The condition attached to provisional licences such that...

"The holder of a provisional licence authorising the driving of -
(a) a moped, or
(b) a motor bicycle with or without a side-car,
shall not drive such a vehicle while carrying on it another person"

...is to be found in Section 16(6) of The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999, which came into force 12th November 1999.
