Pandy - Agreed, you're post is probably far nearer the point re the political mashinations, but I retain my view that today a tired entry to young driver access to cars and bikes is still valid, at least on the heavily populated UK roads.
Martyn - Agreed there is limited correlation between the road skills needed for a bike and three wheeler, and the powers that be haven't got it right in this area. Although, it has always been a bit of a odd relationship between bikes and three wheelers re licensing and road tax. Fortunately, there must be very limited numbers of younger drivers out there desperate to get behind the wheel of a vintage Morgan three wheeler. Perhaps it would be clearer if all three wheelers were classed as cars, regardless of weight, power, etc.
