• From 1 January 1998 drivers will be prohibited from moving some chassis-cabs to and from body builders on car licences.

Changes to the licensing rules will affect chassis-cabs and tractive units without fifth wheels. A category Cl licence will be needed to drive incomplete vehicles with an actual weight between 3.5 tonnes and 7.5 tonnes; a category C licence will be needed over 7.5 tonnes.

Gerry Brown, managing director of Congleton-based bodybuilder BoaHoy. fears the new rules could cause a temporary shortage of drivers.
