what license do you need to drive one of these in the UK?
@choppergray1 Жыл бұрын
Hi there, sorry for the delay. It depends on the process you go through when registering it. The standard weight limit for one is 3850kg which puts you over the limit for a standard B licence in the uk. I went to direction on legally downplating it to 3500kg which means loads of benefits. My wife can drive it without further tests. We can tow a trailer without have to have an HGV test. My wife can pull a trailer without having to do any test since the change in rules last year. The law considers it a van now and as such you don’t have to stick as rigidly to tachograph legislation.
