what the actual fuck????? I have driven about a million miles in my lifetime and this is nuts - the biggest thing I drove was a Transit the norm was a family hatch

Motorists could be allowed to drive lorries without extra test in ‘Brexit bonus’ plan

They’ll likely be bumper-to-bumper in tailbacks anyway, so any damage would be minimal…

Wasn't this essentially announced during lockdown - there was a huge backlog of tests and minimal testing staff, so they floated the idea of just dropping the tests.

As far as I can tell many of the potential 'benefits' appear to involve changing legislation so that we can increase the opportunities to maim and kill ourselves. Looking forward to little ones being allowed to clean the innards of heavy machinery whilst it's still in operation, just like the good old days.

Its a winner just imagine it all those people who enjoyed the film convoy back in the day can now live out their dreams driving HGV's for a living. The best bit is they they can get to also do Watership down when the driver wipe some families out driving down the coast for a holiday. It will be a hoot just can't wait for this.

I’m off to phone Easyjet to see if they’ll let me fly an A320 for a bit.

Shouldn't be a problem. It's probably easier than flying a Typhoon and even Johnson can do that.

The market is very buoyant where I am. Some absolute bargains. Being snapped up mostly by the Scandinavians/German and French with a not unexpected rise in Russians. Still a fair few Brits taking the plunge but mainly those with a decent income who are happy to have a second home here rather than live here full time.
The ones affected in the main are those whose fairly small pensions would have still been enough to rent a nice 2/3 bed and leave enough over to live a quality life.
I knew a few whose combined pensions for a couple came in at around £1500 a month yet could enjoy a life that would be impossible with the same income in the U.K.
Like everything in life, it’s those at the lower scale who end up shafted the most.

So why didn’t they take up residency before last December?
