Drivers who passed test after 1997 advised to check licence
Original source: Daily Mirror

Drivers planning to hire a motorhome must check their licence category due to vehicle weight restrictions. Those who obtained their licence after 1 January 1997 are typically restricted to vehicles up to 3500kg on a standard Category B licence, requiring a C1 category for heavier motorhomes. Securing a C1 licence takes 6–8 weeks and involves a medical exam and additional tests, while driving without the correct entitlement risks a £1000 fine and penalty points.
