how much does H licence test cost ?

[Ron Pier]

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,

garage is all sorted just i have a heap of a range rover on the driveway.. my pal asked me to weld in a pair of sills (so i was told) but as per usual classic range rover there is more rot than solid metal so its turned into a massive job. good news is he is going to pay me so that should go towards the carrier. she will be home before Christmas though i am very very eager to get on with her now.

Yes, Congrats!!! Rich.
I went for mine about 14 years ago.
I had to first answer a paper test correctly. The the machine of choice was a JCB digger with a log grapple on it. The officer asked me to shift some logs. I told him that i'd never done that in my life, so he then told me "just to drive it around a bit, and then park it in the gap between the log piles"
That was easy, just slew the top around and drive in. Slew the top around again. Done! Pay the bill.
That license allows me to drive any thing here on tracks, because over here we have a light and heavy class. The JCB was heavy enough to qualify for heavy self laying tracks, and so I qualified for both.
