But wouldn't a flying motorbike be illegal as a charmed muggle thing, 
like Mr Weasley's car and flying carpets? I'd assume that wizards do 
need to drive(ministry cars) so they would probably have licenses, 
and the age for driving would probably be the UK one, which is 17 I 
think. That's when my brother started learning.
I wonder why the ministry gets away with having charmed cars and 
ordinary wizards don't. Such double standards.
