If little Johnny is riding to the shop in a dangerous manner on the road and is being a danger to himself and other vehicles then if a passing policeman, PCSO or council warden can stop him and ask to see his proficiency licence.
If he hasn't got one, they can fine his parents or confiscate his bike, or just give him a warning however they see fit

where would it be applicable

applicable to anyone that wishes to ride a bicycle on the road with other traffic.

and how would you identify those who took the test and those who didn't
|
Same way a police officer identifies those that have a drivers licence and those that don't, you ask them for it.

No probably not but the same guy possibly cycles on tow paths and cycle routs in his spare time and should he be forced to get insurance

or he may just spend half a day and get his licence.
