Haven't times changed, when I passed my test in 1988  :oops:

You could drive anything up to 7.5 tonnes including a trailered lorry! :shock:

Well done BTW, I'm always impressed with people reversing a trailer, because i always bog it up and have get out and push it!

C1 (7.5tonner) is next on my list when i can afford to.

Reversing the trailer is the easy bit...its losing all the bad driving habits for the test thats the hardest bit!

I wouldn't bother with the C1, if I were you. For what the difference would be, you'd be better off going for the C (HGV).

test is about £110

the going rate for lessons is about £30hr + VAT


I'm not quite sure of the difference between C / C1 etc yet - still need to look into it!

I think my mate has just done C+E, which gives him all of the above, including trailer.
