Driving Licence Question(s)

[WildGoose]

if pink licence holders would be so kind as to grab their licence for a sec...

4a. Licence Valid From 20-09-02 (in my case)

on the reverse in the little grid boxes, next to cat A, it says From 10-09-02...

why is this different to on the front? do you have similar things?

4b. Licence Valid Until 13-08-11 ???what happens in 2011? on the back it says To. 25-06-55 which sounds far more reasonable

lastly, those who have had a restricted licence lifted...what do you do to remove the =<25KW from the back of your licence, is there a formal form you need to acquire? are you able to legally ride a full power machine if your licence doesnt indicate it? despite your 2 years being up

cheers..

20-09-02 was when you got that specific photocard. The one before that was your provisional. Therefore, that licence card is valid from 20-09-02.

13-08-11. I would assume this is 10 years from your first provisional licence issue date, and so he date that you would need to get a new photo for your photocard licence.

When your 2 years are up you can ride full power, regardless of what the licence says. To get the 25kw bit taken off your photocard you need to send it in and pay about 20 quid for a new issued licence. No special "restriction removal" forms.

I've got my full unrestricted licence now though I've yet to think of a good enough reason to pay money to get a new card.
If you get pulled they can look at the dates and work out you've got an unrestricted licence.
