Vehicles (Driver's Licences) Regulations 1969, a licence granted under Part II of the Road Traffic Act 1969 (now Part III of the Road Traffic Act 1972) must be held before an applicant may obtain a heavy goods vehicle driving licence. This is the ordinary driving licence for a private car.
If a person is disqualified from holding or obtaining an ordinary driving licence then, under Section 3 (3) (C), he may not apply for an hgv licence.
Finally, under Section 12(1) of the Regulations, a person who is the holder of an ordinary driving licence who becomes disqualified must notify the Licensing Authority in whose area he resides and deliver to him, the hgv licence which he might hold.
It is obvious, therefore, that disqualification of the ordinary driving licence also involves suspension of the hgv licence. In that case you are unable to drive a vehicle of any description on a road.
