So if someone was driving something on the roads that was not a car or a bike but kind of a cross

AMKC

Between the two and very few of them were in the Country as well as it being impossible to get insurance or tax on it what would you think of this?

Say the person knows how to drive has driven on the roads and has had driving lessons too.

it must fit into a legally recognised format:

• Category M: vehicles carrying passengers
• Category L: 2- and 3-wheel vehicles and quadricycles

You seem to be talking about Type L, so you're going to need to nail down the specifics - this will determine the type of licence you need and the insurer who'll cover you. A Grinall, for instance, is a Trike, but I've seen them registered as both a car AND a trike here. Huge differences and implications in terms of licence, insurance, NCT, motor tax rates etc.

So, what are you looking at ?

AMKC

Yes it's more a type L vehicle.

What is a Grinall?

Nevermind I googled it.

How are they impossible to tax or insure?

If it has an engine it can be taxed. If its a trike or type of kit car it car be insured.

It's electric so not an engine as such just a motor and a battery with all the associated electronics of course.

Miscreant

Are we talking about a Twizzy or something? Why all the mystery?

No not a Twizzy cool as it is but just far to expensive.

Because mysterious are good :)
