If a 3.5t has twin wheels at the back...

[jaffa2311]

can it be driven on an ordinary car licence still?

For example, this one;

I do not know this lorry, the owner, nor am I interested in buying it. It is purely the first example when I typed 3.5t in to ebay.

I have been told that you cannot drive one with twin wheels (dual axel? possibly? )

Please enlighten me!

Yes you can, I had a Bedford CF with twin wheels behind and was never pulled up for it when stopped by the police for whatever they wanted. I have the new licence that stops you driving anything decent. They do tend to be heavier though so less pay load but are a lot more stable.

Its not about the wheels its about the weight! You can drive ANYTHING upto 3.5t on a car licence taken AFTER Jan 1997 and ANYTHING upto 7.5t on a car licence taken BEFORE Jan 1997
