j0hn Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I recently passed my driving test and I received my counterpart and license with category B embedded. However, looking at the Provisional entitlements section on the counterpart I see that I have category A listed. Could this be some sort of mistake? The actual licence seems to be correct where it lists the dates for category AM, A (=<25K), B and fkpq. Anyone with a motorcycle and car licence willing to check if this is the case for them too, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirriePete Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Passed bike test in '80 - got A on the plastic with the right dates Passed car test in '82 - got B on the plastic with the right dates Also on the plastic are BE, B1, C1, C1E, D1, D1E, fklnp On the paper counterpart I just have provisional GH from my 17th birthday (loooooong time ago!) So, what's your question? How old are you? Have you passed your bike test? If so when and on what (125/DAS)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0hn Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Sorry, I should have mentioned. Passed my restricted motorcycle test (limited to 33bhp for 2 years) back in October last year and car licence about 2 weeks ago. The entitlements on my plastic seems to be correct, it's just on the paper counterpart I have A under provisional entitlements. I'm wondering if that's a mistake since the plastic has the right dates under the A section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Seems about right to me - you don't technically have a full bike licence until you've done your 2 years at 33bhp, so the A is provisional on the counterpart, the A(=<25kW) is full on the plastic. Once you get your 2 years out of the way you could send your licence off for amendment, but I wouldn't be bothered, you could just wait until you need to update your address or similar, or have to fork out for the 10 year photo tax that they screw us for nowadays....

j0hn Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Ahh! That makes sense, thanks for clearing that up for me, yea I'll just wait for that stupid photo tax don't know what AM means on a license. I think that's the new category for mopeds which replaced p.
