An important message to those who are attending the TT/Manx Grand Prix
With the 2025 TT now only 4 months away, I thought I'd post this information (again!)
If you are planning to go to the Isle of Man riding motorcycles/mopeds (or any other vehicle) on L plates using a provisional licence:
A UK PROVISIONAL LICENCE IS NOT VALID IN THE ISLE OF MAN (also applies to provisional licences from other countries)
You are NOT LICENSED and therefore NOT INSURED to ride/drive there
If this affects you, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you do have just over 16 weeks to pass your test ....

Basically it says: Holders of a provisional driving licence or permit issued outside the Isle of Man cannot drive on the Island. You will need to apply for a Manx issued provisional driving licence in order to learn how to drive here.
