To upgrade your licence, you will need to take a practical driving assessment (PDA) in a MC class vehicle.
You must book a PDA for MC class vehicle with a registered training organisation.
Once you have passed your PDA, you will need to visit a Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) centre, regional DoT office or agent to have your heavy vehicle licence endorsed.
You need to bring:
- photocopy of the signed and completed Heavy Vehicle PDA Customer Eligibility (Form E114) (if PDA was completed with a registered training organisation)
- proof of identity documents.
Your driver’s licence card will be updated when you renew your current licence.
If you would like to update your licence card before your next renewal, you can order a replacement licence.
Synchromesh vehicles
If you complete your PDA in a vehicle fitted with a synchromesh transmission your licence will have a condition that you will only be permitted to drive vehicles fitted with a synchromesh gearbox.
A synchromesh transmission is a type of manual gearbox found in modern cars and trucks which uses synchronising collars to help make smooth gear changes.
If you complete the PDA in a heavy vehicle of a higher class fitted with a manual non-synchromesh transmission you can drive vehicles (except motorcycles) fitted with automatic or manual gearboxes of either type.
