Zara Phillips has become a lorry (truck) driver.
Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter recently got her HGV licence, allowing her to drive her horses around in a truck.
The world equestrian champion said: "I need the HGV licence to be able to drive my horses around. I did an intensive course just a few weeks ago. I can now drive any truck up to 7,500kg, as long as it's rigid."
Zara has discovered driving a big vehicle is not good for her road rage.
She added: "They're great to drive until you get road rage because you can't overtake. When people don't indicate and things it's so frustrating, and when people overtake and then pull in really close to you and brake and you think, 'Why did you do that?' "It's annoying and until you drive a lorry you don't appreciate it. The braking time is totally different to a car, and you're trying to give the horses a nice ride as well."
