[going east]

i am just about to buy a 125cc scooter, then had a thought i dont have a uk motorbike licence only a full driving licence. having never seen L plates in turkey does my driving licence cover me over here?

A point worth bearing in mind GE is that should you be unlucky to have any sort of accident involving a third party you would also have to produce the 'green' paper part of the licence as well as the licence itself. Just a point that many people overlook. Good luck with the purchase and happy riding.

A motor bike doesn't go backwards.  If you're "going east", don't expect it to "go west" as well!!

My friend had an accident and the police checked off the categories to see if it was ok for a bike (either A,B or C) so it might be worth keeping that in mind.
