License question

[Tr1gg0R]

Right, I've got my cbt tomorrow and they've sent me an email that's prompted a question about my license. The email asked me to bring my license and said "The licence must show provisional entitlement for Category A (motorcycles and scooters) or Category AM or P (mopeds)."

Now my license just has B, B1 and fkp.

I've read the dvla website which says:

You automatically get provisional entitlement to these categories with a full B (car) licence: B+E, G & H.

Does that mean I need to apply for a provisional specifically to ride a motorcycle? I've never heard that and I've read a few threads here and o the dvla website but can't find a straight answer.

I would have thought I automatically have provisional entitlement but am now not so sure!

Hope you can help.

Cheers

As far as I'm aware all full car licenses come with a provisional motorbike entitlement (don't quote me on that).

You used this?

You sir are a hero, checked that and have provisional A.

Can't thank you enough I had started to panic a little.

When I did my first one at 17 it was a choice if you wanted bike entitlement otr not

Fr3dom of choice then you knoe

With counterparts being binned, are training schools now verifying provisional A online? If so, they need to assplain that clearly beforehand so that people can generate the passcodes.

When I got my first licence, a motorcycle provisional, it had a two year limit on it. If I didn't pass in those two years then no bike provisional for a year. Seems a bit mad nowadays.

I reckon that at this point the actual piece of plastic is really just a form of photo ID. Anyone who needs to know is going to ignore it and check online anyway.

That's exactly what the cbt bloke said, it's good for ID and that's about it.

Hey guys. I am a little confused as my licence check and actual card state I have Cat A.

This is the screen shot from the web check. (attached)

Does this mean I dont have to take a test??? I renewed my licence a coupe years ago had it since about 2001.

Thanks

19th January 2013 is when the 3DLD came in.

I suspect that they've epically spacked that one up.

You could give them a call, but remember: the DVLA never make mistakes, so if their site insists that you've got full A, then there's no way you can prove that you don't.
