I apllied for a replacement Driving Licence a while ago and have just got it back today, the old one was a paper Licence and the new one is a Photocard Licence, so what you say?, well I have just noticed I have lost 2 groups from it!, there is no mention anymore of my entitlement to Ride either motorcycles or Drive HGV's as before (I passed both these tests years ago in the middle 1970's!), will the DVLA have records of these test passes as they were taken so long ago?

no way will I ever take a test I already passed!, it's innocent till proven Guilty here too still by the way!!, otherwise it's known as "Corpus Juris"!, the onus is fairly and squarly on them to prove I am not entitled, till then I shall carry on Driving!

got my Licence back on Friday (been away) and it still has the same two groups missing and I am still driving and will continue to do so as it's their own incompetence all of this and I need my bike to work, do they not realise it's affecting my ability to work!(I work shifts 20 miles away and there is absolutely no alternative but my bike to get to work!)

Should I now give up work or risk Driving without the correct Licence?

no I am not being paid as I cannot work at the moment, anyway today I have been Dismissed from work therefore so far the DVLA have cost me my job of 12 years, loss of use of my Motorcycle needed to find another job and if they don't sort it out soon loss of my House as I can't even pay the Mortgage at the moment either, OH and to cap it all I rang the jobcentre today and they said I can't claim jobseekers allowance as with whats happened in my case is classed as giving up my job voluntarily

Good these Government databases arent they?

hi DVD, well as I aint got the bottle to "do" it as you see I am still here, the upshot is I am not prepared to re take any test I have already passed (why should I?), I am currently on jobseekers allowance after a much lower paid non Driving job, have also been warned off contacting the Media

thanks for all your support, threat was just from a low life DVLA employee incidentally, bloody cheek!!!, shame I forgot to get his name as could have sued him?
the thing is about re taking my tests I would never pass anyway, take the bike test for example, once round the block 90% of it out of sight of the examiner in those days, "pass" he said
