On a normal driving licence, what is the largest size vehicle I can drive?

I think I'm right in thinking anything up to 3500kg, but i don't know what size van that equates to, any ideas?

    I can't help with what size van that is but how big a van depends on your licence. They have changed the rules at least once on what size van you can drive on a standard licence so someone passing their test now can't drive vans as big as, say me as I passed my test *cough* 20-something years ago. So check your licence!

    On a standard car licence, if you passed your test before 01.01.97 you can drive up to 7.5 tonnes. If you passed after that date you can only drive up to 3.5 tonnes. (Used to work for DVLA).

    If you passed your test after 1997 it is 3500kg gross. In term of van size I can legally drive my Renault master horse box with 2 horses on. My horsebox is like this one on the left, but all of these are 3500.

    The answer to that question depends on your driving instructor. If you have a good relationship with your instructor, then it's probably best to keep going. If not, then I'd suggest speaking with them and seeing what they think would be best for you and get help at https://spacecoastdaily.com/2022/03/top-3-genius-essay-writing-services-for-students/ to manage your academic queries easily. You should schedule your lessons around the things that are important to you, like work or school, so that you can learn at a time that is convenient for you.
