We s also have different regs to you young pups according to that.

3.5t is basically a van. In fact, you need a C1 license to drive most ambulances in the UK. Most actual trucks require a C license which is >7.5t

Originally posted by vwdan View PostThat's still a non sequitur. I also want people who drive trucks* without the correct licensing. I'm asking, given the facts, what the public gains from further pushing the case against Martin - you seem to be answering why we have laws and regs.
*I dunno if the use of 3.5t is meant to make you sound smart, but just FYI 3.5t is the upper limit of the standard car (B) license. To go over, you just need the C1 license which takes you up to 7.5t, or the full C which takes you up to whatever (44t as standard, higher if your firm has the correct licenses)

Originally posted by KinooOrKinog View PostThe article doesn't really make sense to me. It says he believed he had sat a test in northern Ireland. Surely he had to apply for a test date, then attend a test centre to sit the test. Is it saying someone conned him into thinking he had done that when he hadn't & then issued him with a fake license? For what gain?
