Morning All. Can’t seem to get a definitive answer anywhere.
I had been driving part time, as I have a full time job elsewhere. I haven’t driven (HGV’s) since the beginning of this year. Anyway, I thought my entitlement expired next year but it actually expired 04/08/13.
I have no plans to drive in the near future, but if I did want to drive again would I have to do the C and C/E training again? I know I would have to complete a medical and CPC. Someone said I would, and others say not!!! Thanks.
I seem to remember that you have not held a licence for more than 10 years, then you will have to retake test. Yes I know that it is not relevant to the OP.

MYTH
There can be a problem if the categories have not been on the licence since 1981 (I think) which is before everything went onto computers
Thanks for your replies fellas.
To confirm then, if I want to drive again, I have to pass my medical, and complete CPC by August 2014 to drive after that. Sorry, I’m not thick or perhaps I am

To drive HGVs again you will need to have the medical, and to drive HGVs commercially after September 2014 you will need to do 35 hours periodic training.

Hmm - might try that approach, Rog - my photocard expires in August 2014 but my C/C+E runs until October of the same year.
Wait for photo renewal notice from DVLA then go to PO with £24.50 and state that both parts of current licence is ‘lost’
The PO did not ask for anything except the renewal notice form which DVLA sent me
Got new licence in 3 days
