Licencing

Can somebody explain to me what the difference is between the Learners licence on a motorcyle and a Restricted licence. This just looks like a money making scheme (assuming the person is over the age of 25 and has a car licence).

you know the LTSA has a website for a reason.

long story short learners is a licence to Learn to ride -it should be nothing more. Restricted gives you the chance to do almost anything a full licence holder does except ride over 250cc or carry a pillion

Nope, there is not difference between your L restrictions and the R restrictions.
Go figure
(This is in reference to the over 25's catagory)

uh. yes there is.
On a learners you have a 70km/h speed limit and you have to display an L plate.
Did you even read the info on the ltsa site??

That's funny. I don't remember the AA, the bike school, the Road Code, or anything else absolving me of the L plate or 70 km/h limit when I did my learner's at 29. Perhaps you should, you know, read the actual regulations?
