How many license classes do you hold?

[Motu]

Got stopped on saturday night for doing 80 in a 50kph zone in my car,wife and kids aboard - I got away with no ticket But I was suprised when the cop looked at my license - WOW! what license don't you have he said....just hero worship that got me off.

I have classes 1,2,3,4,5,6....don't know what they all mean,but I have car,bike,truck and trailer.I consider that quite normal,but obviously this cop hardly ever sees that many classes in license checks - so what classes do we hold on this board,just bikes,or maybe a whole lot more?

[What?]

I have classes 1,2,3,4,5,6....

Me too. Stuffed if I'd want to go through getting them all now, though - apparently it takes 5 years to get class 5!

I've got the lot too.

I would guess 90% of us hold classes 1 and 6. All the other classes just take too much time and money to complete.

I only have classes 1 & 6 because I've never needed any others. I trust you guys with more license classes have them because you have needed to use them at one time or another. There's no other point to having them is there?

I worked with a guy who had every license listed! It was quite impressive to see his old paper type license with A,B,C,D,E,F,G...he was in his 60's and had owned trucks & taxis, etc. He was one of those guys who always had a story to tell, his opening line would be "I remember the day..."!

Whoa, whats with everyone holding every licence under the sun!

I've got 1 and 6 :P

i've got 1, 2 and 6. can get by on most things with those classes. any more just cost unnecessary cash to renew. wouldn't mind getting a class 5 though, opens options for part time driving if the need arises.

The new classes aren't exactly what I sat licenses for,but it doesn't really matter,I drive the odd truck,but doubt if I'll ever drive a B train these days - you hope ! I guess it must be a lot harder to get different classes these days,more regs,tuition,vehicle hire....so people are less inclined to just add something extra to a license - I was just suprised at his suprise at what I consider pretty basic classes to hold.I drove lots of tractors on the road without a license,but not many had a license for them,so guess thats why it has been dropped.We were building a new tow truck when new licenses and regs came in,so we dropped the whole idea.

My father had everything,but sat nothing,common in those days....he drove more oddball stuff than I ever have.

I feel so inferior - just the 1, 6.

Had em both for 18 years now. I was a late starter to the whole licensing thing and it was when the cops started telling me they were going to book me that I went and got legal at age 19.

I guess time have changed - you wouldn't get away with it now...

[SPman]

Im feeling inferior too - only got 1 2 4 6 F R W !.....Also PPl, Firearms, Ramset, PADI Advanced Scuba etc,bla bla bla.(or are we only talking vehicle licences here)

[wari]

1 2 4 6 F R T W ... Whats 3 and 5 ... I better go 'em !

As a matter of interest does anyone here have a PPL? I started to learn years ago but didn't get far because of the cost. Thinking about taking it up again.
