Ive always said yes.
Pink license = full license

edit: Unless your applying to be a driver or expected to drive a car.

They will mean car. I think even an employment tribunal would find in their favour on the grounds that it is a term in common usage. But if you really want the job, you could always phone them and say you are taking driving lessons etc.

A tip I once read, if you are going for a job then phone up to ask specific questions. Make sure the questions are sensible, and they might remember you as being the keenest applicant. The tip was to phone after 5pm. Phone before 5pm and you will get fobbed off by some secretary type. Phone after 5pm and only the boss will still be there. Bingo - you get to impress the boss. It might get you an interview at least. You have to find ways to stand out from the others applicants.

Unsure, but why not pass your driving test?

You have a full bike licence, you wont find driving that hard. My guess is <20 lessons and passing the test 1st or 2nd time. That way you'll be able to honestly answer yes and should you ever unexpectedly need a car, you'll be able to drive one.

Worthwhile investment in my opinion. I used some inheratence money that I got to pass my test rather than going out on spending it on fun stuff.

Its very important to have a full car license anyway, for emergencies.

E.g. if a family member collapses and need driving to hospital or whatever, and you don't know how to drive, you'll kick yaself.

Just get it passed asap.




But, back OT - they basically want to know if you'll be driving to work or not - we all know how public transport is late all the time. Just put yes, with motorcycle in brackets.

I'd imagine the question implies you may be required to travel to somewhere else for work possibly or maybe to use a work vehicle which undoubtedly will have 4 wheels, I may be inclined to say yes because you won't be telling porkies (as such) you do have a full licence and they should have made it clear in the either the question or job description as to whether you may be asked to drive or travel else where.

It would be a shame to not get a job over something like a car licence which seeing as you have already achieved the road skills shouldn't take too much to pass.

The driving test is very easy, I booked 10 hours of training (including the test) and passed.

Just say you have a full UK driving license with category A (motorcycle) entitlement only.
