Condition B Removal
Condition B-Removal
What is Condition B
A heavy vehicle license with Condition B limits drivers to vehicles with automatic or synchromesh gearboxes. To upgrade and drive vehicles with manual crash (Road Ranger) gearboxes, you need to remove this condition from your license.
Why Remove Condition B?
Unlock New Driving Opportunities – Gain the flexibility to drive all types of heavy vehicles, including those with Road Ranger gearboxes.
Advance Your Career – Condition B removal expands your job options, allowing you to apply for higher-paying roles that require full manual gearbox operation.
Boost Your Driving Skills – Our training will equip you with advanced skills to handle non-synchromesh gearboxes confidently and safely.
Non-Synchromesh Gearbox
A non-synchronous transmission, also called a crash gearbox, is a form of manual transmission based on gears that do not use synchronizing mechanisms. They require the driver to manually synchronize the transmission’s input speed (engine RPM) and output speed (driveshaft speed).
When using half gears, the gear-shifting technique transitions from double clutching to a single clutch movement. In this process, the gear lever is moved either within the same gear position or to the next full gear, which you’ll explore more as you advance through the course.
What sets this gearbox apart is that the driver must synchronize the road speed (KM) and engine speed (RPM) to execute a gear change. These gearboxes require more driver involvement to ensure smooth or successful gear transitions. With each gear change, the clutch is engaged twice, giving rise to the term “double clutching.”
