I didn't think you even needed that. If you have bike and car you'll definitely be covered.

I think I got it: http://www.jetskiecosse.co.uk/road_legal_quads.htm

How much road tax do I have to pay for a quad?
:arrow: A quad is taxed as a small car so it is £110 per year at the moment

What driving licence do I need?
:arrow: You need a full car licence (or pre 1999 bike licence) to ride a quad on the road
:arrow: At the moment you can't pass a driving test on a quad

There's a guy who works at Victor Barry tyres in Plympton, Newnham Rd, who rides a red one to work.

Usually see him when I'm out walking the dog.
