how much does H licence test cost ?

[Ron Pier]

Well done Richard! Lovely feeling isn't it? Like you and after some discussion with the testing authorities, I also took mine on private land.
Health and Safety issues here in UK, require that if you drive a vehicle where the general public is involved (like shows or rallies). You must have a licence for the vehicle you are driving. So taking a carrier to a show on a low loader will work fine until an accident occurs. I'm no Goody two shoes.....just stating the way things have become since H&S has taken over our lives.

so guys, can I take my test in the T16 on my land? Point being that it does not have indicators, nor is it likely to . I have toyed with the idea of wiring up a set of temporary easily detachable lights, but in essence can I use it for a test without these on?

Andrew the H test seems to be a bit of a grey area. With local areas determining the rules as they see best.
I took my test in a vehicle without indicators. So I had to use hand signals. You might have to jack up the drivers position a bit to do that in a carrier. Far better to mock up some temporary winkers. You'll have your hands busy enough steering it. Ron

as per the latest issue on the DSA exam book the vehicle must be road registered so no tipping up with a mini excavator. i would suggest that you do fit lights and indicators even if they are magnetic ones ala carrier Barry. after all it is merely a simple switch and a relay. a couple of light boards stripped down then linked up to a small switch panel

or as Ron says in the case of a carrier (which was not fitted with said lights at the time of manufacture use hand signals) but i must stress it will make it much harder for you.

my advice would be to do it in a CVRT if you can, excellent vision and great control surfaces. carriers are very hard for reverse or view from behind...so you would need to fit a load of mirrors on her matey.

Hi Richie,

Congratulations on passing your test matey! Well done.

Here in Holland we have no such license, i.e for tracked vehicles. I can legally drive my carrier with my truck C license.

So, now you have to get your carrier ready for Beltring! Is your garage all ready for her?

Cheers,
