https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-46590751 I posted the original charges a while back, and seems he is denying he possessed and claimed he had an Irish licence to get a UK one. Hasn't he been a lorry driver for years? Unless he let it lapse?
Dunno. He has always talked about being a truck mechanic and how he loves a truck. I read a while ago something about him never actually getting his HGV/LGV...
You know what they say,Be very careful when climbing the ladder of success who you step on,as you might just see them on the way down has he pissed in someones boots
I know my own licence covers me to drive 7.5 tonne as long as it is for non commercial purposes as part of the 1997 licence swap over. I didn't know that I'd need a cpc course if I was to drive one as a job.
I used to do this, I drove a 7.5t for a couple of weeks and have driven minibuses commercially - you worried me that i did it illegally, however just checked and the CPC only came into force in 2008 and licence holders where given 5 years to do the 35 hrs required, so in theory i would have needed a CPC from sep 2014; fortunately all the work was done before this. I had absolutely no idea the situation had changed until now.
