    Hi,

    I did my A1 test on a 125cc scooter so I thought it would be restricted to automatics... But I don't see it on the restrictions.

    Have your licence in front of you,'an call up the dvlc/a directly to fully explain all categories to you as you recite them,
    if at any! point the operator is unsure - give them a reliable contact no. (mobile) you'll have on you no matter where you are.

    I don't get it, if you did it on auto it goes without saying it will be auto restricted?

    That's what I thought but the only restriction listed is that I have to wear eyesight correction.

    Yeah that's what I'm saying, I don't have a code 78. I just have code 01 which means I have to wear my glasses. I'm guessing they made a mistake. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter.

    If it isn't on there then as you said they must have made a mistake.

    I always found it odd that you could ride a geared bike or an auto on a CBT yet as soon as you do an auto A1 licence you then cannot go back to a geared bike...? It might be something to do with that where by they just write up all A1 licences as allowing you to ride both.
