The Prospectory 
Hi Alison,
Came across the B Bug a few minutes ago.
Hope you can answer this question – sorry to bother you if not.
Is there an assumption that you have a driving licence to be able to drive on of these?
I think that, in some Europian countries, that if your vehicle is low powered you do not have to have a regular driving licence.
I am a keen cyclist and, like quite a few people I know, do not drive.
Just wondered if this is an issue that has been raised at all.
I would love to use such a vehicle – getting older and with the diminution of bus services, such a method of transport on a holiday as a means to getting into the countryside would be the most exciting prospect ever.
I look forward to your reply,
Candy Lister
If you owned a b-bug yourself, I think you might only need a Provisional Licence to drive it (as it is technically a Quadracycle). However, if you were hiring one to drive on holiday, you would need a full driving licence. Self drive hire of any vehicle is pretty strict.
Sorry not to be more help.
