Yes, I had a long argument with them, and did something called ‘share my license’, and they still insist that I have a full car license. To be fair, it does state that on the DVLA licence check, but it goes on to clearly list what categories I can drive, and what I can provisionally drive.

No, I had a provisional car license. But my new bike license states that I can provisionally drive car B, so I don’t understand the issue. But my insurers insist that I have a full driving license, after looking at the exact same DVLA check that I’ve just looked at!

I’ll try that! It’s a shame though, because Admiral is by far the cheapest quote. And when I go on ‘Check my Licence’, it clearly lists the categories of motorcycles I can ride, followed by ‘vehicles you can provisionally drive’. How an insurance broker can’t read a UK licence is beyond me!

It’s clearly shows on my license that I have no category B. On the front of my license, it states AM/A/k/q. Every time I try to sort out my learner driver insurance, I get a message saying the wrong license has been selected, which is stopping my insurance payment from going through. Even after going through ‘check my license’ maybe they don’t often encounter a learner driver who has a full bike license, that’s the only reason I can think of!

I passed my full bike license a couple of weeks ago, and they took my provisional car license, and I received my new license in the post. When I rang up to try and get learner driver insurance, the DVLA check said there was a problem with the license, and Admiral declined to insure my car. They ran a DVLA check on me, and insist that it’s not a provisional car license, but a full car license. I’m so confused! So now I have a full bike license and a car that I can’t get learner insurance on. Whats going on here?

It’s probably a 70. I don’t feel visible enough, and it’s hard to judge the speed of traffic coming up behind you. Even when hugging the verge in the slow lane, a car undertook another one at high speed and came so close me that I nearly got hit. Really shaken up!

I have been out on the dual carriageway for the first time since passing my CBT, and found it easy when it’s quiet, but scary in rush-hour. I have to pass four slip roads on the way home, but my bike only goes at 55 miles an hour, and it’s quite dangerous if I indicate right and move into the fast lane. But staying in the slow lane doesn’t seem to be an option either, in case I hinder the entering traffic. Earlier I ended up in the centre of the dual carriageway, with a stream of traffic coming in on the left, and traffic hurtling by at 90 miles an hour on the right! I can’t seem to find any information to help me with this, and I’m terrified to try again.
