Insurance comparison experts have advised drivers to check the back of their driving licence to ensure that they are qualified to get behind the wheel of certain vehicles.
According to car insurance pros from Quotezone.co.uk , many drivers are not aware that they are only qualified to drive certain vehicles after passing their test, and that they may have to take additional tests to drive other types. A driver’s insurance will be invalid if they are driving a vehicle that is not covered by their licence.
Drivers are particularly advised to check the back of their licence as there have been changes to motoring laws over the years which could affect which vehicles they can drive. Those who passed their test before 1997 are automatically qualified to drive a much wider range of vehicles than those who sat their driving test after this date, WalesOnline reports .
