Flat bed trailers

Just wondered if people can still train on flat beds would of thought bit dodgy since many hgvs r box or curtainsiders I was also reading if you pass in an auto as long as you have manual car licence you can swap your hgv to manual sorry but personaly think people should have to pass in manual 4 over 4 at least !

You can no longer train using a flat bed truck/trailer. One of the driving school guys can probably tell you when this was stopped and yes you can pass in a auto now and get a manual HGV providing your B is manual.
