If you can do the MOST on one, they'd probably give it to you.

I'll sell the tickets!

I don't see anywhere that it says a moped owner can't use their moped
to do their (required) motorcycle riders license tests.

You really need me to explain that to you?

[sigh] D'oh... OK, here we go: I posit that the licensing of drivers
and motorcycle riders has resulted in a death toll far lower than the
one we would get if no licensing were required. I take that to be a
given. Given this, it follows that licensing bicycle riders (for
riding on certain roads) would also lower their death toll (on those
roads).

Hence my question to Zebee (to which he, although he is a great bloke,
has not yet replied.)

In WA as I believe in QLD, you must have an accompanying 'instructor'
when on L plates. The law says that that person may be riding another
motor cycle or be a pillion on the learners bike. I don't think I've
ever seen the second option exercised.

In WA, the redefinition of mopeds was due largely to a campaign by the
legendary Ted Stolarski.
