I have a full class 1 (car) license. It is due for it's 10 year renewal 12/5/15.

I was wanting to get a class 6 (motorbike) learner license at the same time, but from what I read, these are only valid for 5 years.

Will doing this have the effect of shortening my class 1 license to 5 years as well?

Jase2985: yes because its on the same document

the difference is the class 1 is a 10 year renewal, which includes a new photo

the class 6 is an expiry, so if after 5 years you dont go to your restricted the class 6 expires and you will get a new license with just your class 1 on it, weather its got the remaining 5 years on it or it resets the 10 year cycle i dont know


Not true - according to the new licenses, you can have multiple expiration dates. If a class or endorsement expires, you don't get a new license issued.

However, when I got my Class 4F recently, it renewed my Class 1 and Class 2 at the same time.




Hmmmm
