Juddian:
Hopefully they’ll mandate that if going straight to class 1 that the instruction time actually spent behind the wheel is at least as much as the average time spent learning the current two courses.
Straight to class 1 used to be a ten day course, test on the Friday usually, this worked well because it gave ample time for learning proper lorry control not just how to pass the test.
+1, yes that would be very wise indeed, I hope they put something in place to make that a reality
