Grant,
sorry to interrupt, but current Ontario "A" class, tractor trailer (or articulated lorry for you UK folks) requires that you pass the test on a standard or manual gearbox. R

Robin,
Fair enough, but I don't claim to have an A licence, can only really speak to things within my experience and didn't think I said that you could get an A on an automatic (although there is the A with R endorsement that might let automatics in). I am 100% certain that B or D can be obtained without proof of competence on a standard transmission. I know that I have never been required to demonstrate competence on a manual transmission on any of my road tests (but all vehicles I own are manual transmission). Isn't an inadequately skilled person driving a large, heavy straight truck or a full motor coach or school bus scary enough?

Grant, your buddy who had the impaired charge should not have been able to drive any type of vehicle in it with a motor. Its Impaired operation of a motor vehicle. That charge usualy leads to a suspended license that can prohibit the person from being behind the wheel of any motorized vehicle. I know that even motorized lawn mowers being used on private property would be considered a breach of conditions for the inpaired charge. I'd think heavy machinery would easily qualify.

Cat H only for tracked units, apply for photo card licence but remember to put on that you wish to retain your tracked licence. (if you have it)

To my knowledge grandfathers rights do not cover this category of vehicle... So I think Ron is right, mind as a brick layer my experience with the DVLA is that nothing is straight forward with them and there are often anomalys with these things.... Contact DVLA ASAP before driving your carrier again

Re the H category, I have this on my licence too as I passed my driving test in 1975. I always understood these categories to be provisional entitlement only ie under instruction. They do not entitle anyone to drive unaccompanied.
Regards Paul Its a simple matter to pass an H test in the UK though, there are several places where you can go to do this....
