Can I drive up to 3.5 ton on my licence?

Hi guys n gals

As the title says really. I passed my test in 1999 and it says on my licence that I can drive cat b and b1.

Does this entitle me to drive a vehicle up to 3.5 ton?.

Thanks in advance

Not having a dig but it surprises me how many people ask for advice regarding legislative issues on this website rather than going to the government website:think:

The website is a little on the long winded side for a simple soul such as myself.

Thanks again for yor help

Just to add, you can also tow a trailer, with a maximum authorised weight of up to 750kg.

The maximum authorised weight of the trailer can be higher than 750kg, depending on the weights of the towing vehicle.


You can tow a trailer on a 'B' licence, as long as the maximum authorised weight of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle, and the maximum authorised weight of the combination does not exceed 3500kg.
