[scoosh-89]

Just a quick question hoping someone will know the answer.

After my 2 year restrictrion do i get a new licence sent out as my current one states that i am only elegable to ride up to 25kw.

Thanks.

I was wondering the same to be honest. I was just planning on taking the restrictors out and when my licence needs renewing in 8 years i was just hoping it wouldnt be there anymore

[plowsie]

Yeah same, mine needs renewing in 8 years. Took restrictors out and hey ho its on with life we go.

Can you apply to get it changed?

[golop]

I understand rules about restriction like that....
(Im 19 now, and I have similar situation)

Ive passed my full licenced test...and I have to have for 2 years restriction on my suzuki SV 650 S....
but after two years time to get normal full licence, You have to send your present licence with application to DVLA, and they will send New one (without restriction note on it) to You.
Cheers ;)

Do you have to pay for to have it updated? Im planning on doing some driving lessons so say if i pass my test and have to send my licence off, passing my car test once my two years is up would they update the bike entitlement too?

[golop]

Well, if you will send your licence to DVLA, after you pass your car test, and youve ridden for 2 years with restriction, they should automatically change your motorbike license, as well. It doesn't seem to me that you will have to pay any extra money to change motorcycle license.:)

Back here to say how it went, because I will have same situation in a future...I have in my plans to do driving license.

But, it's only my presumption.;)

There is a charge to get it changed.
My licence runs out on the 11th (must remember to post it off) due to the photo on it being too old.
So I now have to pay to keep my licence up to date?!

Cant see a problem with the old paper ones....

Oh and if you do send off your licence to the dvla, photocopy it first for proof of entitlement as they have a bit of a habit of losing information.

I lost my class one for a few weeks when I moved house...cant see how by changing the address they managed to lose an entitlement!!

Dont think you need to send anything off when the restriction is up.Somewhere in the small print on your license it says <25KW for two years and there is a date.So it automatically updates after that time.

this is correct, checked thro small print when no.2 son passed few weeks ago.

You have to pay £17 if you read i think to get it off there. Safe to say i won't be paying £17 to see it gone.

Mine and ploppies still says we are restricted... Think I lost mine about 2.5 years ago... Oh my, how time flies! :(

Besides, well all lose the entitlement If we send them in. Bloody DVLA!

change your addy online next time and they send your new licence in the post then you can compare them side by side before sending you old one in, thats what i did, and if you have problems you can go to the dvla office or send the new one back saying nope its wrong

Check the sticky in http://www.pepipoo.com ,speeding and criminal forums. Lots of people have lost entitlements when they send their paper licenses back. The DVLA are happy to put them back on if you can prove you had it. Oh wait, it was on the paper license that they have now destroyed.... oops better take the test again then.

If DVLA require a change in the license (photo too old, change of address) there should be no charge. Its only if you request a replacement one (without old points showing, lost etc.)
