Understanding Licensing Requirements for Lorry Drivers
Obtaining a commercial driving license in the UK requires understanding specific licensing requirements. Prospective lorry drivers must pass various tests, including a theory test, practical driving assessment, and a medical examination to ensure they meet the necessary health standards.
The licensing process can vary depending on the type of vehicle being driven. For instance, HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) licenses require additional training and testing compared to standard car licenses. Familiarity with these requirements is crucial for anyone looking to pursue a career in commercial driving.
