Government announcement on HGV shortage

Montsoreau:

Truckulent:
I think the whole testing system is easier. My step son has just passed his car test.

And…

Wait for it …

He’s NEVER done an emergency stop. Instructor hasn’t taught it him, he wasnt asked to do one on test. He only had to do one manoeuvre on his test - a really simple park.

The practical side he did last week was easier than the test I took in 1990…

I believe taking a test in HGV, emergency stop is not part of the test.

I can understand that.

But if they aren’t doing them in cars now, we are going to end up with HGV drivers that have never done an emergency stop - ever.

Not sure how that’s a step forward …
