Class 2 HGV (Class C) Driving License for Driver of Large FLT
Rank: Forum user

Not sure if this is the right forum, but, if a company has their worker drive their 23-tonne weight FLT between two premises on an industrial estate (less than 1,000m distance, no goods carried), is it a prescriptive requirement in UK law for the driver to hold a Category 'C' on their driving license (Class 2 HGV)?

If you are looking for an exemption, decide why. On the face of it almost all industrial estates are classed as a public road and the road traffic act could apply, including licences, insurances etc etc
As it’s an fLT, class B reqd (( check reg 3(4)a MV(driving licences)Regs’99))
Insurers may have higher demands.
Check DVLA. As can’t see exemption from being registered and taxed (even if it’s zero tax).
It’s not a goods veh, hence no need for HGV2.
Assume driven without a load.
Check dimensions incase it comes under an STGO dimensions - primarily width. If so, may need to get permit for each movement!

Thanks. Yes, the forklift is insured, registered, taxed, with number plate fitted. It's the driver that is the point of interest. Yes, no goods carried. Thanks for theg other criteria, which will be checked.
