Never seen it enforced …. The legal fees alone just wouldn’t justify it ..(£5k wouldn’t even cover barrister fees) peoples circumstances change all the time and the chances of a judge ruling against an individual in anything but exceptional circumstances would be unheard of.

I’ve had the button get stuck more than once (as it doesn’t cancel until it’s released )… frantically wacking it til it pops out again before the brake comes in

You're paid in arrears … so on the first pay date you’ll be payed for the weeks you’ve worked beforehand … whether That be just 1 or all 4 depending on you’re start date ..

They usually are used pro rata for part time workers .. if you’re sick for 4 days but only supposed to be in work for 2 … you’ve still had a week off sick .. otherwise it would be unfair to the full time worker who’s sick for the same period but incurred double the days recorded , then he’d be...

Several at the time of my training were staying at premier inn in Reading during rules as they lived far and wide … when you get yr trainee contract it has a clause which states you must relocate before handling commences ...I’d say just be up front about your circumstances and how you plan to...

They had like a 3d viewer which you look into and you see 6 road signs. 4 look the same but one looks closer and another looks further away than the others .. you just had to pick which ones … then it flashes a little light randomly to each side of the eye pieces and you just call out left or...

Also depth perception and peripheral vision (had mine on Thursday)!

very much Doubt that just not taking it would be a fail… I was part way through an application with Arriva when I took the VSE for freightliner and failed it. I thought it wouldn’t count as the VSE was done at home .. not a test centre … but Arriva said it still counted and terminated my...

If you fail a test for one toc and it’s a requirement for the other ..it will effectively kill off both applications… but not all tocs require VSE so if you failed that for avanti but it’s not a requirement for cross country then the cross country application won’t be affected … you’ll need to...

Apply now, to be in with a chance of becoming one of our Trainee Drivers, with a great training salary of £28,268, rising to £60,124 when fully qualified! might be slightly mis leading in that you’ll need to complete 2 years qualified for the £60,124 (first year being 80% and the 2nd 90% of...

When I signed my trainee driver contract it contained a clause that if I lived outside the 1hrtravel time that I must commit to relocate by the time my handling hours commenced. There were Quite a few people during the rules part of training that were staying at the local premier inn during the...

I have to agree with this … and yep it is harsh but if anyone‘s struggling with the tests to the point they’d consider spending £1.5k on trying to pass them .. then they probably just won’t make it through the rest of the training anyway .if you're still winging it after a year … there’s nothing...

The toc will look at your scores and if you’ve exceed their criteria on any then you shouldnt need to retake the all tests … and you’ll only need to repeat those where you haven’t. when I was in a similar situation..I was invited to the test day and only retook 2 of them. On the rest .. I was...

The questions are very similar probably on purpose in order to see that you are answering consistently and not just giving the responses you think they want to hear !

It’s really not that fast .. but don’t forget after doing the bleeps and then the phone book test .. you’ll then do them both at the same time!!
