§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the speed limit that applies to drivers of 49cc motor scooters. [67666]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThere is no specific speed limit for 49cc motor scooters, which are classed as motor cycles. The road speed limits, either set nationally or locally by traffic authorities, therefore apply. Motorcycles of under 50cc are not permitted on motorways.
