Just my two pence worth.

If you were to be driving outside of your licence entitlement, with or without the opinions stated on this thread would your insurance pay up in the case of an accident?????

I think, and I havent googled or researched this, but....I think you agree that everything about you and your vehicle must be legal when you take out the policy,

Therefore, if you drive whilst unlicenced (?) then you're not legal on the road. therefore your insurance company would probably/possibly say your policy is not upheld, if thats the term, but basically I think maybe you could be nicked for driving whilst uninsured. possibly, its a thought, subject for discussion, all that stuff.

- "The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996"

This is not a matter of opinion, be it DVLA or anyone else - it's on the Statute Books and is the law in the UK.

Keith (Sprokit)


Before you all start a round of applause why does it say in section ten "restrictions on the grant of large goods and passenger carrying vehicle drivers licences"

The statutory instrument if you bother to read it refers to LGV's "Large Goods Vehicles" which an RV is not.

Still only mentions the MAM of the vehicle, not what you use it for, or carry in it, or if you get paid in money or moneys worth for carrying anything in it.

Unless I'm going completely mental.



which, on reflection, (especially on this subject) is a fair possibility. Confused

Olley, its clear this thread is getting to be the same as that one,

I have a new theory, which goes along the lines of:

There aint a definitive answer which all will accept.
Therefore, I'm going to suggest that,

theres some who say you dont and some who say you do need a C class licence for over 7500kgs. So, you can either, take the test or not, it 's up to you.
Anyone, from either side of the fence who says, " I told you so " if any repercussions happen will be shot. With a blunt bullet.

My personnal decision is, if I get written undertakings to pay the all my legal costs, I'll risk prosecution and not take the test.

up til then, I'm going to do it.
