Confused about provisional licence

[AceRimmer]

Ive got a car licence which I passed in 09/00. Does this mean I have a provisional licence to ride upto a 125cc without doing a CBT? I did a CBT in '99 so im hoping I dont have to do another

On my licence under provisional entitlement it says:

A
BE
GH

No, you need to do a CBT again cos they're only valid for 2 years.

Thanks for the info.

I rang a training centre today and have booked my CBT for next week. Should be a nice day out . I was getting confused because I thought it meant I could drive anything upto a 125 because I passed my car test before 01, but its only mopeds.
