Hi i hope somebody can shed some light for me i have heard recently that when you renew the photo driving license you lose some of the catergories for entitlment to tow.Does anyone know if this is the case as i have 1.5 years left to run on mine and i have a range rover classic and a caravan with a mtplm 1200kg will i still be able to use this combination thanks

I was chatting with a driving examiner today (having just passed my H licence test in a Warrior AFV!)...
 
... and he said that there have been a few instances but a low percentage. He advised that you take a photocopy of your licence (paper section) before you send it off so that you have evidence should the worst happen.

You wont lose that entitlement.

People who passed their test after 1997 do not have the b + e on their license, however they have the b.
now the b allows you to tow a caravan or a trailer that does not exceed the MAM of the towing the vehicle and as long as the combination does not exceed 3.5t.

But if you did pass before 1997 then you need to keep a copy of your current license so that it shows the entitlements in order for you to get the dvla to rectify it if they do get it wrong.

carls200tdi:
Thanks for responses as you have said i shouldn't lose entitlements the expiry date on the photo license is for the photo not the actual license finally found the infomation on the dvla website

muddyjames:
