Has it got all them stupid updated categories on it????
Confused me when I got my new one back as they've all changed. (There has also been mistakes on some too, so double check it) make sure you've got all the categories you had before - i.e. grandfather rights for vans D1 etc. :y

And when they do make a mistake it's up to you to prove they have by providing your pass certificate which was impossible for me because I passed in 82 >:(

Back in them days you would have been given a Pass Certificate, which you would have had to send away the original to the people that issue your brand new licence,....... cant think what they were called,......... oh, yea, that will be the DVLA then. ::)

You don't have to send off your old one to get a new one, just promise to cut your old one in half and post it off to Swansea when you get your new one.

I didn't realise the two part test had come in so long ago ??? ...... I just had a few theory questions at the end. Got the count down on a dual carraigeway wrong but still passed :y

It was my bike test. I originally had to ride around the block and the instructor was walking and somewhere along the route he took his life into his hands and stepped out into the road and I had to do an emergency stop. He then made me do a U turn in the road and after that asked a few highway code questions and that was that. I believe the new 2 part test was a theory then a practical test, so much easier than todays ::)

I did my bike test in Dunfermline Nov 80 on a borrowed Z250. Not much difference between that & my GT250 2 stroke ........ I nearly went over the bars when I knocked it down a couple of gears & shut the throttle off like I did on mine :o ;D ;D

Yep,bike test as Elite Pete says,passed in 1970,as I turned 17.Car test was not too complicated back then either.Read a number plate chosen by examiner,drive car answer a few questions at the end and it was pass or fail.Passed that one 1971.

Dad never had a licence, as he was too old. Not sure if that restricted what he was allowed to drive?

National service was a wonderful thing, probably unrestricted :D

Just how old was he?? Licences are almost as old as cars in the UK,and testing of drivers started in the mid-thirties. Before that you paid for your licence, and were legally allowed to drive.
Only one of my grandfathers, who would be well over a hundred if they were still alive, took a driving test and that was so he could drive army vehicles

I think he just crept in before the tests....

Part one was just a practical test riding round cones in a car park at the test centre, pass that and then you could apply for your part two which was the road test round a housing estate with the aforementioned examiner walking round with his book. The only theory was a few questions at the end of the test, IIRC theory came in around the time of the CBT.

This was the bike test that I did. :y
On the Part 2 in suburban Exeter, I was a bit nervous and for some reason turned the petrol tap off and forgot to turn it back on when I started the test! ::) So I get round the first corner and conked out! :o I frantically kicked it over until it started again and then went hell for leather round the block to the last corner where I sedately went round to see the examiner waiting to jump out for the emergency stop! :D Lucky I knew that part of Exeter quite well and knew roughly where he could walk to! ;) :y ;D
Passed with no advisories! 8)
