My current licence is a pink'un dating from 1976 - the last time i changed address.
It gives me categories A and E only. I think categories must have changed since then because 'A' is any vehicle except Groups D, E, G, H and J: i.e. motorbikes, mopeds, roadrollers, invalid carriages, tracked vehicles. Group E is moped. So far, so good. By elimination, I can drive anything else which does not require a separate licence, like HGV's and PSV's.
However, I am thinking of getting my licence changed to a credit card style picture one. I am comfortably short of 70 so the need to update the picture in 10 years is not a problem. I have a concern, though. Does anyone know if the DVLA will re-issue the licence with the current categories and could I lose my entitlement to drive a MH (3500kg)?
