licence groups

[matt1e]

hi all
Im filling in A job application and can't find my driving licence
they need to know what groups I am entitled to drive. I know the groups differ now when you pass your test
I passed my test in 1984 so can someone tell me what groups are on it
cheers

cheers r1
do you have entitlement to drive up to 7.5 tonne? I'm sure mine has I think the new limits are up to 3 tonne now

[R1Geezer]

dunno, I don't have the bit with the notes on with me, 7.5 ton does ring a bell though

Ok many thanks again R1

At your age you would have C1 on your licence, allowing you to drive a seven and a half tonner.

Personally I would not advise it without training.
