I know. Why would they. Maybe try from India Thailand Malaysia. They may be nutters but at least they drive on our side.

How about USA?

That's a panic causes, and very dangerous too. The drinks bottle is not designed to contain petrol and will likely dissolve, spilling petrol all over the car's interior - hope she doesn't light a fag, or she may pay for her stupid panicking with her life.

Always make sure you double bag your Petrol.............

In, let's say, 2016, let's suppose we had "sufficient" drivers.

Since then, some have retired, some have died, some spend their time walking the dog or pottering on the allotment, or swigging wine from morning to night, and some have gone home to their country of origin.

No, let's say 2012, when driver shortages were first documented throughout Europe.

Most of them are licence renewals.

DVLA need to pull there fingers out

there a waste of space

and they are not all renewals

way things are going with the DVLA there will be 40000 less drivers

Forty Thousand

Where did you hear that?

It's been well documented that at least 30,000 potential drivers went untrained during the 2 year covid period, it's also been well documented that there has been some resistance to DVLA workers returning to work.

Still no answer.

How about USA?

Wrong side of the road.
They'd slaughter too many motorcyclists then flee (claiming immunity) when the shoite hits the fan.

 

[fillyboy]

Still no answer.

HGV driver shortage is not ‘because of Brexit’, it’s a problem across the EU too (facts4eu.org)
