does this mean i can drive a 7.5 ton lorry?

swerv

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

BM08

swerv

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
