You are correct, it only applies to goods vehicles. 7.5t is the common blanket weight restriction used in the UK, Leicestershire has hundreds although not as well mapped as they should be (holds head in shame), and certainly was the limit that can be driven on a standard licence, issued before a date. Since 1997 it is only 3.5t. I could still drive a 7.5t truck if I so wanted to.
