I thought its cars/vans(not any lorry types) and trailers.

does this help?

 

what do you think you can drive?

 

i passed in 2001 and ive got the same as you

 

well, car, van up to 3.5 ,ton people do say i can drive up to 7.5ton but im not sure, tow a trailor/caravan, minibus upto 12 seats,

i hear so many different stories i dunno wot i can drive

 

i have those too

 

what have you got on the back of your card?

 

 

B, B1, f k p

 

Vehicles between 3500kg and 7500kg with a trailer up to 750kg
C1
18*
Combinations of vehicles where the towing vehicle is in subcategory C1 and its trailer has a MAM of over 750kg provided that the MAM of the combination thus formed does not exceed 12000kg and the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen mass of the towing vehicle. (If you passed your category B test prior to 1.1.1997 you will be restricted to a total weight not more than 8250kg)




does this mean i can drive a 7.5 ton lorry?

 

just those then?

as you said you didnt beleive what was on your card?

you cant drive 7.5t as above then or caravans or trailers over 750kg

i thought you may have a gifted licence, i have seen them get it really wrong in the past and thought yours might be one

 

according to that site you can drive.........
Motor vehicles with a MAM not exceeding 3500kg having not more than eight passenger seats with a trailer up to 750kg. Combinations of towing vehicles in category B and a trailer, where the MAM of the combination does not exceed 3500kg and the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen mass of the towing vehicle B
17*
As cars, but with automatic transmission
Motor tricycles / quadricycles, three or four wheeled vehicles with an unladen weight not exceeding 550kg
Agricultural tractors
Mowing machine or vehicle controlled by a pedestrian
Mopeds

 

you have answered your own question, you dont have a C1 on your licence, so no

 

lol this is confiusing

 

i have

B
BE
C1 Vehicles between 3500kg and 7500kg with a trailer up to 750kg
C1E Vehicles over 3500kg with a trailer over 750kg
D1 Any bus with more than eight passenger seats with a trailer up to 750kg
D1E Any bus with more than eight passenger seats with a trailer over 750kg
f Agricultural tractors
k Mowing machine or vehicle controlled by a pedestrian

n
p Mopeds

 

are you confused with this?

(If you passed your category B test prior to 1.1.1997 you will be restricted to a total weight not more than 8250kg)

if so this is how it works, if you took your 7.5t test now (c1) you can drive upto that weight, also you can tow a trailer upto 750kg if you passed your CAR test after that date above.

if you passed your car test before that date then towing weights are higher

hth
