“HGV driving tests will be overhauled, meaning drivers will only need to take 1 test to drive both a rigid and articulated lorry, rather than having to take 2 separate tests (spaced 3 weeks apart). This will make around 20,000 more HGV driving tests available every year and mean drivers can gain their licence and enter the industry more quickly.
Tests will also be made shorter by removing the ‘reversing exercise’ element – and for vehicles with trailers, the ‘uncoupling and recoupling’ exercise – and having it tested separately by a third party.”
Keep death off our roads. F..k me. Removing the reversing! The most difficult thing to do and something every driver has to do. How can they take this off?? This has to rank the most stupid thing the Nasty Party has come up with besides pushing back dinghies, allowing old COVID patients out of hospital without testing Oh hang on…
