For the few who are trained for it, not the majority of civvy drivers and the general population, who are not, and not in the longer term for anybody.

Been there.... shortish military exercises (which we were well trained for and in no real danger) are not the day to day grind of the open roads of UK 2021.

On my desk at work I have a request from the DVLA for a medical report on a patient. A report they should have included wasnt included. I have listed every time I have rung them, and I have rung them once a day on my three working days for the past 2 months. Every single time I have had a message that says 'we are extremely busy and unable to answer calls right now, please try later' I hope this patient isn't waiting to be a HGV driver
