I joined this Forum some months back when I was considering a return not only to the UK, but a return to Driving. I asked what my chances were of finding a job at the age of 53 and after an absence of 10 years of driving artics, to which the replies were not only positive, but helpful as well.
So, where did I get?
I found a job after only one week of searching and am now doing general haulage, for a fair wage, for a decent company and I couldn’t ask for more. As to the driving itself, my 2 worries were driving on the “wrong side of the road” - yes, I was actually concerned about driving a right hand vehicle and driving on the left - secondly, whether I had lost the knack of reversing. On both accounts I needn’t had worried. Indeed, I had about 10 days initially on a rigid and I had trouble reversing that as I automatically reacted at those I was in an articulated vehicle 
Although my choice to return to the UK and drive was driven (pun not really intended) by financial needs, I am glad I made it and I have gained satisfaction not only in achieving what I set out to do, but also in being able to be a Professional Driver again.
May I say thanks to all those who replied to my original Post where I asked what my chances were. You were all right.
Regards,
