Our new au pair doesn't drive and we are thinking of ways of getting her mobile. What paperwork is needed to ride a moped. Does one have to take a test. I know our 14 year old kid next door has just got mobile, but I havent had time to ask him what paperwork he has.

Secondly can a normal car driver drive a moped?

Starting at 14 and yes, you can drive a moped (categorie G) with a normal automobile license.

According to this (page 34) your au pair would need a licence.

Here is a good table for determining which type of license you may need.

Scroll back up but this time read the link I posted..

Why not spend CHF2 of that hard earned cash, get on the bus, go down to the Mofa dealer and ask him? Oder perhaps a Free Beer might be in order...
