Heavy Vehicle Driving Requirements in NSW
To drive a heavy vehicle in New South Wales, you generally need a heavy vehicle licence. Requirements include holding a car licence for at least one year, passing a knowledge test and a practical driving test. There are different classes of heavy vehicle licences (LR, MR, HR, HC) based on the vehicle's weight and configuration.
Medical assessments and eyesight checks may also be necessary to obtain a licence, especially for those seeking higher classes like HR and HC, as safety and physical fitness are crucial considerations when operating larger and more complex vehicles.
