You
will need to take a theory
test if you want a licence
for a new category of vehicle,
for example, if you have a
car licence and you want a
motorcycle licence you will
need to take a theory test.
If,
however, you want to upgrade
within a vehicle category
you will not normally need
to take a theory test, for
example, if you have a full
automatic car licence and
you want a manual car licence
you will not have to take
a theory test.
It
is your responsibility to
make sure you have the correct
licence for the vehicle you
are driving. If you are unsure
if you need to take a theory
test please contact the Driving
Standards Agency (DSA) or
the Driver and Vehicle Licensing
Agency (DVLA).
