Not during the test, it will be assessed by another party. Not quite sure how that will work but it will make the tests a lot quicker.Am I right in understanding you don’t have to do reversing on hgv test now?

How long were you in the pub??Was told today that if you passed your car test before 1997 then you automatically get grandfather rights to a hgv class 2.
Does anyone know if this is true.
Google seems to suggest it is.
No, the grandfather rights are to 7.5 ton rigid - C1 in the current system, similar to the old Class 3. Class 2 is over 7.5 ton rigid & is class C, Class 1 being CE. The definitive answer though is what categories are on the licence along with the restriction codes as the towing rules are slightly different.Was told today that if you passed your car test before 1997 then you automatically get grandfather rights to a hgv class 2.

Class 3 was a 2 axle rigid above 7.5t class 2 was any rigid above that and class 1 artics. You could go direct to class one and tow any trailer you wanted to behind a car.

Couple of hours.How long were you in the pub??
B is unlikely to be relaxed to 7.5t prime. C1E gives 7.5t prime with over 750kg trailer up to 12t train unless there's a code 107 restriction to 8,250kg.I wonder if they'll put the 10.25t gross weight back on the B+e like we had before. Where you could tow a trailer over 750kg behind a 7.5t lorry. Can still do it with a minibus/Small coach but not a lorry anymore
Yes but you can only drive a lorry with no reverse gearIf you pass your LGV "driving" test but fail the "reversing" test, do you still get your LGV licence?
3rd of drivers coming here aren’t great at backing anywayYes but you can only drive a lorry with no reverse gear
I can see why they didnt do the interview
Interesting video that popped up the other day.
