My 1998 Coachmen Mirada 300QB has seats and seat belts for 10 people including the driver so maybe I can qualify under that rule.

:Cool: Our old 1988 Coachmen Classic had 10 seat belts too. But I always hid 8 of them when MOT'ing at VOSA. :thumb:

Does this qualify as more than 10 seats?

So, Groundhog, can you give me a potted on what you have and are doing and rough costs would be nice?

LGV licence requirements changed on 10 September and there is now an additional CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) module to be passed if you want to be a professional Large Goods Vehicle driver. This new legislation also requires that professional LGV drivers receive a minimum of 35 hours training every 5 years in order to keep their licence.

It is now possible to complete the Theory Module, Hazard Perception Module and Practical Driving Test to gain a licence that allows you to drive for leisure but not for hire or reward. An LGV licence gained in this way means there is no need for the CPC module or the ongoing training.

I have done the Theory and Hazard Perception Modules and have a 5 day driving course with a test on day 5 w/c 7 September. I am only going for a Category C Class 2 licence which will allow me to drive any size of rigid vehicle with a maximum trailer weight of 750 kg.

To drive an articulated LGV I would need a Category C Class 1 licence, which is another 5 day course plus another driving test.

To gain Category C Class 2 is approximately £1,000 and the same again for Class 1.

Hope this helps
