Yet another new one for 2012.
As a 7.5 tonne Driver you will from Jan 1 2012 be required to gain a" DRIVERS CPC". This is course based,and will basically allow you to drive a 7.5 ton vehicle in the UK and abroad.
It will show your competetence in regulation compliance,drivers records,maintenance,operator's requirements legally etc,however its a minefield and once again the authorities cannot give a difinitive answer as to exemptions (Google 7.5 ton Drivers CPC).

It could ,possibly,affect anyone using a 7.5 tonne camper van, motorhome ,race truck etc as well as general goods moving,take a look, as lots of "horsey" people are already looking to downsizing to 5 tonners.

I have a Goods International CPC and an HGV licence,this allows me to be a Transport Manager for a fleet of Goods Vehicles operating in the UK and abroad up to 44 tonne and drive them,however I was told on Friday I will need one of these licences to drive a 7.5 ton vehicle if I own it.I will be able to avoid it if it is registered in a companies name and listed on their Operators Licence !!!!
