Well here they go again,trying to destroy the transport industry.I have just read about the new regulations starting from 2009!The new driver cpc course is here ,and it’s compulsory.A basic outline follows:-

STARTS 2009

MUST HAVE IT BY 2014

COST-£300 APPROX

TO BE RENEWED EVERY 5 YEARS

So not only do we have the digital tachograph ,hgv medical,numerous hours to adhere to..we now have this pile of poop forced on us.

I feel people who have a few years in the industry could just walk away from it,but what else do you do.You,or your boss is literally paying them to allow you to work.

    More stealth taxation it seems. Another good idea in theory, but in practice the only difference this cpc will make is financial.

    I notice the EC have had minimal decency to provide the "Aquired rights" for existing drivers, but we still have to go through the 35 hours of training every 5 years to keep our licence. Who exactly will be training us? If they will be like many of the instructors at the M.O.D school in leconfield, god help us!
