Correct answer
No, obtaining A2 does not restart that period.
No. A licence is not considered obtained for the first time if another licence of any class has already been effectively held for at least a year. Obtaining A2 does not restart that period. The prompt specifies effective possession: the first-year count can be suspended by loss of validity, seizure or deprivation of driving entitlement.
