Re: Driving licence codes
How old is your Mum's licence? (The physical document that is)
On a licence issued before 1990 Category A was a car, not a motorcycle. If she hasn't had any reason to renew/exchange it then it might still be showing the old codes. Any copper stupid enough not to spot that has no business looking in the first place. |

Re: Driving licence codes
Fairly recent, it's on her photo card. The codes are just very confusing.

Re: Driving licence codes
Is the Code on the back Code 79(tri) in relation to the A part of the license?
If thats the case, thats to cover tricycles, (those 3 wheeled piaggios, renwacos, reliant 3 wheelers etc) This will not cover you to ride a motorcycle. I queried this with DVLA when i saw it on a friends license and he was convinced he could ride a motorcycle legally. Check the back, as AlexAdams has already said, i suspect you will see this there. |

Re: Driving licence codes
Depends whether it is for "Groups" or "Categories". Being ancient, mine is for "Groups", I have A,D,E as explained here
https://www.gov.uk/old-driving-licence-categories Group A was basically all the 4 wheel stuff (and swept up all the limited versions of those such as groups B (auto), C (light trike) etc and included E but not D), D was motorbikes, E was mopeds.
