When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: La catégorie de véhicules du permis B du New Jersey (votre réf.) ne semble pas correspondre à celle utilisée en Fr. (votre réf. « Service Public »). « Permis de conduire » OK, mais « Permis B » trompeur pour un lecteur français ?

A Basic Automobile License (Class D) / Je ne suis pas de langue maternelle française. C'est pourquoi j'ai mis les 2 options et CL 3, pas plus.

: I have a nagging doubt that it COULD have something to with "automatic" (as opposed to "the stick" / manual gear changing) but I'll leave the research to those who see this as "so simple and obvious".

it's always possible to create difficulties when none exist. Imo no one learns how to drive manual any more in the US

Discussion
I ALSO have my opinion about people who undervalue their own profession (be it "within the rules" or not). Translators are known for their poor business sense, but starting a competition in shooting yourself in the foot is going a bit too far.
BTW a "certified translation" of personal documents is not be taken lightly, however it might seem "everyday stuff"
University degrees are also "pretty much everyday language" still I wouldn't see it at being the same as translating "how are you".
BTW this COULD mean "a licence to drive ONLY cars with automatic gear changing" - so you would see it simply as "a driving licence" same as the one you can get only if you know how to change gears manually?
End of digression.
With "friends" like you, the profession hardly needs any enemies ...
