What is the age qualification to drive a motorcycle with an engine capacity exceeding 125 cubic centimeters?

In the Cayman Islands, the legal age requirement to drive a motorcycle with an engine capacity exceeding 125 cubic centimeters is set at 19 years. This regulation is in place to ensure that riders have reached an age where they are more likely to possess the maturity and responsibility necessary for handling more powerful vehicles safely.

Younger riders are typically required to start with smaller engines, which allow them to gain experience and develop their riding skills before progressing to larger, faster motorcycles. This gradual approach helps to lower the risk of accidents among inexperienced riders and promotes safer riding practices overall. Additionally, the age limits align with broader road safety measures that aim to ensure that all riders are sufficiently trained and qualified before operating more powerful motorbikes.
