Question about resuming driving after a ban

[Dan B]

I've certainly never heard it, but then I'd never heard of One Direction until the other day.

Driving test was obviously harder in my day

Edit. I think the answer may be 'it depends..'

It would seem that lorry entitlement is only restored without passing the appropriate test in exceptional circumstances.

That link is from the Nor'n Ireland Government site.

Here's a hypothetical situation (which must have occurred somewhere at some point):

Artic driver is convicted of causing death by dangerous driving in his lorry and disqualified from driving for five years. He is also ordered to sit an extended driving test when his ban is over.

Q. Does he have to resit his test in an HGV or just a standard car, or both?

Car yes to extended retest. L.G.V in L.G.V. He may be banned for life from holding a L.G.V licence. He may have to start driving with the smallest of L.G.V. vehicles to prove he still has the skills to drive them.
L.G.V. drivers are subject to many rules and regulations and their License entitlement can be revoked or suspended for many reasons.(For example if a L.G.V. driver is caught using a mobile phone it has to be reported to the Traffic Commissioner this also applies to speeding and many other offences) He will have to appear in front of The local Traffic Commissioner to explain his reasons for committing an offence and good reason for the reinstatement of his License.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, not the foggiest - this is all things that happen after the point of charge, at which stage I have little input and knowledge!

This is such a let down, I thought you knew everything...
