Apparently, I only have 3 points on record and not the 6 that are on my paper counter-part.

Cheers chap. Thumbs Up

Huh, no record at all of my A<=25kW period: they've robbed me of 2 years. This will become an issue if that's now the definitive record.

0 points, boss.

Licence issue number 09. I'm so forgetful...

Good effort!

Just checked mine and correctly says zero points, my last 8 expired at Easter.

One of the benefits of living overseas for 3 years, no points even if I get tickets over here! No requirement to change my UK license to Norwegian either, as local ones dont have the address on them, so can carry on until my photo part expires in 2020.

Ok that's ODD

I have category A and AM showing!

You can drive a motorcycle of a power exceeding 35kW or with a power to weight ratio exceeding 0.2kW per kg, or A motorcycle of a power not exceeding 35kW with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.2kW per kg and derived from a vehicle of more than double its power. A motor tricycle with a power exceeding 15kW

The only thing i've done to date is a CBT - how is the above even correct?

Ahh - monkeys. Their wording is weird for the restrictions stuff.

Ignore that Smile

Why is everyone getting so worked up about the issue number? What does it mean? Mine's 16.

Good find anyway.

I didn't realise I need to renew my license next year! So cheers Thumbs Up

Issue 32, but I've only had 2 changes to my license.

Anyway, I also thought that the "A" license description was weirdly worded. Happy that I can operate a road roller though.

And how can they see that I wear glasses from the DVLA office? Big Brother

That's the actual licence, ie the physical card, not your entitlements - click on your entitlements it'll give you a date somewhere in 2050 or whatever

I think it's because your optician records that you have a certain quality of vision. It also means coppers know you should be wearing them and if you have a crash ( and you aren't ) it may cause insurance issues.

Always carry a spare pair in the car / on the bike!
