• From Monday (August 13) drivers of under-3-ton-ulw recovery vehicles "fitted with apparatus designed for raising a disabled vehicle partly from the ground and for drawing a disabled vehicle when so raised" will be exempt from the need to hold an hgv driving licence.
This amendment (which supersedes one in SI No 1956) is contained in The Heavy Goods Vehicles (Drivers' Licences) (Amendment) Regulations 1973, SI No 1212, which also allows drivers in the service of a Visiting Force to benefit from the same transitional arrangement for claiming hgv licences as applied to British drivers when hgv licensing was reintroduced in 1970.
