Got my drivers license when I was 16 (1976). Back then, in Mississippi, a car license and a motorcycle were the same thing, so when I moved to Texas, in 1990, they had to give me a motorcycle license. In 1983 I got my international license Germany.
In 1999, I got my Class A license, with double and triple trailers, tanker and Hazardous Material.

I’ve never had a full motorbike licence. I rode a Philips Gadabout moped and then an Ambassador with a 250cc 2T Villiers engine, both on L plates. I took a test on the Ambassador and failed because the spark plug blew out of one of the cylinders during the test. The bike was pretty hopeless when that happened, so I failed.
This was shortly before I was due to become a fully-fledged TV engineer and I had to pass a car test in order to drive a company van. Concentrated on that and passed the driving test 2nd time.
It’s been a regret that I didn’t have a motorbike licence. I might have bought a bike at some time in my life if I had …just never got around to trying again.

How long have you had your Drivers License?
Since I was sixteen (1963) but I lost it recently due to diagnosis of sleep apnea.
That is sad. Do you miss driving?

No, not at all. It was a good decision to revoke my licence. I was aware that I frequently felt drowsy “at the wheel” although I didn’t know why. Anyway, public transportation is extremely trustworthy and the local network is free for seniors.
I am pleased for you.
Public transport can get us most anywhere we want to go at a fraction of the cost of fuel for our vehicles.

That’s exactly what I wanted to say but I didn’t know if you’d understand it. To be fair, it depends upon where you live and I can certainly understand those from the US who might disagree with me.
Not around here it isn’t Beretrick… 
When I was just a lad, the local council used to subsidise public transport (buses mainly) a visit to our local town about five miles away was as cheap as chips, just a few pennies, and there were about three privately owned bus companies all linking the surrounding villages to the main town of Doncaster and the markets selling locally sourced produce.
The subsidy was withdrawn sometime in the eighties and all the privately bus companies were taken over by some massive company and bus fares went sky high.

Quote…
In the months prior to deregulation, fare increases of up to 300% were enacted and staff redundancies across the company were carried out in order to cover running costs commercially. This included the withdrawal or conversion of conductor operated buses to one-person operation by 1986, which saw conductors either trained to become drivers or be made redundant from the company.[3]: 132
My Mum had been a bus conductor for 40 years and was made redundant. Although she could easily drive a double decker bus she considered herself to be too old to drive one now and took redundancy.
Anyway, I digress…
So now, even though I get to ride for free at certain times (and I like travelling on the bus) the council would sooner plough unlimited amounts of money into opening a failed airport (it never made a profit in almost 20 years previously) than cater to the needs of the local people. It costs over £2.00 now for a one way trip over the five mile journey into town, far more expensive than the cost of a litre of diesel. Not that anyone wants to go to Doncaster these days, they would sooner buy fresh? produce from the local supermarkets who import it from South Africa, Spain, New Zealand, and brussel sprouts from Morocco? of all places…

How sad. Here in Perth we can travel as far as Mandurah (70km) for as little as AU$4.16.

@Bretrick I’ve held a motorcycle licence since I was 16 and just 1yr later I passed my car test and all ticked along nicely until just recently at 81. A weird feeling had me visiting the local A&E where I was diagnosed with a heat problem which resulted in pacemaker being implanted in my chest along with the instruction to inform the DVLA. This I did and I worried until I received a letter with permission to drive, but, with conditions attatched. I must NOT drive for a full week after a battery change . . yep, I think I can cope with that😁
EDITED for a PS 
Being an old chap with a free bus pass, I do make use of it and leave the car at home if a bus passes where I wish to go
