Will I get away with this?!
Discussion
I'll keep it brief - I renewed my driving licence and it's come back with a full bike licence on it (A and AM)
If pulled by the police, will they know from the computer it's a mistake?
Also, am I right in thinking if you have a full bike licence you would have worked your way up and be showing P, Q, A1 and A2 in addition?
Just wondered, thanks in advance.

The DVLA do not make mistakes.
If a replacement licence omits any groups that you used to have then it becomes necessary to retake the relevant test.
This is why a motorcycle cop re-took his L test (after umpteen years of service) on a fully liveried Police bike a while ago.
It follows therefore, that if you have accumulated additional groups, courtesy of the DVLA, for which you haven't passed a test, it is your birthday.
I may have got the logic a bit wrong.

Rule Number One is to take copies and/or scans of everything that one sends to DVLA before sending it .
This is more to do with losing some of one's driving entitlements rather than gaining them, admittedly!

That's a provisional bike entitlement I'm afraid. The 79 next to full category A is the givaway.
Oh okay, so not a cock up at all then?Strange as they weren't there previously.
Tricycles used to be part of your car (Cat B) entitlement, but it's been moved to motorcycles now which has required you to have a (all be it restricted) motorcycle category on your licence.
