    CBT is valid for two years so where is it recorded if you passed your driving test after 2001?

    I was only required to have one to sit my test, from memory it was a handwritten certificate.

    Both are used in English, but license is a verb, not a noun.

    But you still understood what was meant, right? Here's a definition for you to look up in the Oxford Dictionary:

    Oh and license can be a noun. Where do you think your local pub gets its licensing from? Or record labels license a recording from an independent artist? It is a license in that context.

    should that be "among" or "amongst"?

    I think some punctuation is needed in there ... as it stands I'm not sure what you're exactly asking.

    The way it reads to me is that you're asking "where is it recorded if you passed your driving test after 2001?". Your licence tells you when various classifications were attained. But I suspect you already know that, so ... what exactly are you asking?

    However, your current full driving license will give you provisional entitlement you to ride a motorcycle of up to 125cc after your have completed a CBT.
    He doesn't need a CBT for a Class P moped.

    From the DVLA driving licence checker...
    https://www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk/
    P.pngCategory: P

    You can drive motor vehicles with fewer than 4 wheels with a maximum design speed exceeding 45 kilometres per hour (km/h) but not exceeding 50km/h and which, if propelled by an internal combustion engine, has a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50cc


    <125cc are A1. The OP's licence is good for provisional with L plates, but needs to be backed up with a valid CBT (they expire).

    I don't drive a Mercedes any more, plus I'm not the one being anal about spellings when it is clear what is intended.

    Sorry to derail again, but can't let this one go. Since when was license a 'doing word'? Please, give us an example of 'to license' in a grammatical sentence. License is a noun (a naming word).

    Edit, you're using license as in 'to provide a license.' Not that some who wasn't a part of the DVLA or some other kind of licensing board, would use the word license as a verb.

    What's your excuse, MEM62?

    I was obviously let down by the comprehensive school system of the 1970's. Or it could be a residual effect of the years I spent living in the USA. I already bear the shame arising from my poor command of my mother tongue on a daily basis but should you wish to assign me some additional penance please feel free to do so.
