Correct answer
No, but the statutory vehicle and passenger conditions must be met.
There is no general requirement for the AM holder to be 18; the minimum age to obtain the licence is 15. Vehicle and passenger conditions must be met, including an authorised seat, correct riding position and required protection. Passenger age and exceptions for children have their own rules; holding the licence does not authorise any passenger on any moped.
