. Various changes to the motorcycle training regulations were introduced, including the:
• reduction of the validity period for a CBT certificate from 3 to 2 years
• removal of the 2 year on – 1 year off rule for provisional licence holders
• requirement for drivers gaining a full car licence to take CBT before being able to ride a moped
