Yes and no....
Works trucks tax group covers items of equipment that have been built as works trucks and are explicitly not tractors or lorries that have had there tax group changed. So the likes of airport tugs, dumpers, forklifts etc.
The B license thing is dependent on weight and drivers age (18 for plant under 7.5t, 21 for over).
.A lorry can't be taxed as a works truck.
However a lorry can be run without O license and driven up to (I believe 10 miles) between a construction contractors premises or sites laden or unladen......

I don't think you could run it b +e but a few round here have lorries registered as recovery to circumvent the rules. There are also a pair of Iveco 4x4 ex pole lorries registered as tractors running around for forestry firms

Recovery was where my mind was at...
And before anyone goes daft it's all theoretical...exploring options.

Doesn’t something classed as recovery just reduce the tax cost, still requires hgv license

Had it on good authority...the 100k radius doesn't apply to much either... especially if you are on the cop contract

The reality is in this country not a lot applies. If you happen to be a gambling man the chances of being pulled over are pretty slim especially if the vehicle is taxed insured and looks ok.
I never get these plonkers on the TV shows that get pulled over for being a div and turns out they have no license or insurance. Surely it's common sense to only break one rule at a time

How many in here have ever been pulled over and how often? Be an interesting survey

zero carrying of anything other than vehicle related ... insurance would also be interesting to get without some form of recovery biz in place

My step sister is in the police. She says it is incredibly worrying the thought of what would happen if the general public realised how understaffed the police are. One Saturday night she was one of only 2 officers on duty for Medway and Maidstone.
