    Hi,

    My understanding is that learner drivers cannot be accompanied by N drivers. How is this enforced? How can you tell if a driver is an N driver? I understand license issue dates etc but there’s no way to know if this is their first license, right?

    The date you got your original licence is on the back of the licence. So for example, I'm on my second full licence and it was issued in 2013 but on the back it says "valid from" x date 2003 "valid to" x date 2023.

    Just Looked at my licence there and it says 24/6/87. I know I definitely had it by 1983. Would 1987 have been the start of this practice?

    Perhaps, but I would wonder if a it was simply a copying error when you got a renewal at some point. It happens frequently.

    It may have been when the categories were realigned (what is now B used to be C).

    My licence says 14/03/88. I've held a licence continuously since the middle of May 1972. :D

    Some categories are inexplicably back-dated. My rigid truck and bus licences have the same date as my category B licence yet the artic truck and bus with trailer are a much later date (i.e. long after I got the licences). And the 4 motorcycle categories all have different dates. :confused:
