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.

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.

It's because of harmonisation of vehicle categories across the EU.
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.
Thanks!

Not that I was going to ride without a genuine licence anyway, but it clears it up!!
