Q511: If I have been banned from driving do I have to re take my test?

Answer If you are banned from driving you don't have to automatically you have to re-take your test. At the time you were disqualified the court will tell you the exact terms of your disqualification. Although the courts do have the power to require you to take a driving test prior to obtaining your full licence, it depends on the offence committed.

An LGV is a vehicle that weighs over 3,500 kg (3 and a half tonnes).
 
Drivers will need a different licence entitlement to drive different types of buses, coaches and lorries. Drivers must hold full (not provisional) category B entitlement (car) before they can take an LGV or PCV test . They must also gain a full category entitlement for a vehicle before taking a second test to add the trailer entitlement (+E). No additional entitlement is required to tow trailers that weigh less than 750 kg. If at any stage the driver loses their car licence entitlement, they will also automatically lose their LGV or PCV (Passenger Carrying Vehicle) licence.
 
Every person intending to use a goods vehicle (above 3.5 tonnes) in connection with any trade or business carried out by him, or a Passenger Carrying Vehicle on a road, for hire or reward, must apply to the Traffic Commissioner for an operator licence. The role of Traffic Commissioners is to promote road safety and the safety of the travelling public.
 
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), on behalf of the Traffic Commissioners, maintain the Operator Licensing scheme. DVSA process all Operator Licence applications. The DVSA website includes comprehensive guidance on how to apply and manage licence details, which can now be changed electronically.
 
Further information can be obtained from either the DVLA or the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DSVA).
