Man admits to driving for 40 years without a license!


Recommended Posts

That was twenty odd years ago peter, I was young and naive. I'm a bit different these days as you well know.

 

I don't know you from adam, but if you have a car licence you can drive,

 

If you hold a full category B (car) driving licence you can drive a number of large agricultural vehicles:

 

goods vehicles propelled by steam eg large vehicles with coal or wood burning engines

works trucks (primarily designed for use in private premises or in the immediate vicinity eg dumper trucks/forklift trucks)

industrial tractors (tractors used mainly for haulage work off the public road, the vehicle must not have an unladen weight exceeding 7370kgs and have a design speed not exceeding 20mph)

agricultural motor vehicles which are not agricultural or forestry tractors (primarily used off the public road eg crop sprayer/combine harvester)

digging machines (vehicles which are limited to travel on public roads only for the purpose of proceeding to/from sites - used for trench digging or any kind of excavating or shovelling work eg vehicles with digging buckets/shovels)

 

goods vehicle which is not used on public roads or, if it is so used during any calendar week: - is used only in passing from land in the occupation of a person keeping the vehicle to other land in the occupation of that person - is not used on public roads for distances exceeding an aggregate of 9.7 kilometres in that calendar week

goods vehicles, other than an agricultural motor vehicle, used only for purposes relating to agriculture, horticulture or forestry: - is used on roads only in passing between different areas of land occupied by the same person - in passing between any 2 such areas does not travel a distance exceeding 1.5 kilometres on roads

 

Which you may never have seen or driven in your life, and makes a mockery of the licensing procedure.
