PCV Licence Question

Been offered the change to sit my PCV, a small company who does school runs and coach trips are looking for a driver and said could help me out with the licence, not sure if it would be an automatic or manual vehicle though.

Ive got C+E at the moment, if i sit the D licence in an automatic will i get full D since ive already got C+E with a manual or will it be restricted.

Also would sitting D since ive got C+E mean i’d get D+E or would that mean another test.

If you already have C+E and pass D manual, when your licence comes back from DVLA you will have D+E…

IF you pass D AUTO you will get D and D+E both MANUAL.

You will have to do the theory and initial driver CPC for D (PCV)

Rog are you sure ? How can you pass auto and then not get a restricted licence ■■? :question:

I presume it’s because you’ve already passed the C in a manual. As regards the DE upgrade, most people on here have had to ask the DVLA to put it on as they often overlook it.

I am 100% positive as it is a subject that I’ve discussed with DVLA more than once :wink: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Thanks for the info Rog, i’m hoping to sit test in a manual but if its an automatic would be ok if i get full licence with no restrictions. Another place has been moaning of trouble getting drivers because a lot of PCV drivers only being able to drive manual vehicles.
