AnonymousIf you passed your Car driving test after January 1st 1997 then you need to take a test to drive a vehicle with a maximum permitted weight between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes. This is a LGV C 1 licence.
If you are over 21 you can go straight to an LGV C licence which allows you to drive all Rigid trucks.
If you want to tow a horse trailer or tow a trailer behind a horsebox and you passed your car test after January 1st 1997, you will have to take a Car and Trailer test ( Licence B+E) or Lorry and Trailer test (C1 +E).
For those people who passed their driving test prior to January 1st 1997 they can drive vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes and tow a trailer with a car. However if you want to tow a trailer behind a C1 vehicle the law is quite complex and we recommend you telephone us for advice.
LGV Cat C vehicles are the same as the old HGV 2.
LGV Cat C+E vehicles are the same as old HGV1.
