I think that it only applies to actual 2 wheeled vehicles. A 3 wheeled vehicle by definition,whether its steered by bars or wheel does not come under bikes I believe.Hence the reason why helmets aint compulsory either. A good point though,but don't quote me.Try hogging a bus lane and see what happens!!!
I suspect they are not allowed as they are not classed as a PTW (powered two wheelers), will try and find out more.
There's no consistency on use of bus lanes across the country - each local authority decides its own rules - but where they do allow "powered two wheelers", it's consistently defined as motorcycles, scooters and mopeds. Swindon allowed PTWs to use bus lanes in September 2001 (see section 51).
Ant just asked this question to people in MAG who were involved with getting bikes into bus lanes and it’s bad news for you, trikes are not allowed in bus lanes.
didnt think rikes were allowed and you have just answered that.
Ho-hum! Just my luck! Ive got to wait 15 years before I get the freedom to travel in a bus lane.... Roll on getting my bus pass at 60!
what do you mean 15 years cant be that long unlucky
Cheeky! Just coz your probably nearer than me to the bus pass!
