It's a result of an EC directive. So doubtless tiered access for cars is on someone agenda (especially now you've mentioned it
) , even though it's restricted by the need for insurance.
My Morgan is hardly powerful, yet like pretty well all vintage ones, will fall into the more than 15kw (20bhp) group along with the 180mph motorbikes.
A young person will have to take the CBT, then two tiered bike driving tests and wait till 21 or wait till 24 and go the direct access route. All to drive a car that might do 80mph flat out. Most standard vintage Morgans are slower.
But, the ability to ride a motorbike confers no ability to drive a Morgan three wheeler and that I'm sure was behind the fact that in 2000, the folk who passed a full bike test were no longer given driving licence group B1 (all vintage Morgan three wheelers and a few others).
There is no sign of any of this, but really the sensible outcome would be for the government to declare all car bodied three wheelers as cars - thus needing a group B (car) driving licence.
