What do I need to be able to drive a 4.6T at 23?

Hello,

Can anyone shed any light on what I need, cost and how to get what I need to be able to drive a 4.6t wagon or even 5.5t?

Thanks!

You need a category C license to drive over 3.5T. Costs vary according to where you learn. You need a medical certificate to apply for the license ~£80. The theory tests are about £30 which you must pass before the practical test. A weeks learning ~£1200. So I bought a 3.5T!!
Hope this helps

What she said, but actually it would be a C1 license, since it only entitles you to drive up to 7.5tonne. A full C license allows you to drive over 7.5tonne and articulated lorrys (i.e jugganauts). The C1 is the equivelant of what lucky older people have.

I think you may have to be over 25 though?

i think it's over 21 to do the C1
