Driving licence query/confusion

[Sealine South]

Hi.

I have a query over the categories on my licence.

Card part states:

B
B1

Counterpart:

A
BE
GH

Basically the issue is that the card says I can't tow anything decent but the counterpart obviously contradicts this. Both were updated at the same time when I moved house

I passed 15/4/97 and was one of the first batch to do the written test if that helps.

Thanks

The counterpart shows provisional entitlements, whilst the card shows what you hold 'full' licence categories for.

its the dvla, unless you kill a bunch of people when towing something i wouldnt worry about it.

Only a complete jobsworth mong of a copper would do you for it any-how.

And if you have an accident when you don't have the right licence, your insurance is going to say what?

Thanks. So I'd only be insured for the categories on the card part, if the worst was to happen?

With all due respect that's bks. I have a colleague who got pulled for towing without the right category on his licence. Luckily I'm an old bugger at 40 so no extra test for me.

Unless you have killed someone (or a bunch of them) I would just drive off quick, less hassle and no insurance premium increase. You dont want to get caught doing something your not entitled to do on the road. They would probably fine you for it.

Superb trolling sir.
