Additional information:

1. The last licence of this model is due to expire on 30.6.2006.

2. Licence holders who obtained their category A entitlement with the restriction to light motorcycles before 1.7.1996 are entitled to drive motor vehicles with a cubic capacity not exceeding 125 cm³, without a power (kW) limitation. This right remains until the driving licence expires. On issue of a new driving licence after withdrawal the holder is only entitled to drive A1 vehicles according to Directive 91/439/EEC. Ordinary exchange every 10 years does not affect the validity of the licence.

3. Licence holders who obtained a category B licence before 1 July 1996 are entitled to drive private cars with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3,5 t, as long as the vehicle is registered as a private car and not as a light lorry. This right remains until the driving licence expires. On issue of a new driving licence after withdrawal the holder is only entitled to drive B vehicles according to Directive 91/439/EEC. Ordinary exchange every 10 years does not affect the validity of the licence, which means that the above entitlement can be maintained after such an exchange.
