Can you tell me whether a driver from the EU, with a UK driving licence, EU tachograph card and EU Driver Qualification Card (issued in the EU in 2023), can drive a HGV in the UK?

Answer

The UK recognises EU-issued Driver Qualification Cards and digital tachographs, as long as they are valid and in date, so the driver can drive an HGV in the UK with those cards.
