If you require your Category H licence then you must first pass a test for a vehicle in Category B (Car). This is so that you can obtain the provisional Category H entitlement.
Generally, you must be at least 21 years old to drive these vehicle, although you may be able to drive them at 17 if you are a member of the armed force or if the maximum authorised mass of the vehicle is not more than 3,500kg. |
