No, be c1 first, then c1+e i think, but can do all in a combined training/test block over a fortnight i thing, justme will prob clarify

You cant do it that quick.

 

You have to pass C1 then send licence off.

When it comes back then take C1E.

It's still daft that I can jump into a tractor with a train weight of about 18-19t and drive that on a car licence. Stupid laws.

Yep! 16yr old KIDS in big rigs (and i’m going to swear now) is FUCKING scary!!! Should have something written in to laws and tests by now.

Really appreciate all of the info. 

 

So, if I were to budget a block of time for going through my C1 + E, how much time would I need to allow?

Not at all.

 

The tractor is an exemption.

 

Plus a tractor at 30mph has less energy that a car & trailer at 60mph.

 

Never mind a 7.5 toner running with trailer up to 12000kg.

 

Travels far less distance & hours on the road too.

Did my test in a two week block with Thomas Hardies at Liverpool, (shut now) did my test round kirby and east lancs (rat race, scary!) no regrets though, string to my bow and all that.

Thats an interesting one.

 

The driving side I can be quite accurate, the theory / cpc side is very much down to you.

 

Start studying for the theory Mod 1a / 1b today & give it serious time & you could pass in a month assuming tests are available. I would also do the Mod 2 study & test at this stage.

Pass all 3 tests then book a mod 3 course & test. In winter I could get you in within a month. In summer you might wait 3 months. You cant book the mod 3 in case you fail.

Also do the Mod 4 at the same time as the Mod 3. Or when you do the C1E.

 

Times for practical courses:-

 

Mod 3 C1 14 hours over two days inc test

Mod 3 C1E 7 to 10 hours over 1 or two days inc test

Mod 4 3 hours inc test

C & CE? Or even straight to CE.

 

You cant do that anymore.
