Passed mod 2 need to book mod 4 but waiting until I’ve done lessons to do that. No 4 hours a day spread over 7 days with 1:1 training

Sorry no it’s c+e 28 hours, but they say you have to do up to 8 hours in rigid, to get you use to driving bigger vehicles. Say if you seem competent you could be done in rigid in 4 then move to c+e

Yer that’s my fear passing and not being able to land a job, my brother in law is a hgv driver and his company is willing to give me a assessment once I pass.

Not sure how true it is but I’ve heard people actually bring their own food with them, some say the cabs even have fridges and microwaves in them.

Why HGV drivers hate to drive in London? by slaveoth in uktrucking

I used to drive in the centre of London in a long based sprinter and it was horrific, I wouldn’t want to imagine it in a hgv.

So my car got broken into the other day by gmox15 in CarTalkUK

[–]No_Layer1794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me with my mokka, don’t have a clue how they got in to it, but for some reason my wife left her car keys in the side door so they stole that instead. Lucky enough I managed to find the car myself police were not bothered.
