    Hi All,

    Cant seem to find a straight answer on this. I have a full cat B driving licence for over 10 years but my licence is due for renewal soon. Just wondering because I have cat B does it mean that I can add Cat A1 onto it without doing a test?

    I know years ago once you had a B licence you could drive a bike up to 125cc

    Thanks!

    no you cant its a completely different licence category, you can however add a M to it, which will allow a 50cc scooter to your licence.

    If you want to add any class of A licence its a new theory test followed by IBT training.

    The short answer is No and Never

    Its a differnt catagory ie car/ motorcycle

    You could never ride a 125 motorcycle on a car licence.

    You could however ride a moped up tp 50cc at one stage when you passed your car test

    That is no longer the case

    You must do theory test and the IBT 16 hrs compulsory training
