Licence Question

    In 2007, I applied for a provisional permit for A & B categories. Took the car test in 2009 and got the full licence.

    My full licence also has an A category entry on it, valid til 2029.

    Am I right in thinking I also have a full motorcycle licence? I definitely never took a motorcycle test.

    does the A category have numbers after it? 79.04 means Trike

    It'll be code 79.03 which is only for trikes.

    Trikes used to be under class B but are now class A, so anyone who had a full B licence long enough ago to have trike entitlement gets class A with code 79.03 when they renew their full licence.

    To ride a two-wheel bike you will need a motorcycle theory test and then a class A learner permit and IBT.

    Some leaning three-wheelers have the wheels far enough apart to be classified as a trike, but most don't and are licensed as motorcycles.

    Stupid tbh, if it leans then you need the same skills to ride it as any other motorcycle, trikes proper don't lean and are steered more like a car.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
