How to tell if you need a towing licence

If I'm ever in a similar situation to Rich, what would be the best way to preserve my C1+E 12000kg?

 

You cant. You missed the boat of keeping it years ago.

 

My understanding is that you already dont have that allowance even though it is on your licence.

 

If you have the time use the view a licence check system (you will also need you NI number) to see what it says & let me know please.

Doesn't that come down to taxation class? They used to be able to put some sort of living accommodation in HGVs which would enable a tax class change and someone with a car licence could drive it.

Keep the comments coming lads, JustMe is going to have a fit when he sees this lot :biggrin:

 

All campers now need the licence for the weight they are registered at.

 

No fit its all good stuff.:thumbup::thumbup:

Annoys me that when the computer system changed the licenses again in '97 that they automatically slapped the 107 restriction on our 7.5T rights.

At the time you did have the chance to claim the full 12000kg.

I did that twice. Sent the copies along with my letter of complaint. They just ignored it and rattled out the same tune.

Were they going to be good enough to tell me at some point?

I'd like to see them explain that one in court.

I won't be using the licence check either, I'm fukked if I'm doing their dirty work for them and flagging myself up on their system.

The licence check wont flag anything.

 

It just allows you to look at what points, full & provisional vehicles you are allowed to drive.

 

Ignorance of the law is no defence.

 

Its up to you to keep current re laws.

 

Its been in force for over 20 years.

 

But like I said I do not yet know for sure if a holder of a paper licence still has the 12000kg allowance or not. I was hoping to find out if you checked.

 

They did run TV & media adverts re this. Plus all registered haulage companies employing drivers were notified so they could get any drivers to claim the allowance.

Just checked mine, shows all my entailments as per my paper licence.

 

When does the plastic photo licence become mandatory?
