Driving Licence

[missacs1984]

i am thinking about starting my own mobile shop. do i require another type of driving licence? I passed in 2002 and hold a full UK car licence. it has the catergories: B, B1, f, k & p on the back, but not sure as to what these mean, other than te B which is obviously a car. i\'m assuming a may need to take soe other form of test perhaps?

Mostly depends on the type of vehicle you will be using?

As said, depends what you want to drive. You can drive anything up to 3.5T MAM(Max Authorised Mass) on a B licence. This covers most vans like Ford Transit size. From 3.5T to 7.5T you need a C1 and over 7.5T you need a C. Also, if you did go over 3.5T, you would need a tachograph fitted. Theres lots more legal 'ins and outs' at http://www.loadsofvans.com/Pages/view/17/It's%20The%20Law

thanks guys. i'm assuming it may be bigger than a transit van as folk would need to get into it. i'm thinking something along the lines of a library van / ambulance size so i'm thiking i may have to take another test :(
