Finally the day has come tomorrow to get behind the wheel and learn the Reverse and the Uncoupling recouping of the mighty Artic…
Change of career from the Coach Driver/Bus driver to the LGV Class 1 Artic…
Can’t wait, it’s something that I have always wanted to do ever since I was a kid, but getting my PCV LICENSE (as it was known in the 80’s) travelling around Europe put me off the Artic Driver, and of course the cost of getting a license for the class 2 first that I had no intention of ever using, so as the government have now relaxed the drive requirement for the Class 1 it’s now or never…
Taken over 4 months to get to this stage…

Wish me luck.

MrDampy.
