do you mean IT when you're in a nice warm office, looking out of the window knowing you've got a 30 min walk in the freezing rain?

Very happy I got out of the business computer industry in 1990 and industrial micro controllers a decade later.
I enjoy building renovation which I have been doing since 2001

having worked for myself and as an employee, i see the charm and pitfalls of both. I guess the state of the world after covid19 will have some say what direction i take next

The only reason for the C1/C1E categories is for the 18-20 age group, and for those that give up the C/CE due to age.

There must be plenty of people doing local/smaller deliveries that don't want the hassle and expense

Nope. You can go straight from a car to a class 1.

That's LGV though. As a private vehicle with a trailer, as long as it isn't the main part of his job then he should be exempt.
How would they find out is the only other point?

You don't need a tacho. Forget about it.

Any thing for hire or reward you should have a tacho.
Horse box has 1 fitted. As I’m only moving my horse no need for tacho. Soon as someone gives me any money(even prize money) I should use it.
Once fitted it needs to calibrated even if it’s not been used.
there are plenty of people using pickups to trailer cars round the country. Bet most of these don’t use 1 but wait for a tug & ignorance does not help vosa go away

Reckon the biggest problem would be if there is an accident no matter whose fault, but when they enquire about driver hours etc, the fan gets switched on

What do you mean about the trailer being signed up? I've never registered a trailer?

The vans only do local, apart from a trip to Amsterdam he did in one a while ago. But that was a very rare occurrence.
