48 Hours Until Bike Restrictions for 16-18 Yr Olds
As of this coming Thursday April 1st, 2010, the Bermuda Youth Licence [BYL] will come into effect for persons aged 16 and 17, which effectively restricts them from ‘towing’ a passenger, as well as riding at late night.
The BYL has two restrictions:
- No one is permitted to ride an auxiliary cycle with a passenger.
- No one is permitted to ride on the roads between the hours of 1am – 5am
The penalties for disobeying the restrictions are:
- A $300 fine, 5 to 7 demerit points, and a possible 6 month ban from riding on the roads.
To obtain a BYL, one must successfully complete Project Ride and apply at TCD with a completed medical form and the necessary funds.
