39TDS Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 i dont think that one day out of my working year is too much of an effort if it helps keep everyone safe. And if you had to lose a days pay and also fork out £100 or so for that one day would you think the same? No it isn't much effort but it is a tax. 21 hours only What do you mean?

No it isn't much effort but it is a tax. What do you mean? if i thought that it would improve safety on the roads then yes id quite happily do it with a smile on my face. like i said , id quite happily take my driving test every five years or so . i dont think the cpc courses go far enough , theyre a fantastic opportunity that is being wasted.

39TDS Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 If I thought it would improve safety on the roads I wouldn't complain about it at all but I don't think it makes any difference whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 How many of the foreign vehicles that hit our roads every day and don't pay tolls or parking fines have drivers with these cpc certificates tucked in their glove box.i have had these people turn up at my yard can't speak a word of English and do not know how to operate the push out trailer they are dragging behind them.their documents/licenses are virtually uncheckable.and we talkabout safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzab Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hgv cpc is a total and utter waste of time and money. Completely pointless. 7 classroom sessions (or whatever it is!!) Of the same thing says it all. The sooner it goes the better. All the fluffing up in the world won't change that. Garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy bingo Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 the piont of the cpc course is because the government have stopped funding vosa so this is to fund them so chunk of cash from the course fee x all hgv drivers every 5 years = nice little earner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
