Petition Change Gross Vehicle Weight Restrictions for Vehicles drivable on a Car Licence

Increase the Gross Vehicle Weight limit on Light Commercial Vehicles to up to 5.5t gross. Add minimum age restrictions of 21 for driving a van. CPC if required for delivery drivers. And a compulsory basic training element for securing and carrying larger loads with a car licence

More details

Light Commercial Vehicles are restricted to a GVW of 3.5 tonne. This stifles small and new businesses who have to make multiple journeys to carry heavy materials, or face high costs to invest in a Large Goods Vehicle or pay for expensive delivery costs. I believe it would help limit journeys limiting emissions and help small and new businesses start and grow. If small business can grow it will only help grow the economy and cut red tape for British businesses.
