After a few years “learning the ropes” as a van driver,I passed my class 3 in ‘86 aged 21 in a leyland 16 tonner with a driving school kindly paid for by my guv’nor, John Dobbs, then class 1 in ‘89 in a company iveco 190-30 with 40’ box trailer around Worthing after a couple of weeks’ “lessons” with my colleague Derrek Gibbs on Dobbs Transport. My test date was the Saturday before the August bank holiday, I have a feeling it was one of the first Saturday tests.
Regards,
Mark.
