check the paper part of your license as it will tell you what you can drive !

I did get my Dutch moped license, when I lived there. I would like to avoid the horrid L-plates on my '64 moped you see!

So, if I what do I need to do to ride my moped? What should I pass?

An Eu license from another country is only valid for 3 years in UK apparently - so depends on how long you've lived here since getting your dutch license.
I'm assuming that it was designed to exceed 50km/h which means it falls into category A1 (rather than P), so you'll need to do a bike test for at least this category to ride plateless.

The top speed is about 25 mph, well according to the book anyway :D
