Summary of issue: Locked for asking a security question and list of security questions that would result in a thread being locked left.

Now cross referencing the list you can see two of the questions are asked on the Who Are You thread

Now in the one Tuffty locked he hid all the posts to prevent them ever having the chance of being misused now with the who are you thread being fairly long I think it is best you decide what to do.

Not sure what the HGV Classes are now - do you pass to HGV 1 (or equivalent) straight off, or do you have to do several sets of training for the different sizes/types of HGV?

They used to be Class 1 (artic) Class 2 (any HGV but trailer limited) Class 3 ( up to 7.5 tonne + limited trailer)

If you passed your test before 1st Jan 1997 you'll have C1 entitlements then we came into line with the EU and made it a separate test...

Now it is
Category C1 (old Class 3)
Category C (old class 2) (I'm doing this one)
Category C + E (old class 1)

You can do C1 or C straight off

For C + E you'd need to get C license and then do the artic course used to have to wait so many months before you could do it but now you can do them one after another


Also if you passed before jan 1997 you'll have C1+E so can tow a bit more weight.

It is pretty confusing tbh.

One of my dads stories of when they were pulled up at a hgv check point they wouldn't let his colleague drive because his license didn't have the category on it (this was VOSA) even though he passed long before 1997. When he got home he rang em up at the DVLA who said that's because it didn't exist as a class when he passed his test and these were the people who are supposed to know about them lol.
