Ageing drivers and driver shortage

waddy640:
Why does an operator put " Must have Driven Class 1 within the last 6 months" in their advert? You don’t forget how to drive them, I passed my test in 1979 and didn’t drive another one until 1996 but I remembered how to drive the thing.

Blame Jeremy Clarkson for that. Thanks to him, firms think anyone who hasn’t driven in 6 months must have been in prison for murdering a prostitute. :unamused:
