Hi all,
I'm new to the Forum and I got a question regarding driving a Camper converted Mini Bus on the road.
Situation as follows:
My driving license: Full Cat B (Which allows to drive Mini Bus up to 3500kgs)
Revenue Weight: on the V5C Revenue Weight is mentioned as 4350kgs
Plated weight: There is a second weight plate on the van mentioning the vehicle has been down plated to 3500kgs
Questions:
1. As I have a weight plate mentioning that the vehicle is 3500kgs, is there an issue with having 4350kg as "revenue weight" while driving on the road?
2. Is my license legality connected to the Weight plate weight on the vehicle or the revenue weight on the v5C?
3. I called DVLA twice now, one person said I need to resubmit a revenue weight reduction to 3500kgs and the second person said there is no issue with driving the vehicle if I have a plate that says its 3500kgs and the revenue weight doesn't matter.
I saw some forum discussions similar to my case but I'm very confused as i got two completely different answers when I called up the DVLA. Appreciate if you can help me any way possible.
Thanks in Advance!
