Training straight to class 1 (c+e)

ROG:

I cannot see any reason for a Cat C provisional to be upgraded to a class C+E automatically.

I cannot see why not either = simple computer input

Ok by now everybody probably knows you can upgrade your licence via email.

extraprovisional@dvla.co.uk

You need only put your :-
NAME
DRIVERNUMBER
DATE OF BIRTH

No need to write anything else as it is an automated system.

The response is within a few minutes and you can use this reply along with the email you sent and along with you licence you have a class C+E. You will need to print off the emails and keep them with you.

By using these emails you are deemed to have no change in circumstances eg Medical, Convictions/Points etc since you originally applied. Common sense has prevailed!
