Hi, this is my first post i hope its O.K to post it here.
Drivers on the whole don’t like being forced to sit through 7 hours of Driver CPC every year and as it says below it is stopping driver returning to the industry and with the current shortage of drivers that is not a good thing, if you agree please sign the petition.
Petition Creator by Andrew Watson -
PetitionScrap Drivers Certificate Professional Competence (DCPC) to ease driver shortage
Government and the Department for transport need to remove the requirement for a driver to hold a DCPC also known as drivers certificate of professional competence, this has been required since 2009.
The RHA and FTA I’ve been asking the government to help the haulage industry with the driver shortage, scrapping the CPC requirement will enable LGV license holders to return to driving who currently cannot do so due to not having a DCPC, The scheme never fulfilled the promises made when it was introduced and has exacerbated the driver shortage to the point that the economy will suffer, it’s time now to rethink this poorly thought out legislation that caused a large exodus of drivers.
