Well spotted!

 

• carrying material or equipment to be used by that person in the course of his or her work, provided that driving that vehicle does not constitute the driver’s principal activity*

 

*An example of a driver under exemption vii (also known as “incidental driver”) would be a brick layer who drives a load of bricks from the builder’s yard to the building site and then spends their working day laying bricks. In this case, driving a lorry is incidental to their main occupation.

 

Not sure what happens when you drive back with a load of chip and heavy?

[MattyF]

nice one ,well spotted been worrying about that all day!

[geoff]

Surely chip & rounds of timber are as bricks to a bricky, you are going to use the wood to produce firewood, and process {let it rot} the chip for mulch.

It is for "professional" drivers and I totally agree with it.

 

I'm sick to the back teeth of seeing 44 tonne artics a car length away from the car infront and 7.5 tonners being driven about as though they were driving a car

 

The course is designed to highlight bad driving.

 

What they need to do now is bring one in for taxi drivers. Round here after midnight on a weekend all you see is taxis, all racing about like the roads were a race track trying to get as many jobs in as they can.

 

If I get a taxi, I want to be driven in a safe, courtious manner, not thrown around in the back.

 

I think if a taxi driver is caught at 10mph over any speed limit he/she should be excluded from getting a permit ever!

 

Perhaps I should have posted this on the whinge thread
