I lost my C1+E on my driving licence when I turned 70, can I get it back?
When I turned 70 I only got a B+E, I had my C1 and C1+E. I am now 74, can I apply to get my C1+ E reinstated on my driving licence?

The rules are that when you reach 70 years of age the C1 element of your licence is automatically removed, but you can have it reinstated if you have a D4 medical examination. Assuming you pass you can then contact the DVLA with your pass certificate and get your C1 entitlement restored.
