Licence category shows B

imaginary_binary

Hi I passed my test last year. It shows category B but not B1. I think I've read they've stopped doing B1 or if I have B it covers B1 as well? Anyone know? (DVLA phone line has been blocked for over an hour!)

I don't see any mention of B1 on the website. Google shows that it appears to be a subset of B (3/4 wheels under 550kg) and should be covered by B anyway.

What are you wanting to drive?

As of January 2013 it's no longer a sub category of B, so if you want to ride a quad or trike it's another test.

Input your full details on here to see if your driving licence includes B1 or not.

As long as the gross weight is 3.5 tonnes or less.

Are you sure?

The way I read the DVLA website, Category B covers quads and tricycles.

Check out the commercial vehicle speed limits too.

Having looked again I'm not sure.

There's an age restriction of 21 for higher powered trikes and some of the provisional entitlements changed.

However it appears a mute point as the op wants to drive a van not a quad.
