Understanding Your Automatic Driving Licence
What does an automatic licence allow me to drive?
Someone with Category B automatic entitlement can drive Category B vehicles, but only automatic ones. GOV.UK’s licence information also identifies restriction code 78 as the automatic-transmission restriction.
Because licence entitlements can vary according to an individual’s circumstances and when their licence was obtained, clients should always check their own licence and the current GOV.UK guidance rather than relying on general information on a driving-school website.
GOV.UK — Driving licence categories
Not sure what you’re entitled to drive?
Your driving licence shows the categories of vehicle you’re entitled to drive and may contain codes showing particular restrictions. Always check your own licence and the latest official GOV.UK information.
