Common questions
- What does code 115 mean on a driving licence?
- Organ donor. Not a driving restriction at all. It records that the holder joined the NHS Organ Donor Register when applying.
- Where is code 115 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 115 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.
