It's 4.5 tonnes. I passed my test 7th January 1998 so just after the change over of the licence types, so not sure.

I've read the threads on trailers, though they're specific to trailers ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ).

Thanks PH world

C1, I believe.

ETA: Yes, C1 (or C): http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensi...

^^^ Yup - that is how I read it too. What does your licence say?

Not C. Dammit.

Thanks though guys (apologies, I should have found that myself on the DVLA site!)

You'll currently only have C1 provisional entitlement.

Although if you're going to do the test, you're arguably better off doing the "C" which is rigid HGV. It's what I done. The difference in price between the 2 courses and tests was a hundred quid or so, but you learn in a much bigger, cooler truck, and you can drive rigid HGV's as opposed to only 7.5Ts when you pass.

I'm not sure I even have C1 provisional - I think from the DVLA website that I have to apply for that provisional, to then take the test.

I agree with you though - if I'm going to do it, then I'd do it properly

Something tells me she didn't start off in life as a woman.
