Cornflake driving licences

There's no mention of back dating this to current licence holders

In the highly unlikely event the bastards give back 3.5t towing as standard, they'll take ten times more away by requiring trailer registration and/or MOT. Mark my miserable words.

Is that a bad thing?

A mot once a year on a machine that you should maintain to a good standard anyway. No big deal but a few £

a log book issued for every trailer in my mind would reduce the theft of trailers hugely over night, this in turn should (but probably wont) reduce our insurance costs - there’s your trailer mot paid for

 

At the end of the day this should only be a problem to those running a nicked trailer with no brakes. That’s not a problem in my opinion.

 

EDIT:

If licensing laws are made easier it could also reduce the number of over weight 3.5 ton trucks on the road by allowing the average jo to run a bigger truck that isn’t over weight and there for safer???

What's suggested is that B holders can get B+E by applying for it with no test needed. Not automatic, but apply online and they add it.

 

There's been talk of being able to go straight to C+E without doing C first, but nothing official and when i did my C test 3 weeks ago i was told it was very unlikely that that would happen, it would probably remain the same; C first then C+E after. (Which i need to book.)

I got the lot up to 7.5 + a trailer 750kg bloody grandad that I am… but they think (eu ?) every Tom dick and Mary cant drive for toffy But were not all the same I tell you.. 

, and those stuck up law money grabbing buggers that think we’re all the same and want more gravy train courses  to fund the wealthy entrepreneurs..

 

this place is/ has gone down the drain.. 

 

btw I will refrain on comment in other threads That I deem to political 🤔

 

Edit…. I forgot to say about the Sharon's and Karen’s that can’t even reverse a car into a double parking space.. so it’s true we’re not al, the same. Thank goodness 👍👊

Yes. When was the last time government interference in anything made anything better?

Where i store my van and trailer a bunch of people store caravans. Quite amazing how many of them can't even drive the things forward through the front gate let alone reverse them into their space.

I wouldn't bother doing C1+E (7.5t  + trailer) personally mate. It's much the same as C+E in that it'll be 2 tests in a pretty similar vehicle but you'll be limited after.

 

I've paid £2,500 all in for my C+E, which includes the medical, theory, hazard perception, 2 practical tests and the training for both C and C+E.

 

This is in NW London so may be cheaper out your way.
