They have brought in tighter regulations.

For some categories you now need to take extra tests.

I know some changes were in 1997, probably more since.

I have just looked at mine(took it about 20 years ago) and says I can drive all kids of things. does that mean I can or I have to take a test?

well it was before I passed my test in 98. I think it was about the same time they changed the rules for how long you can ride a motorbike on provisional - about 95?

NO, if you have the categories on your licence then you are ok to drive those vehicles - unless you have been banned of course

People who have passed since the changes would have to apply for the relevant categories if they wanted them.
