What Type of Driver's License is Required to Drive an Iveco?
2 Answers
Different models of Iveco require different levels of driver's licenses. The specific type of license needed depends on the Iveco model being driven. Here are the details: 1. For models with fewer than 9 seats (as indicated on the vehicle registration certificate, the same applies below): These are classified as small vehicles and require a C1 level driver's license. 2. For models with 10 to 19 seats: These are classified as medium-sized buses and require a B1 level driver's license. 3. For models with 20 or more seats: Only an A1 level driver's license is permitted.
I used to drive an Iveco for deliveries. Most of those small vans only require a C1 driver's license, as long as the total vehicle weight doesn't exceed 4.5 tons. But if the model is a bit larger, like when carrying heavy cargo or with a trailer, you might need a B2 license. Once I got pulled over by traffic police for inspection because the truck was slightly overweight and almost got fined. I later upgraded my license. When driving such vehicles, you need to pay attention to age restrictions - you must be at least 18 years old for a C1 license. It's best to check with the DMV in advance about the vehicle registration details to avoid unexpected troubles that could delay deliveries and cost you money.
