ABC Driving School - Medium Rigid



Our MR trucks are fitted with Synchromesh gearboxes. This gearbox type is common in MR class vehicles and is as easy to drive as a manual car. You will also be able to drive automatic MR vehicles with this licence upgrade.

ABC Driving School - Medium Rigid Truck 2Please note that licences acquired using vehicles that are fitted with a Synchromesh or Automatic gearbox will be endorsed with a "condition B" restriction - (may only drive Automatic or Synchromesh gearbox). THIS IS NORMAL FOR AN MR OR LR LICENCE HOLDER. It will not restrict or limit your ability to drive MR, LR or class C vehicles, nor will it limit your employment options.
