Do I have to do a scooter driving test? As an owner of a scooter, you do not need to own a driving
licence. However, you may be required to register it but this is only for
certain types of scooter that can be driven along the road. There are two key
classes of scooter and understanding the key differences between these will let
you know whether it needs to be registered or not.
Class 2 : Cannot
be used on the road unless there is pavement. They also have a max speed of 4
mph (miles per hour).
