Downgrade
When you no longer require a class of licence other than car, you can downgrade your licence by having any additional classes removed. Take your licence to a Service SA customer service centre and a replacement will be issued at no cost.
If you're 70 or older and have been asked to submit a certificate of fitness because you hold a class of licence other than car (eg motorcycle or heavy vehicle), you may decide to remove those additional classes. When you do so, you will only be required to submit the certificate of fitness if you already have a medical condition recorded on your licence.
