LICENCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND IRELAND
DISCOVER WHICH DRIVING LICENCE YOU NEED TO RIDE CAN-AM ON-ROAD VEHICLES.
The European Directive on Driving Licences was implemented in all Member States from 19 January 2013. It brought the following change: any entitlements to drive granted before 19 January 2013 remain. As a consequence, you will find below the different scenarios allowing you to ride Can-Am On-Road vehicles.
There is a lot of confusing information on this subject but here is the plain English way of explaining.
If you are over 21 years old and have a car licence you can ride a Spyder or Ryker on your current entiltlement.
If you are over 21 years old and have a motorcycle A licence you can ride a Spyder or Ryker on your current entiltlement.
In either case you must be over 21 years
WITH CAR LICENCE (B)
If you acquired your car licence (B) before 19 January 2013 and were allowed to drive 3-wheel motorcycles with your licence, then you can keep your existing entitlements in the UK and anywhere in the EU.

WITH MOTORCYCLE LICENCE (A)
