I promise I won't work for Keltbray................

[smokeysmoo]

Passed my Class 2 LGV driving test today, but I've no intention of driving a tipper for Keltbray or anyone else for that matter TBH.

I will however be driving something like this

26 tonnes of Scania, but I will be promoting cyclists all the while.

In fact, my instructor this week commented on how much time and space I gave cyclists, so today for my test I wore my, 'If in doubt cycle out' t-shirt.

Well done SmokeySmoo, welcome to the HGV cyclists section!

Maybe you should work for them. And then you can teach them how to drive without wiping half the UK population out en route.

It's a fine idea that's only let down by the following:

1. They're too far away
2. They have no VACANCIES
3. A promise a made to my boss who paid for my LGV training, (a shade over £1k!)

Congratulations.. Are you aiming for C+E or sticking with Class 2.
It's great to have a job as well, even though you need to stay where you are to give the boss his monies-worth.

As a registered old fart, I was able to go straight for my Class1 without needing to do a Rigid test first

I'll be sticking to Class 2 TBH. The training company I went with use a wagon and drag for C+E which I understand makes life easier than an artic as the drag follows virtually in the same footprint of the wagon, but I've no need for C+E and I can't imagine I ever will have.

Need to start accruing my 35 hours for the CPC now before next next September!

Happy and safe miles to you.

...or realises that smokey will be further away from him now that he has his HGV licence.

Never quite thought of it as having to be ordained to drive a truck, but I kinda like that idea...
