Oh dear,, it doesn't end once you've got it.

 

I have an HGV license, got a letter this morning saying that I need to take a medical to renew my license as I am approaching 45.

 

Rang the doctors, £105 and they cant give me an appointment, they only do these medicals out of NHS time and it's which ever doctor feels like doing it at the time, they put your name up on a board and if a doctor feels like a bit of overtime they will ring me and book an appointment.

 

In other words they will ring me if one of the docs is getting a bit low on cash.

 

I don't know how often this happens, I presume every five years ??

 

Nice little scam for the already over paid doctors

wait till you get your letter saying you have to do update refresher training to keep it as well

either 8hs a year or 40hrs every 5 years

and i am not joking

Just passed my B+E today. It was one of the most exhausting experiences I've had in a long time

Congratulations Lancstree, you're a better driver on the day than I was. I failed mine 3 times over 3 years ago and haven't tried again since. Obviously I'm a crappy driver:blushing: still, having spent the last 14 years towing agricultural trailers I guess it's no surprise that I had problems on the tests...
