You have bought a petrol-powered mini moto for use on private land. On a clear, dry day you want to ride it from your home, along the pavement and then on the road for a short distance to reach a friend’s large garden. What must you do?

Explanation

Under Highway Code Rule 157, most mini motos and motorised scooters (go-peds) do not meet road-vehicle construction and technical standards. They MUST NOT be used on roads, pavements, footpaths, cycle paths or bridleways, regardless of weather or how short the journey is. They may only be used on suitable private land with the landowner’s permission.
