Government Consultation on Driving and raising standards in HGV instruction

10 Aug Government Consultation on Driving and raising standards in HGV instruction

Below is a link to a consultation by the Government on driving heavy vehicles. These include whether to grant drivers who have category B car licence entitlement additional entitlement to category C1 (7.5 tonnes) goods vehicle entitlement and whether to grant drivers who have a category B licence entitlement to a minibus category D1 licence.

In addition to other ideas on licence categories, there are proposals to raise the standards of HGV instruction and improve pass rates and to permit a person who has held an HGV category C licence for 2 years to drive PCVs for maintenance and repair purposes.
