The Government has no plans to review the current vehicle licensing categories or driver entitlements for road construction vehicles.

Some construction vehicles can be driven by those holding a category B licence, however, vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, including HGVs, require a Category C licence, road rollers Category G, and tracked vehicles Category H.
