Has anyone had their licence downgraded to provisional by DVLA?
Find answers to your legal question.

I passed my driving test about 4 years ago. I failed to file the paperwork to upgrade to full licence. I applied for a photo licence recently and I have been downgraded to a provisional licence and told to re-take my driving and theory test again. Is there any way out of this. My driving licence was clean: no offences at all.

WelshLad	4 years and you never bothered to upgrade it, next time you won't be so stupid, let this be a lesson learned. sorry it's harsh but it's true.

Dennis - 1	It seems like you've been driving without a valid licence for the last two years, you've only got yourself to blame

Michael B	You're an idiot.

Miss Leona	you have 2 years after your test to send of your provisional licence and get your full licence. If you didnt do this its not recognised as you have a full licence so you will have to retake your test again and send of the paperwork this time. Mabey you should take a few lessons before you take yor test. your theory only lasts 2 years after you take it so you would have to do that aswell sorry xx

DUNNO	it does say if you dont upgrade you get a provisional,what a s**t ,sorry.
