Hello If you have a full car licence, you are automatically entitled to ride a 50cc scooter without L-plates if you obtained your full car licence before 1 February, 2001. If you obtained a full car licence after 1 February, 2001 you must first complete a CBT course Hope this helps I am not sure about passengers but I am pretty sure you would be able to unless anyone else can say different

I'm pretty sure you can't carry a passenger unless you've taken a CBT.
