Driver Licensing
To ride a motorcycle on the road you need a Class 6 (motorcycle) licence. You cannot legally ride a motorcycle on the road using a car driver licence.
The graduated driver licensing system (GDLS) has three stages:
Stage 1 – learner licence
Stage 2 – restricted licence
Stage 3 – full licence
You must be at least 15 years old before you can apply for a motorcycle licence.
