What class is that for big bikes and cars? (That covers little scooters too, right?)holidayinkh wrote:Forgot to update this until now... I received my real license cards about 3 weeks ago.
To get my license for both car and big bike, I simply had to go into the motorcycle shop with $106, 1 passport photo (they made copies for cheap), and my native countries drivers license showing validity for both car and motorcycle. I got a temp license from them a few days later, and picked up the real cards after 1 month.
This is quite current, since I went into the motorcycle shop first about mid July.
Cheers.

My better half has a license that I looked at the other day. On the back it explains (with pictures lol) what each "class" eg. A, B, C. driver's license allows you to drive. It seemed like B which includes B1 and B2 allows motorscooters. I will update. I do believe there were separate classes for motorbikes and "big" bikes vs cars vs Big Trucks/rigs.cambod wrote:What class is that for big bikes and cars?

Can you scan or take a picture of the back and post it here, as I don't think it has any personal info on the back.
And tell us what class it says on the front too?
Thanks!

Good question about little scooters... I had only assumed the A2 license would include them, but don't actually know that. Seems crazy if not. From reading around, it sounds like the "B" covers scooters also, but thats just from random websites.cambod wrote: What class is that for big bikes and cars?

Could be. I didn't really shop around. I could also have the price I paid wrong too, I'm going from memory only and no longer have the receipt.epidemiks wrote:seems... steep. had my B licence renewed last month for $33, same as original price in 2011. Enquired about the A2/big moto licence price and they said it would be the same price.
