Mate of mine seems determined to take the LGV test. (no matter what I tell him about the job prospects).

I’ve searched through posts, these three come closest, but can’t find exactly what I need.

The last one’s OP statement is similar to his in that he has had his licence some 20+ years but does not have LGV/ PCV entitlement. There is one problem in that he has not informed DVLA of a change of address some 5 years ago. :open_mouth:

The question is in which order would it best for him to proceed with his application:-

Apply for change of address to his present licence first and then apply for LGV entitlement or do the whole lot at once?

(What problems is he likely to encounter with DVLA after not informing them of change of address?)

Thanks

THIS any help :question:

change of address - no prob with DVLA but would be with law if he got stopped - they allow only ‘a reasonable time’ - 5 years is a bit beyond that :exclamation:

Not sure about your exchange rates Tiger, a motorbike ashtray or a chocolate fireguard seems a bit steep for a HGV licence. :laughing:
