Common questions
- What does code 107 mean on a driving licence?
- Not more than 8,250 kilograms. A weight ceiling on the combination. It is the figure that appears on pre 1997 car licences with grandfather rights.
- Where is code 107 printed?
- Column 12 on the back of the photocard, on the same row as the category it applies to. A code against one category does not apply to the others, so you can be restricted on a car and unrestricted on a motorbike.
- Is code 107 a UK code or a European one?
- It is a UK national code, from the 100 series. It has no equivalent on a licence issued elsewhere, and DVLA publishes it in the same flat list as the harmonised codes.
- What happens if I drive outside a code?
- It is driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, endorsement code LC20, which carries 3 to 6 penalty points. It can also affect an insurance claim, because the policy assumes you were entitled to be driving.
