Moped on a car licence?

[mat777]

Sorry if this has been done to death before, but..

My full uk driving licence has B, B1 and fkp on the photocard. I dont have the paper part to hand unfortunately so cant say what's on it.

I have read conflicting reports on whether one can legally ride a 50cc moped on car full car licence without taking a CBT? I passed the car licence in 2009. I dont care whether its with or without L plates as long as it gets me around on a few hundred quid stter in the summer to avoid chucking fuel at the Land Rover.

can anyone give a clear answer? I have looked at the DVLA site but it seems ambiguous.

thanks,
matt

Hang on a minute, this is why I am confused - the link says about doing a cbt to ride a moped on a car licence without L plates. It however does not mention whether you need a cbt to ride WITH L plates...

"If you have a car licence...
If you obtained your full car licence before 1 February 2001 you are automatically entitled to ride a moped without L-plates (D-plates in Wales).
If you obtained a full car licence after 1 February 2001 you must first complete a CBT course and obtain a DL 196 certificate to validate your entitlement."

Ok, thanks for the advice.

How much is a CBT? And is that all I need to be eligible for a big bike direct access test when I turn 21 next year?
