What changes at 15: the AM
At 15 the AM licence is added, covering two- or three-wheel mopeds, light quadricycles and vehicles for people with reduced mobility. No previous licence is required. The theory test is the specific one, and the practical test is on a closed track, without an open-road test.
That difference helps planning: the AM is the first licence on the list built around a road-going motor vehicle, yet it does not ask for a road test. That arrives with the A1 at 16, which adds the general theory test plus closed-track and road tests.
