Lta distinguish by unladen and laden weight 

They don't go by length or size.

All G plate are light goods vehicle LGV. Class 3.

All Y plate are heavy goods vehicle HGV. Class 4.

Some Y plates are short like 10 to 14 ft. But only class 4 can drive because of the weight of goods they are able to carry.

SBS buses are long so are they class 5? No. Because carry pax. Bus full load not as heavy as commercial goods of the same length. Class 4 can already.

All X plate are class 5. They are usually the 车头 that drag trailers and containers.

Not quite true.

For Y-plate, as long as unladen weight (GVW) is below 2500kg - Class 3 can drive. Example - a basic 14-footer. But if that 14-footer has a tailgate, then it exceeds 2500kg, and it goes to Class 4. There will be a plate on the interior to denote that.

Class 4 also allows you to drive any vehicle exceeding GVW 2500kg, Y- or X-plate, with no upper weight limit, as long as it was meant to carry goods. So Class 4 can drive X-plated 24-footers, hooklift trucks, rubbish collection trucks, tipper trucks, which can in cases go above MLW of 28 tonnes.

Class 5 can drive vehicles that are NOT meant to carry goods, like mobile cranes, big tow trucks, prime movers, cement mixers, articulated vehicle etc.

Yes. I see alot of 14f FT driver . Class 3 only. And now all new 10 dyna or hino come with Y plate. All the FT. I dun believe they got class 4. 

I remember last time I take class 5.

The training and test vehicle is a small 6wheel crane. Quite weird. 

Not sure if it's still the same now
