You asked me the other day if I'd ever driven an HGV. The answer is
no, but I have ridden a bike, have passed the test that allows me to
ride any size of M/cycle that I want, have held a full car licence for
44 years, passed my PSV test 38 years ago, passed to drive steam
locomotives (trains to you) 43 years ago, passed to drive underground
trains 41 years ago and passed an internal test of competence to drive
fork and reach trucks 35 years ago. So you're right, I'm not licensed
to drive an HGV though I suspect it's not difficult (I can use constant
mesh boxes without crashing any gear) and I've no experience of tracks
vehicles, what's your life experience of driving other than cars and
HGVs?
