Passing your HGV has never been easier
11 February 2022
Passing your HGV has never been easier.
With the Government allowing car drivers to jump straight to Class 1 (C+E) driver training, changing your career is easier than ever to achieve.
You no longer need to pass a Class 2 (Category C) first.
This means once you pass your test in a large articulated lorry, you’re allowed to drive:
- a medium-sized lorry (C1)
- a medium-sized lorry towing a trailer (C1E)
- a large rigid lorry (C)
- a large articulated lorry (CE)
This will widen job opportunities and hopefully help with the HGV driver shortage.
