If it's not costing you anything Collin go for it. :wink:

I got HGV2 back in 1990 and last year work put me in for HGV1 and PSV

If it's free go for it. :D

The HGV test, though nowadays it's known as; LGV; Large Goods Vehicle) is split into 2 main groups

1. (catagory C+E on your licence) is the classification for articulated vehicles, also it covers larger (over 3.5ton?) trailers like the turntable trailers.

2. (catagory C on your licence) is rigids (7.5ton & above)

There are sub-catagories for the heavy stuff (50tons+???) & training/testing for hazardous loads
Am I reading this right?

Its starts with C1 which is the old HGV class 3. With C1 you can rigid drive vehicles between 3.5 and 7.5 tons (such as bread lorries and the like). C1 + E allows you to take a vehicle and trailer with a gross train weight of less than 7.5t  

Basically a C licence is the old HGV class 2 which was rigid vehicles as you have said. With a C licence you can anything wheeled of any legal weight provided it is not articulated or towing a trailer. Therefore it covers you for C1 automatically. However, you cannot take what is classified as a large trailer (over 750kgs). C vehicles are depicted by yellow and orange stripey hazard plates on the back of vehicles.

C + E covers your B + E (car and trailer), C, C1 and C1 + E allowing you take take any combination of truck and trailer up to any legal gross train weight on the road. You can drive anything wheeled on the road. These have hazard plates similar to C but no stripes just a blank rectangle.

The other licence letters are D which is coachs and minibuses etc and D + E which is coach/minibus and trailer up to any weight.

G is road rollers and H is tracked vehicles and plant up to any weight.

People with licences aqquired before 1997 will have B + E, D1 (minibus) and C1 on there normal car licences.

ADR is the old HAZMAT and HAZCHEM and is a course covering the transportation of hazardous materials. You must have ADR on your licence to transport hazardous goods or you must have an ADR trained person in the vehicle whilst driving.

I know this because I am a Recovery Mechanic in the army and therefore have C and C + E on my licence. I am also ADR trained in case I have to pick up a vehicle with Hazardous goods (fuel and ammunition) and the driver is injured.

In a recovery situation C + E is required because the wrekker is the C and the Casulty is the E (it is being towed).

Any questions on the stuff reply and i'll answer them as best i can...

Dave

PS Good luck on your C course and don't worry if you have been driving a car for a while its pretty simple to do.

Thanks for the info Dave, got to do a sit down multiple choice test first though :shock:  :?

And had the sign a form saying I'd pay back the cost (£1000) if I left within a year. :evil:

The Theory Test is the hardest part lol. The Hazard perception is really hard.

I Got put through my Class 1 Where I worked when I was 21. I have made a good living out of it and until the "Working time Directive " started it was looking rosy, but alas im about £10.000 a year out of pocket now :evil: . It's a shame that no one told me they were going to trash my career 18 yrs down the road.

I wish id done plumbing or something similar now.

Does HGV1 also cover you for HGV2, or do you have to do both?

Mrs Thelobster passed her test after 1997 so would need to do the basic HGV test if she wants to drive the 101 (which she doesn't particularly).
