What is a Category C licence?
A Cat C licence is a type of commercial driver’s licence that allows an individual to drive medium-sized lorries.
This category of vehicle is commonly known as a “rigid lorry.” It is in contrast to a “articulated” lorry which is a larger and more complex type of vehicle. The maximum weight of a lorry that can be driven with a Category C licence is typically around 32 tonnes.
To obtain a Category C licence, an individual must first pass a series of theory and practical tests. The theory test covers subjects such as road safety, vehicle maintenance, and regulations related to commercial driving.
The practical test involves demonstrating driving skills, as well as a vehicle safety check.
Additionally, a medical examination may be necessary to ensure that the individual is physically fit to operate a lorry.

Benefits of a Cat C licence
Once you obtain a Cat C licence, the holder has authorisation to drive any vehicle within the weight restrictions specified by the licence.
However, it’s important to note that additional training may be necessary for certain types of loads or vehicles. This includes those that require the use of a trailer.
Holding a Cat C licence can be advantageous for individuals who are looking for a career in the commercial driving industry. This licence allows individuals to operate a wider range of vehicles and to transport larger loads. It’s a valuable asset for those who are looking for more job opportunities and greater earning potential.
A Cat C licence can also be beneficial for individuals who operate their own businesses. It allows them to transport larger quantities of goods, which can help to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
