Doesn't experience count these days?

"Starting November 28, 2005, moped drivers will have to hold a Class M licence or the new restricted Class M licence to operate their moped. You can no longer operate a moped holding any driver's licence. You need to pass a written test and starting Spring 2006 (when weather permits), you will need to complete both the M1 and M2 road tests and, if successful, you will receive a driver's licence that allows you to operate a limited-speed motorcycle (motor scooter) and moped only."

I'm very happy now that there is a new license that one can take to ride a scooter without doing the highway exit M test. However, for anyone who held a moped license before November 28, 2005, they are "Grandfathered" (automatically upgraded) to have the restricted class M license so they don't have to go to a written or roadtest to continue to drive their moped for life. But as a holder of a M2 license to only drive a limited-speed motor scooter for the past 4 years - I can't be "Grandfathered". How fair is that! The answer I got from the department of transportation, is that the grandfathered policy is simply a bridge to allow the existing moped license owners to continue to drive their mopeds without further test, and that for someone who has an M2 is considered a motorcycle license and must go through the road test to get the restricted class M to drive a 49cc scooter.

So in essence, I took the time and training to pass a test to get a M2 license and to have the experience of riding a limited motor scooter for the past 4 years, will still need to pass a road test to get the restricted M class license to continue to drive my scooter. However, for any moped license holders (without any training or testing) before November 28, 2005, they'll be grandfathered to ride a moped or limited motor scooter without any test - simply unfair! So what I'm asking is, since moped users get this special treatment, I strongly believe that anyone who held an M2 and wanted to simply drive a limited motor scooter should be grandfathered as well. It's only fair that the grandfathered policy be applicalbe to both moped and limited-scooter users, and it's based on experience rather than a bridge only to let moped users to continue to drive.
