Help - tacho question

hi guys

got my Class C test next week… couple of questions re: tachos

1 - do i need to pass CPC mod 2/4 before I can apply for my tacho card?
2 - can i send my form off now to get my first tacho card so it comes ASAP?
3 - the form says i need to pay £32, not a problem, but also says not to use cash (and i don’t have cheques!) - any tips for getting payment to them?
4 - if I pass next week, would i (in theory) be allowed to drive immediately, even before my new tacho card arrives?

thanks in advance!

Postal order for £32 will cost you £36

1 - do i need to pass CPC mod 2/4 before I can apply for my tacho card?
No you can apply for a driver card at any time even if you only have a car licence.

2 - can i send my form off now to get my first tacho card so it comes ASAP?
Yes.

3 - the form says i need to pay £32, not a problem, but also says not to use cash (and i don’t have cheques!) - any tips for getting payment to them?
I suppose you could get someone you trust to write a cheque and you pay them the cash, alternatively send a postal order.

4 - if I pass next week, would i (in theory) be allowed to drive immediately, even before my new tacho card arrives?
You can drive vehicles fitted with an analogue tachograph before you have a driver card but you cannot drive a HGV vehicle fitted with a digital tachograph until you’ve got a driver card.
