Moped: Driver
built 254 days ago
People born before 1985 can drive a moped without a licence. The power of an internal combustion engine moped is not limited, but the speed limit is 45 km/h (28 mph) and engine capacity can be a maximum of 50 cc (with electric motor maximum power is restricted to 4 kW). Mopeds are allowed to carry one passenger with the driver, if the moped is registered as having two seats. Both driver and passenger are required to wear helmets. After Finland joined the European Union, EU regulations increased the maximum weight of moped and speed limit was increased from 40 km/h (25 mph) to 45 km/h (28 mph). In Finland, it is illegal to drive a moped without a safety helmet.

A moped license is needed and the driver must be at least 16 to operate a small one. A car driver's or motorcycle license is needed and the driver must be at least 18 years old to drive a big one. All new mopeds (both types) bought after 1 June 2006 must be registered with a license plate, and have insurance. The older models are not required to have a license plate.

In Russia, the moped is legally defined as a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with engine displacement no more that 50 cm3 and maximum speed no more than 50 km/h. Such vehicles require no licensing. They are not allowed to carry passengers except the driver.

TAXI: Neville Ebin aged 17, died when he was knocked of his moped by a taxi in Hamilton Bermuda in 1974. A year later, his bother Erskine, was riding the same repaired moped along the same street. He too was knocked down, and killed by the very same taxi, with the same driver - and carrying the same passenger.

You must pass a vision, knowledge and traffic sign test to obtain a moped license. You do not have to pass a driver education course or a road skills test. Check with a local Secretary of State branch office for the vision standards, which differ from those required for a regular operator license.

Since 28 November 2005 moped drivers require either a full M licence or a restricted class M licence to legally ride on road in Ontario.[7] Prior to that date riders only required a G licence. The G licence is a "general" licence for automobile drivers such as cars, small vans and trucks.
