What Is an LR (Light Rigid) Licence?

An LR Licence (Light Rigid Licence) allows you to drive light rigid vehicles that are larger than a standard car but smaller than medium and heavy rigid trucks.

With an LR licence, you may be able to operate vehicles such as:

  • Small rigid trucks
  • Mini buses
  • Some commercial vehicles
  • Vehicles with a GVM above standard car limits

An LR licence is a popular choice for drivers who want to enter the transport industry or operate commercial vehicles for work purposes.

What Can You Drive With an LR Licence?

An LR licence covers light rigid trucks and buses between 4.5 and 8 tonnes GVM. It does not extend to larger rigid trucks, prime movers, or heavier buses — those fall under MR, HR, HC or MC licences.
Quick comparison:
  • LR (Light Rigid): 4.5t–8t GVM — entry-level truck licence
  • MR (Medium Rigid): 2-axle rigid trucks over 8t GVM — the next step up
  • HR (Heavy Rigid): 3+ axle rigid trucks and buses over 8t GVM — for larger rigid vehicles and articulated buses
