It doesn't explain me taking a moped test in 2013 though?

The UK government introduced new motorcycle licence laws which came into effect in January from 2013. That's probably why as I have some 2013 crap on my licence as well.

It was off the back of 3DLD (which is the 3rd EU Driving Licence Directive)

The licence categories make no sense anyway. My HGV agency once tried to send me on a job driving a JCB Fastrac and trailer combo. When I told them that I can't drive one of those they informed me that they'd checked my licence and I could! I'm sure I was also licenced to drive a steam roller too but that doesn't mean to say that I'd know where to start!

Unless you took a test for category "g", why would you be?

The last time I had a UK licence, I still had to do tests for categories "g" road roller and "h" tracked vehicles to have a full house.

Those two are national categories and are covered by "w" here, which is the all-encompassing "works vehicle"

(Upper case) categories A to E are the same across EEA. (Lower case) categories f onwards are individual country codes which may be completely different.

I will admit to my dreams being happier than my waking life.

No, but I did manage to blag my Class 2 when the examiner was going to fail me.

My examiner wasn't happy about how close I (very slowly) passed a bin wagon with men loading it. She, yes I had a lady examiner, said she wasn't happy about the thought of me driving a rigid commercially so I told her that I only want my Class 2 so I can take my terminally ill father out in his preserved ERF for one last time before eventually using his ERF to carry his coffin.
