Bike/car license mishap

[Sam_Y_93]

So I passed my car test last week, had my licence sent off to the dvla to have it put on there. I got my licence back today and now I've lost 2 years on my bike pass date, as if I didn't pass until my restriction was up.

I've heard people having this problem before and how it can cause issues with insurance, is there any way to sort this out or are these 2 years just gone now?

They are gone, should have applied for another pre-test so you had two

Do you have a scan of your old one? Send that to insurers.

At least you still have your bike entitlement on it. More than some poor sods .Still a shit situation though...

[Sam_Y_93]

To be fair I have got another licence lying around somewhere, but this means I then don't tell them I have a car licence, which can only bring premiums down surely?

I'm not sending mine off until my photo needs renewing, for this reason. You're not getting those years back.

My hope is that in 8 years time, 2 years shouldn't make too much difference on my pass date.

That always happens Sam, your paper counterpart will have the date you originally passed.

This is the sort of stuff that you should be taking up with your MP.

Hey,
The same thing happened when i had the car entitlement added to my licence.

Surely It simply shows the date from which you have had your FULL unrestricted licence? As When restricted it shows (I am drunk and racking my brains here) A<XXKWH?

Cheers,
Shaun R.

Look on your paper part at your entitlement history... Its all there.

They did the same to me when I passed my car test in 2012 having passed my bike test in 2004

[Easter Bunny]

I lost my 7.5 ton, minibus & towing grandfather rights when I sent my licence back once to get points wiped, didn't notice it for quite a while. They agreed to re-instate them when the pass date of my car licence could only mean I had them.

They are going to have my licence again in a couple of weeks as I've got to do my PSV licence soon.

Luckily still got all my pass certificates and a spare licence with just the bike entitlement on there so shouldn't have any problems in the future

All my pass certificates and everything to do with me getting my bike licence are hanging of my wall in a4 frame

[gavbriggs]

Just do a request for copies of all information held on you. They can charge an admin fee of £10. Then if there are any pass certificates etc in you file so to speak you will get a copy.

Then send a copy off stating they have made a mistake and must correct it.

It's easy!! And worth a try for a tenner!

I deliberately keep my old licences and report them lost instead of sending them back for exactly this reason

Due to epilepsy I've got to have my licence renewed every three years, not had anything fucked up so far - bike or car.

You've all got me worried now!

My policy when I need a new licence, like others on here, is to "lose" the old one and just cough up the extra ££ for a replacement.

I'm sure if I looked hard enough, the "lost" one would probably turn up in the event of shenannigans.
