Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) or Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) training to prepare them for the challenges of this type of career. Training also boosts their confidence; therefore increasing the likelihood of passing the requried driving tests conducted by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency or DVLA.
HGV or LGV licences are sub-divided into four: Category C, C+E, C1 or C1+E. To drive vehicles with a minimum weight of 3,500 kg with or without a trailer which does not weigh more than 750 kg, you should get a Category C licence. The Category C+E licence is needed if the trailer is over 750 kg. However, you have to receive the Category C licence first as a prerequisite for the Category C+E. In order to drive vehicles weighing at least 3,500 kg and at most 7,500 kg and which may tow a trailer less than 750 kg in weight, a Category C1 licence is necessary. For C1 vehicles with a trailer heavier than 750 kg, drivers must have a Category C1+E licence. This is after he has earned the Category C1 licence and the total weight of the vehicle and trailer should not exceed 12,000 kg.
