    You're not entitled to drive a moped OP. Only people who passed the car test pre Oct'06 got the M category automatically. In order for you to get it you will have to do the theory test, IBT, driving test etc..

    Yeah it sucks alright. If you want to blame anyone point your anger at the EU. They're the one's implimenting theses new rules across the EU to create a standard driving licence/test/system.

    Just wait until next January 19th (2013), that's when the real fun begins!

    It's silly Irish rules, in most other EU countries you can ride a moped at 14.

    They are totally changing the motorcycle licence system so you'll be riding on restricted licences for at least 4 years(IIRC) after passing the A test. Get your IBT and apply for an A licence, it'll be cheaper than a 2nd car and much more fun.

    That's mad Ted. So if you pass your driving test you are allowed drive a car and tractor but not a moped?
