Paul, to answer your query. It is a 40 year rolling but the change can't be made until the following January. Another 12 months for you. Best to ride it as much as possible to get your money's worth.
One of the problems I have found with UK Government Departments is that they predominantly employ casual labour, who they don't train particularly well.....as they may not be with them next week.......and link that to the dreadful dearth of rules and regulations that even a High Court Judge cannot fathom, and you have a recipe for disaster.A good friend of mine sent his Driving Licence to DVLA to update his new address and when it was returned to him, his Motorcycle Licence entitlement had been removed.......when he complained all he got was a series of 'Sloping Shoulders' as everyone denied all knowledge and he was left with one simple option - if you want to ride a motorbike again, retake your Motorcycle Driving Test!Maybe if enough of us bent the ears of our MP's, we might see some changes.
