Re the H category, I have this on my licence too as I passed my driving test in 1975. I always understood these categories to be provisional entitlement only ie under instruction. They do not entitle anyone to drive unaccompanied.

Regards

Paul

Its a simple matter to pass an H test in the UK though, there are several places where you can go to do this....

Paul is correct, you will have a provisional entitlement for tracklayers on L plates but if you have not passed a tracklaying test, you are not licenced to drive one.

thanks for all the inputs. I did try to speak with DVLA today, but gave up as the automated phone thingy was sending me bonkers.

Will let you know what DVLA say when they check the records.

On to my new problem now, see new post

Paul and Adrain are correct.

If you have a full UK license you can drive a tracked vehicle on a provisional with L plates and must be accompanied by somebody who has a full H licence.

To drive without L plates and not accompanied by a driver with a a full H licences you must take and take andpass a H licence test.

Do not drive your carrier on the public road without a license, it is an easy nick for plod !!
