HGV licences
Seeing new member Norbert's post, saying he'd had his licence for 30 years, got me wondering. How many members currently hold a validHGV/PSV (or both!) licence and, for how long? Also, how many are currently using those licences regularly?

Three years after my heart problems I decided to let my class one go, that was in 2003 after a total of 33 years of holding one.

I first got my old class 2 in 1971 - passed a class 1 a year or so later, then my PSV when I started working in the bus industry in 1986. They appear to still be valid untill I am 70 in 3 years time - but I can't drive for hire or reward. The only thing I drive now is a Sprinter mini-bus as a volunteer for a local pensioners club. I wont say on a public forum how old I was when I first got behind the wheel - but it was a bit younger than the law allowed.
