    Yes ... https://www.gov.uk/driving-licence-categories

    Category B - if you passed your test on or after 1 January 1997
    You can drive vehicles up to 3,500kg MAM with up to 8 passenger seats (with a trailer up to 750kg).

    You can also tow heavier trailers if the total MAM of the vehicle and trailer is not more than 3,500kg.

    You can drive motor tricycles with a power output higher than 15kW if you are over 21 years old.

    Physically disabled drivers with provisional category B entitlement will also have provisional entitlement to ride category A1 or A motor tricycles.
