No you need to have a cat C on your license i.e.

Category C1 (Class 3) allows the holder to drive a vehicle with a maximum authorised mass (gross vehicle weight) between 3.5 t-7.5 t (3500 kg - 7500 kg) with a trailer up to 750 kg maximum authorised mass.

Category C (Class 2) allows the holder to drive a vehicle weighing over 3.5 t (3500 kg) with a trailer up to 750 kg maximum authorised mass.

Drivers who passed a Category B (Car) test before 1 January 1997 will have received Categories C1 and C1+E (Restriction Code 107: not more than 8250 kg) through the Implied Rights issued by the DVLA (more commonly known as Grandfather Rights).

lol, you need a 7.5 tonne licence to drive anything upto and including a 7.5 tonne vehcile and you can only drive upto 3.5 tonne on a car licence. so you either need a 7.5 tonne licence ora class 2 or class 1. ive got a class one, what you need moving/driving?

your old boy should of known mate hes a trucker.

ps. short answer = NO
