Levels the playing field to those who passed their tests before the rest of us. What difference was there between someone who passed pre 97 and post other than modern tests are harder
Silly stealth tax
Plenty of info out there on how to load a trailer and safely tow, plus anyone driving for their company can ask for some info and pointers, if towing a chipper you can’t load it wrong so there’s one big thing off the table anyway.

 

Info out there does not translate to being able to actually do it. Theory & practice are not the same.

 

If its so easy why did so many fail the test?

 

Why so many accidents?

 

Why so many caravan fall of the ball?

 

Why do all the official safety stats say that driver error & lack of training is the reason for the accidents?

Carry on doing a little C1 C1E D1 & D1E work but even thats been hampered by the gov trying to make things better.

You really are wired like a big bully's little bitch. The government does a rare thing and leaves people alone a bit and you're genuinely annoyed that they're no longer granting you your monopoly at the expense of everyone else. Take a bloody hard look at yourself and find some way to lift up your fellow man rather than treading on him to get a little higher.

2 ways to look at that. The rules were changed to make people safer at towing and people were made to take a test to prove it. Firms were always going to step in and offer this and make money like a learning school. Now its no longer required they wine like hell.

What are you smoking?

 

This is not just about me. The entire driver training industry is in tatters.

The gov are loosing about £50k per week in lost test fees. Industry is loosing £4-600k in lost courses.

The meddling they have done is not producing more drivers.

The reason they removed the BE was not safety or to help car drivers. It was supposed to help increase the number of lorry drivers.

 

Its  not working. The tests cant be booked as lgv trainers were already working at capacity.

Lack of tests was not the issue.
