AFAIK you can only have one type of licence and bike/car licences
are combined down here. They used to be seperate but they got shitty
because people who had both would get busted and lose one, then just
stay on the road using the other.

Licences can only be one type as well, either auto or manual. Not both.
You can't have for example, an auto car and manual bike on the same licence.
If they had an auto bike learner permit and licence, you'd only be able to drive an
auto car. If you already have a manual car licence, they couldn't restrict you.

I had my bike licence for 10 years before I got my car licence. Learned in an
auto car and did the test in an auto as well. Got to getting the licence issued
and they realised I already had the bike licence. Coz bikes are manuals they
had to give me a manual car licence.
