Hi all, first post since signing up ages ago but I’ve got a question regarding my lgv theory test expiry.
I did my theory test, 7.5t driving test and cpc with the company I’m working for. Yesterday I passed my class 2 test through a training company, and want to go onto my class 1. I’ve been told that because I’ve now passed my class 2 my theory test expiry date will be extended by another 2 years, but someone else has said it doesn’t extend my expiry date.
Does anyone know which is true as this will ultimately decide on how soon I do my class 1?

My understanding is that it doesn’t extend it because you don’t need to do theory from class 2 to 1!
I stand willing to be corrected but I think that should be you sorted now
Technically speaking, all you’ve got to do now is learn how to pull a trailer with a lorry. That’s all the ‘plus E’ bit is, there is no logical reason why you would need to redo your theory as you’re still driving a lorry around.
The above is quite correct - you’ve passed your “class C” licence so you can now drive anything under class C with a trailer up to 750KG. By doing C+E all you’re doing is extending your class C licence to include trailers above 750KG hence the +E bit. So no theory tests required since you’ve got the main qualification, ie: class C.
So because I’ve passed my class 2 I can do my class 1 even after my current theory test period has expired? If so that’s great news so I don’t need to rush doing it.
Thanks for clearing it up for me guys [emoji3]. Hopefully I can beat my 1 minor on my next test!
It wasn’t a question about categories as such, just that it’s due to expire soon as it’s been nearly two years since I initially past my theory and 7.5t and I don’t want to be forced to do it again so I can take my class 1.
Whoever told you your theory has been “extended for 2 years” is wrong,once you’ve done your class 2 that’s it for theory tests,you do not need to do another one before taking your class one.

Thanks, the guy that told me is known for being a numpty I just wanted to clear it up for myself.

You made it about categories by referring to C1 C & CE
