White van man can't drive
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -
White van man can drive, but chooses not to do so when in the white van. Have you ever driven a white van? It's an empowering experience. -
I once got into an argument with a white van man and his g/f on a train while lambasting white van men.
PS I've driven a flatbet 7.5 ton truck, which you used to be allowed to do on a normal car licence.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Which you can still do. As long as you passed your test before 1st Jan 1997 you will have category C1 on your licence as soon as you turn 18 (so basically everyone).Originally posted by BagpussPS I've driven a flatbet 7.5 ton truck, which you used to be allowed to do on a normal car licence.
After that you need to do a medical and then a further test.Comment
