Just been struggling to get one of my lads a test and even 2 weeks ago when I spoke to them they were saying December-Jan so obviously they didn't know this was coming.
I'm still tempted to send him for a couple of hrs training with the guy I had lined up for the lessons.
I can definitely see a rush on small companies selling up the sub 750kg machines in favour of 8" machines.
I can see a lot of people being stopped towing heavy loads with inappropriate vehicles like trying to shift a 3t excavators with a Nissan Juke because they know no better.
What I'd really like to see is the 3.5t vehicle limit being put to 5.2t as new vehicles are getting heavier with less carrying capacity and are so much easier to drive than when I started driving LDV's and smiley face transits.

Wow they're moved fast on this, initially they said it would be looked at 3 months after the consultation ended, so really in to the new year. Big payday for the trailer manufacturers, if they can build them fast enough!

Trailer people haven't been able to keep up for at least a year already.

Have you ever tried it? It's bloody difficult, far more so that it looks.

In the early nineties I saw two Spanish kids riding them, when they finished their show they offered people ago. I reckon I got three yards before I fell off.
