There is NO FEE to pay and 10-15 working days later you should receive your new licence which covers you for HGV / LGV driver training and lorry driver training.

5.     Study for the theory test. We conduct a free 1.5 hour lesson to assist you with your test preparation and should you choose we can supply the training books and discs for a small fee (optional).

6.     Pass the required theory test. The test is now a two part test and can be sat one after the other.

• Part 1 - 100 multiple choice questions (you must get 85 correct from the possible 100)
• Part 2 - Hazard perception 19 film clips  from which you must correctly indicate developing hazards. In this part of  the test you must achieve a score of 67 out of the available 100.

On passing the test: you are licensed to drive any rigid lorry above 7.5t towing a trailer no heavier than 750kg.

If you hold a restricted Cat D (automatic bus) then passing the Cat C upgrades your D licence to a full licence removing the automatic only restriction.
