It wouldn’t be so bad if they parked at the rear of the bay to let another van driver utilise the wasted space, but they seem to like to stop at the front so everybody thinks they are a big wheeler.
As a former “van” driver I can confirm this is true.
Being an ex.rigid driver myself many years ago, and having a Bedford tarted up with horns and flags looking like a Kenworth TK , complete with me 21yrs old, wearing baseball cap and shades thinking I look like Rubberduck
(but in reality looking a complete and utter 2at )
I can only confirm that many rigid drivers would love to be an artic driver.
(Come to think of it I still sometimes wear the cap and shades…maybe time for a re.think. )
Could in the oldern days, go straight to class 1 test at 21, still needed both provisionals tho.[/quote]
At one time just needed to be over 21 … no test iirc
