You can only get a HGV license in this country when you turn 21 can't you?
 
Yes you can drive a Articulated lorry at 18 now, but you have to pass extra exams to make sure your competant.
 
My best mate Josh had his HGV licence 28 days after turning 18, the youngest ever in the UK to drive a truck. His dad has his own haulage company. I go out with him evey weekend and I tell you know I don't have a clue how he does it. You have to be highly skilled to maneuver through the tiny villages!

I dont think HGV licences at 18 is the problem, it's the idiots who drive saxos/corsa's getting a licence at 17!

I'm 18 and theres no way i would feel confident enough to drive a HGV at the minute, they're huge!
So much more to think about with slowing down for corners, bigger stopping distances, other vehicles constantly over taking etc, no way!
 
I have drove them on his yard when positioning them for trailors etc, it certainly isn't easy, not to mention the 16 gears :lol:
 
Finally got the alloys sprayed gloss black. Now I need to see if I can live with red calipers...

Just finished spraying my engine cover, and had me eibach pro's fitted at amd essex. All in all pretty good day!
 
Haha I got all my licences at 17. HGV are easy to drive :) try and drive a CRARRV ! My toy at work

I can imagine they're quite fun to drive! :drive1:
I wouldn't mind having a dabble at driving a HET or a 15T MAN Support vehicle either ;)
