Lets hope so. Too much wishful thinking
No need for a trailer test anymore?

Years ago I was passenger in a six wheeler with turntable drag on the back and he reversed it into the docks at the mart while he was arguing like hell with his transport manager at the time on one of his two phones he had to carry
Thought it was quite impressive considering he was the only one that could reverse it

I’ve already seen a person on social media, who failed her trailer test 3 times, over the moon that she can now tow her horse box. There’s a reason she failed 3 times and now she’s going to be towing livestock!
There’s a lot of folk out there that can barely drive their car let alone drive it with something swinging off the back of it. Not sure if this is a good thing or not really.

Had my test and training booked for the 27th Sept, time to chase for my deposit back! 
the only lucky thing to have happened to me all year I think! Saved me £650 too

Like the car driving test, training only teaches you how to pass the test, not how to drive.

Annoying to have shelled out time and money recently.....but if your a better driver for it that's something I suppose

Why not allow those with 7.5 (8.250) licenses to drive an artic whilst they are at it ?
Good. Hopefully an end to all this I have a piece of paper so that's all right nonsense.

This should be made a thing.
How many driver days would that free up, drivers in the cab instead of the classroom being shown how to suck eggs.
CPC is just the most pointless waste of time ever.

As I understand it they're not doing away with Class 2 (C), they're just removing the requirement to hold Class 2 before going for Class 1 (+E), likewise with the 7.5 ton (C1) category.Yes plus they’ve done away with class 2. A real kick in teeth for those of us paid for it. I know lads that have done trailer tests and class 2 in the last month

I don't think this is a good idea. More to the point I was hoping that in 30 years time there would be a lot less caravans because no fudger can reverse them well enough to pass the test.

I cant really see this solving the driver shortage. Alot of people already have their class1 licenses but the pay is crap and vosa/dvsa are a bunch of nobs, so they would rather work in a shop etc.
Get rid of some of the jobsworth dvsa workers and pay a proper wage and people will stop working in aldi and start driving again
Some of the posts that vosa and the police put on facebook are laughable, no wonder no one wants to drive for a living with people like this.

Police and Vosa should be doing their fudging jobs not posting carp on twitter and faceache.
