I'm 50. I had my HGV medical recently.

The last time I went to the docs before that was to have my HGV medical. The time before that was to have my HGV medical.

I am aware how lucky I am to not need the services of my doctor, I seriously hate the fact that i am required to do cpc. It is bollocks!

How can it possibly make sense to say I need re-educating on something that a HGV driver does every day.

How can it make sense that that re-education requirement can be satisfied by turning up drunk from the night before and just sleeping all the way through and it still being OK.

How can it be OK to do the same session 5 times and the "course" is satisfied?

How many times do you drive don the road and think "that HGV driver needs re-educating"? and compared to the idiot car drivers on the road who do you think needs re-educating?

This country is just swamped by too many people both living off the backs of those trying to get a job done and doing all in their power to prevent the tryers from succeeding!!!!!!!!

You can let your HGV licence expire and claim it back at any time, mine ran out 5 years ago but I went for my medical the other month sent the forms of and it was re issued.

Now for the stupid CPC

I had my medical last year as I turned 50 what a pain. Don't drive an artic any more but don't want to be told I can't . This cpc or what ever it is ,does it have to be done by September or can I do it as when if needed ? Also when I last had driven a Hgv I was still using the paper discs in the tacograph is a easy to get a card

[predator]

easy to get a digital card mine wants replacing too so more money again. Also ia,m confused over the cpc deadline as i did,nt come across any whilst reading about it on the direct.gov website so ia,m puzzled as if you only use your own licence for your own use vehicle repairs driving to and from testing station for mots brake tests etc your exempt but how the hell will you get on if you need to go back into driving full time for a living if the deadline is September etc
