Originally, it was possible to drive a three-wheeled Reliant with a motorcycle permit, as a full motorcycle permit included a B1 class endorsement, which gave a driver the right to drive vehicles with three or four wheels of up to 550&nbsp;kg (10¾ cwt).{{citation needed|date=November 2015}} However, the  [[DVLA]] ceased to issue the B1 endorsement in 2001.{{citation needed|date=November 2015}}

Interest in the Reliant increased once more after January 2013, when the licensing scheme was changed once again. From 2013, a holder of a full category A motorcycle licence over the age of 21 may drive a three-wheeled vehicle of any power. This age restriction applies to full Category B holders also. In a further change in 2014, the UK government created a new descriptor "motor tricycles with power output over 15kW" within the top-level category A (including its related driver age restriction of 21 years), into which the Reliant 3 wheeler range fits.<ref name="dvlacats">{{cite web |title=Bike categories, ages and licence requirements |url=https://www.gov.uk/ride-motorcycle-moped/bike-categories-ages-and-licence-requirements |website=GOV.UK |publisher=Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency |access-date=12 March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=What is the law relating to three wheel vehicles? |url=https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/ask-the-police/question/Q504 |website=Ask The Police |publisher=Police National Legal Database |access-date=12 March 2022}}</ref>

Because of these licensing changes, a Reliant Robin cannot be driven with a [[learner's permit|provisional licence]];<ref>{{cite web|title=Changes to the driving licence and categories|url=https://www.gov.uk/guidance/changes-to-the-driving-licence-and-categories|publisher=Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency|access-date=28 December 2015|date=30 November 2012}}</ref> unless the driver meets certain disability criteria.<ref>{{cite web|title=Driving licence categories|url=https://www.gov.uk/driving-licence-categories|publisher=Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency|access-date=28 December 2015|date=19 October 2015}}</ref>
