Thanks for that iolanthe07.

But could you just confirm that you do mean all of them?

I would have expected the C1 and C1E for trucks up to 7.5 tonne to go, and the D1 and D1E for minibuses to go, but I would be very surprised and disappointed if you have lost BE for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes with a 3.5 tonne trailer too

That would mean that anyone over 70 might well have to either give up caravanning or sit a trailer test.

Yes - you're right. Sorry. I used to be able to drive a motorhome up to 7.5 tonnes, but now it is up to 3.5 tonnes, but I still have the right to tow trailers up to 3.5 tonnes.

I am over 70. BE was not removed from my licence at 70. No medical needed. But I did photocopy my licence before sending it as had heard some folk have had problems.

Any licence problems arose when the records were moved to the current computer system, as part of the move to photocards and online availability.
