Does any of you good people on here know if the law is changing in January to allow Class 1 driving tests to be taken in automatics?? One of the lads at work who takes drivers out for assesments wants to know. They now have to carry 15 tonne in weight as well don’t they? Thanks for your help.
As far as i know, You’ve always been allowed to take a test in an automatic. You can’t drive a manual when you pass.

Ballast weight is required now - 5 tonnes in a wagon - 3 tonnes in a drag - 8 tonnes in an artic trailer
If driver has manual B licence for example then from next month a test done with auto in any of the C or D categories will be given manual
There are quite a few recent threads on this issue
