An HGV license, or Heavy Goods Vehicle license, is a certification that allows individuals to drive large vehicles, such as trucks and lorries, that exceed a certain weight limit. This license is essential for professional drivers who transport goods and materials across long distances. To obtain an HGV license, candidates must pass a series of tests, including a theory exam and a practical driving assessment. The license is categorized into different classes, depending on the size and weight of the vehicle, ensuring that drivers are qualified to operate specific types of heavy vehicles safely.
