MCN is your licence valid
 

Check your licences
MCN this week is carrying a piece relating to how the DVLA has managed to 'mistakenly' delete the motorcycle entitlement off the licenses of hundreds of riders who sent their licenses away to have their details changed.

Legally - if it's not there you can't ride. It has affected ordinary riders, motorcycle instructors, and even police riders!

Check your license, if it's not there you have to re-take your test!

The DVLA are not budging on that one

And if you licence does not show the right entitlement, you will have to retake your test.
Check MCN this week

:shock:
This is similar to what happened my my mate Matt (the one with the Duc 748 that got stolen).... he had to retake his CBT, and DAS from scratch, again! :evil: :shock:

... I'll be buying it at lunchtime!

Bike Cat is A isn't it ?

Apauling. Their mistake and you have to cough up. Checked mine and it's ok. Feel sorry for any one who has to retake though. That really sucks sweaty donkey balls.

Thats well harsh! :shock:

But I guess if they werent hard on it it could lead to any old Tom, **** and Harry saying that they did have full motorcycle entitlement...

Fingers crossed mine comes back ok from the DVLA!! :roll:

creamerybutter mentioned that he had asked when he spoke to the DVLA recently. They say it's not true. Admittedly, they would say that, but I'm still not convinced. There should be a trail of some sort to show that you did have the category, therefore it can just be replaced.

Be interesting to see if someone affected tries to do them under the data protection act. I can't remember if they're one of the organisations which is exempt (lots of government ones are), but if they aren't, they have failed in their duties :?

I think I have some photo copies of mine somewhere... and my old pass sheet from when I'd taken my test surely that would show I was entitled.
Not that its a problem for me as I've got all mine still.

In the article a Police motorbike rider and an advanced instructor have both had to retake their tests :shock:
