Bike/provisional car licence

Can anyone tell me, if you have a full bike licence does it also entitle you to drive a car on a provisional basis?
Thanks.

Thank you. And then presumably you take the theory test for car category B, using your bike licence. So what happens when you pass the practical car test? Do you hand in your bike licence as you would do with a provisional?

Hi,
Yes, you will need to present both parts when taking the theory test, and when you pass the car practical test, it will be sent away and exchanged for a full car licence with your bike entitlement on it.

and don't forget if within first 2 years after getting the B category, you'll get 6 points you'll lose both!
