Funny that suddenly folks want to keep those horrid rules from the Eu :smiley:
I wonder how many pre’97 drivers are happily, safely and effectively driving around? There was not a sudden rise in accidents on 02.01.97 by drivers who had previously not taken a test.
Same as the recent changes to the trailer tests being stopped - no big surge of dangerous drivers.
In the Uk the 7.5t has always been the limit - was t it the old class 3, and even then, it was just an added cost to the licence rather than a test.

I get your point but the easier they make it to qualily,the more people will be competing for your job,the less money in your pocket

Good point, but not really justifiable or balanced approach when we think about the overall transport demands, and hasn’t the reverse been the argument about Driver CPC - that it should be scrapped so IS easier on drivers?

I dont mind the cpc so much,you can do it in a week and not worry about failing.But really ,it helps your position because,again,it means less competition for jobs.
