You have to send your license away.

I was told you can just keep the old license as its computerised.
If we do need to send them away i better do mine soon.

You don't have to, but if you want the <?kw taken off you have to send it away.

in part 10 on the back of your card part of the licence it shows the date you gained entitlement (your pass date) so it can easily be seen wether that 2 years is finished or not..
you dont need to send it back to have the =<25KW taken off. just wait until you change address or your licence is due for renewel.

You don't have to do a thing but you CAN get it updated for free by the DVLA.

I got pulled post-restriction and they tried telling me that I HAVE to update it else it isn't valid. They ended up calling the DVLA there and then and were proven wrong - to my entertainment!

you cant have a different license colour for bikes as when you pass another test e.g car, you get it on the same license.

So if you get done for speeding or drink driving the points go onto the same one.

I wish folk would either learn to spell or lose the awful American spelling! Learn to spell please.
Yeah I know, I should have joined the Grammar Police

Isn't colour the proper English spelling and color is the American way?
