Provisional and Tractor Licence Help

Hello! I am 16 and I am planning on getting my provisional licence. I don't have a UK passport but I have a UK Birth Cert and Republic Of Ireland Passport. I am planning on getting a job at a local farm but I need to be able to drive a tractor and he asked for a licence. If I get my provisional can I drive a tractor on it and take a tractor test or do I need an other D1 form?

Your provisional licence will entitle you to drive tractors as it should have a category F on it.

You can get a provisional licence for a tractor at 16, but you can’t practise driving them on the road until you’re 17. The only exception is when you’re driving to or from your practical driving test.

Once you’re 17 you can practise driving a tractor or specialist vehicle on the road even if you haven’t passed your test.

If the vehicle was made with a passenger seat you must be accompanied by a qualified driver. Removing a seat is not allowed.

If you’re 16, you can only drive tractors less than 2.45 metres wide and tow trailers less than 2.45 metres wide with 2 wheels (or 4 wheels if close coupled).

The categories you're allowed to drive are shown on the back of your licence. Look for a date alongside category B - if you have a full category F this will act as a provisional for driving cars from the date shown.

You are allowed to drive a tractor from the age of 16 but you're limited to a certain size of vehicle and trailer.

You must be 17 to start driving a car on the road.

It looks as though you will need to apply for a category B provisional then if you want to drive a car
