No estimate has been made. However, there are currently about 380,000 riders who hold a certificate of Compulsory Basic Training (CBT). CBT is valid for two years, during this time learner riders are expected to gain experience and take further training prior to taking their motorcycle theory and practical tests. CBT is valid to ride motorcycles and scooters up to 125cc as well as mopeds.
