My new driving licence has just dropped through the door, with cat A on it and it made me

Dunno why I shared that, but it's put a nice shine on the day

just a shame there isn't different licence for car and motorcycle, so that you can clock up points on diff licence!

Congrats on getting yours

mine arrived around a week ago
I was worried it was going to turn up at my door overflowing with points that I never knew i got but its still nice and clean (hopefully it will stay that way)

Just got back from a ride on the Hornet I bought. Good fun but I froze my nads off in the process.

Congrats on the new addition to your licence froggeh

I was out on the bike late last night, and early this morning... and both times I think I froze parts of me I didn't know I had LOL

(I'm still determined to be an all weather biker though, so that when the spring and summer comes I should have plenty of experience and miles behind me to enjoy myself that much more )

What does it cost to change your license?

I haven't sent mine away to add the bike to my license yet as I needed my passport for a couple of trips away.

I've also got to change address on mine and convert to the photo ID and I'm a bit worried that one of the tasks will end up not being completed and I'll have to send it away again at additional cost.

A mate sent his license away last year and they lost it. They couldn't find any record of him in their database either so he had to re-take his test!!! Very worrying that, I'll make sure I've got a complete copy of everything I send and it'll go recorded.

Mine dint cost a thing.. I gave it to the examiner who posted it to DVLA.. this way i get to keep the PASS certificate (just in case they loose my record).
If you have changed address, then there wont be charge to get a photo licence.

It used to be the case that vocational licences for PSVs and HGVs were seperate from car licences. They're now all on one (and called PCV and LGV (buses and lorries)).

It doesn't matter if you've a second driving licence if you get banned - the penalty is not against one licence or another, but that you're not permitted to drive for a specified period. Driving while disqualified is a very serious offence and can include time in gaol.

Equally the penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 30mph isn't an automatic ban - but it is quite likely to be a ban.

Once you get 3 points on your provsional licence you can only get 3 more before a ban is imposed.....

There are quite a few loop holes to get out of a ban, but its pretty hard to get away with it when your still on a provisonal.

You have to be carful as a learner you/we are always a traget to the police (traffic cops). I either get pulled over or followed by the traffic cops on a friday night, after work.

I wear a reflected jacket now and i aint been pulled over for a 'standard traffic stop' since 2/3 weeks ago! The police dont charge me.. they are just checking to see if i am pissed (on the road i travel on, there has been ALOT of Drunk Driving accidents so i can see why they do it).


If anyone goes on that road towards skipton (from bradford, just after the dual-carriage way ends) you may notice a couple of flowers on the road side (just before bradley on a sharpe right corner).. A friend of a friend died there 1year ago.
