Several road users are planning routes across the strategic road network. Which of the following vehicles is legally permitted to travel on a motorway without special authorisation or escort?

  1. A
    A Class 3 powered mobility scooter fitted with a flashing amber beacon travelling at its maximum speed of 8 mph
  2. B
    An agricultural tractor moving between farm sites on an unrestricted section of the network
  3. A 125 cc light motorcycle ridden by a person who holds a full motorcycle licenceCevap
  4. D
    A 49 cc moped operated by a driver holding a full car driving licence

Cevap

A 125 cc light motorcycle ridden by a person holding a full motorcycle licence is legally permitted on motorways.
Motorcycles with an engine capacity greater than 50 cc operated by a fully licensed rider meet all statutory requirements for motorway travel. Under UK motorway regulations, vehicles must meet specific mechanical and licensing criteria, which excludes sub-50 cc engines, non-motorised traffic, mobility scooters, and agricultural machinery.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the legal restrictions governing powered invalid carriages and mobility equipment on high-speed roads.
All powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters are prohibited from motorways, even if they are Class 3 models equipped with amber warning beacons permitted on dual carriageways.
Highway Code Rule 253 strictly bans invalid carriages from motorway carriageways to prevent severe speed differentials.
2
Assess vehicle class eligibility for agricultural machinery and equipment.
Agricultural vehicles cannot use motorways under standard conditions.
Slow-moving machinery and farm equipment disrupt high-speed traffic flow and are legally excluded.
3
Examine the engine displacement threshold and licensing requirements for powered two-wheelers.
Vehicles with an engine displacement of 50 cc or under are prohibited, while a 125 cc motorcycle ridden by a full licence holder satisfies both engine capacity and qualification criteria.
Motorways require a minimum engine size exceeding 50 cc and full licence qualification (or learner car driving under specific statutory supervision).
