Renewing categories

My c and e is due to expire this month. As I’m for an op soon I wasn’t planning to renew until I’m fit again. Are then any issues if there’s a break in service so to speak?

You must renew your licence without your ce, you cannot just carry on using the same card just because the car entitlement still has years to run, your licence expires on the date shown in box 4b on the front, it’s free to do but you must renew it, then as tachograph says when you want your lgv back you take your medical and renew your licence again.

I don’t think that’s correct.

You don’t have to renew the licence just because your HGV entitlement has expired, you need to renew your licence when the categories you want to use expire or before the date shown at 4b on the licence, whichever comes first.
