After you get your heavy vehicle endorsement you can drive the vehicle under certain conditions and restrictions. When driving you:
- only drive a vehicle fitted with synchromesh transmission (B restriction) if you were tested in a vehicle with synchromesh transmission
- drive a vehicle fitted with any type of transmission if you were tested in a vehicle fitted with non-synchromesh transmission
- must have a zero blood alcohol limit when driving any bus or any truck that exceeds 15 tonnes gross vehicle mass
- must carry your licence at all times while driving any bus or any truck greater than 15 tonnes gross vehicle mass. This requirement does not apply if the vehicle is being used on a journey wholly within a 80 kilometre radius from the place of business or wherever the vehicle normally operates.
