Does anyone have a restricted A2 licence? If so can you tell me where is says that my licence is restricted as I can't find it on mine.

In the codes section on the back of the licence it should say =<25KW. That what you mean?

It doesn't say that. It just says I have a full A licence with no restrictions.

Hmm I think they might have mucked up. On my test cert it says I was doing the A2 test but on driving test report it says I was doing my A test.
I definately did the test on a 125. Better call then DVLA this very second and let them know.

So leave them in for a bit and once you're bored of 33bhp just taking them out, simple isn't it? Smile

Nice one, I wouldn't report it. Yeah like the others say on the back of your license it will still say Category A, but in the codes bit it will say <=25KW.

Heard of someone in MCN who got his license back from the DVLA with
bus entitlement!!!

I wouldn't say owt, but stay at 33bhp for a while, just incase they ever doubly check stuff.

ie its not rocket science for them to do a query of test booked against licensed achieved. Simple SQL query.

Yeah, my vote is for leaving it all alone too. Since you've got the restrictors in already, leave them there. Take them out when you get bored of them.

I'm afraid there isn't a Thumbs Up "lucky bastard" rating.

Er you can take your A2 restricted licence test at any age 17 upwards.

It is not compulsory to do a DAS.
