[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 37441, member: 99"] There is a real danger of losing one’s motor bicycle licence entitlement at the age of seventy I obtained my full motorcycle licence in 1962 followed by a full car licence in 1975. My current paper licence was issued in 1980 valid until 2015 for the then categories – A - Any motor vehicle other than in group X, (X – motor bicycle, road roller; vehicle steered by its tracks; invalid carriage; trolley vehicle.) D - Any motor bicycle (with or without sidecar). E - Moped. It would seem that owing to the relative youth of the staff at the DVLA these ancient categories are as alien to them as 43/6d or the guinea and confusion can arise between group D and group X. It is not always understood that group D overrides the motor bicycle exclusion category in group X. It seems that holding on to the motor bicycle entitlement is down to the random decision of the clerk involved. Once the original licence is surrendered all proof is lost. There is no mechanism for appeal and photocopies are not acceptable as proof. In view of this would any members who have overcome this hurdle successfully tell us what measures they took to achieve this? Hugo [/QUOTE]
