Increase the Category B driving license weight limit from 3,500kg to 3,650kg

Petition Details

Many modern motorhome chassis are capable of a maximum authorised mass of over 3,500kg. We believe existing weight limits for Category B licences are impractical, and many vehicles end up being overladen. Give everyone an extra 150kg.

Additional Information

Many motorhomes are being sold as "4 berth" in the UK with payloads less than 350kg. 4 adults alone can weigh in excess of this figure and that's before any personal possessions, motorhome accessories, food and water are taken into consideration. This is leading to overladen vehicles that are illegal due to the Category B licence limits. The weight limits for this licence should be increased. We believe that an additional 150kg will have a negligible effect on the handling and capabilities of qualifying vehicles and should not necessitate the compulsory testing and training a C1 licence calls for.
