Correct answer
Ten years, unless a shorter validity applies.
Ten years. For category B, the general validity is ten years while the holder is under 65 and five years from that age. Medical circumstances may shorten it; check the licence expiry date. An expired licence does not authorise driving, although renewal may be requested.
