1.Where the holder of a ‘Klasse 2’ entitlement had his 50th birthday before or on 31.12.1999, his entitlement ceased to be valid on 31.12.2000. In case this licence holder exchanged his licence for a new model before or on 31.12.2000 the period of validity and the periodicity of medical examination for the new model applies. If a holder turns 50 after 31.12.1999, he has to exchange his licence for new model on his 50th birthday and thereafter a period of validity of five years applies.U.K.
Where such a licence holder establishes his normal residence in another Member State without being in compliance with the above rules, his ‘Klasse 2’ entitlement should not be recognised (unless he has changed his normal residence before the above rules apply to him).
2.Where a ‘Klasse 1’ licence of model D1 was obtained before 1.12.1954 (before 1.10.1960 in the Land of Saarland), the holder is entitled to drive category B 79 (≤ 700 cm3) in addition, without having to exchange the licence. At the exchange of such a licence, the holder is granted a full category B licence.U.K.
The above applies to model D5 only if a D1 was issued to the same holder before the relevant dates and exchanged to a D5 model thereafter.
3.In case a ‘Klasse 2’ or a ‘Klasse 3’ licence of model D1 was obtained before 1.12.1954 (before 1.10.1960 in the Land of Saarland), the holder is entitled to drive categories A1 and A 79 (≤ 250 cm3) in addition. In both cases the holder is granted an unrestricted category A entitlement when he exchanges the licence. If a ‘Klasse 2’ or a ‘Klasse 3’ licence was obtained after the above dates but before 1.4.1980, it entitles the holder to drive category A1 in addition.U.K.
The above applies to model D5 only if a D1 was issued to the same holder before the relevant dates and exchanged to a D5 model thereafter.
4.The holder of a ‘Klasse 3’ licence is also entitled to drive the following vehicle: CE 79 (> 12 t, but not more than three axles in total).U.K.
This entitlement has to figure on a new licence, which is issued to him in exchange only on explicit demand of the holder.
5.The holder of a vehicle of ‘Klasse 3’ is entitled to drive buses without passengers with a maximum weight of up to 7,5 t, also in international traffic. The holder of a vehicle of ‘Klasse 2’ is entitled to drive buses without passengers in international traffic without being obliged to hold model D2. After exchange of the models in Germany, the right to drive a bus without passengers is limited to German territory with application of a national code.U.K.
6.Where a ‘Klasse 4’ entitlement of model D1 was granted before 1.12.1954 (before 1.10.1960 in the Land of Saarland) it is not a national category only but entitles the holder to drive the following categories: A1, A 79 (≤ 250 cm3) and B 79 (≤ 700 cm3). In both cases the holder is granted an unrestricted category A and B entitlement when he exchanges the licence. Where a ‘Klasse 4’ licence was issued after the above dates, but before 1.4.1980, it entitles to drive A1.U.K.
The above applies to model D5 only if a D1 was issued to the same holder before the relevant dates and exchanged to a D5 model thereafter.
