Question

Difficulty: MediumMotorway Restrictions and Prohibited Users

A provisional motorcycle licence holder who has completed Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) is legally permitted to ride on a motorway as long as they are accompanied and supervised by a qualified motorcycle instructor.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False (provisional motorcycle licence holders are strictly prohibited from using motorways at all times)
Under UK Highway Code Rule 253, motorways must not be used by holders of provisional motorcycle licences. While learner car drivers have been permitted on motorways since 2018 under specific conditions (accompanied by an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual-controlled car), no such exemption exists for learner motorcyclists under any circumstances.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the vehicle and licence category described in the scenario.
The scenario involves a provisional motorcycle licence holder with Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) under instructor supervision.
Different categories of provisional licence holders have distinct legal access rules on UK motorways.
2
Apply UK Highway Code Rule 253 regarding prohibited road users on motorways.
Rule 253 explicitly states that motorways must not be used by holders of provisional motorcycle licences.
Unlike learner car drivers, who may use motorways when accompanied by an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual-controlled car, no equivalent exemption exists for learner motorcyclists.
3
Evaluate the accuracy of the statement.
The statement is determined to be false.
Supervision by a qualified motorcycle instructor does not legally permit a provisional rider on a motorway.
