Can someone please confirm if you can drive a unit with a fifth wheel with a class c (ridgid licence only) I was under the impression you can’t.
Yes as long as your not coupled to a trailer.

Yes you can, it was recently discussed here.
Under the old pre 1991 UK HGV rules a driver would need Class 1 to drive the unit but when the EU changed us to LGV in 1991 the rules changed
Thanks lads that clears that up then.
No!
You have to unbolt the fifth wheel and replace it with a big red sign saying - I AM NOT TOWING A TRAILER.

A Frame wagon and drag on a class 3 = good
Unit on a class 3 = bad
That’s Britain for you.
