It’s Time to Scrap a Driver’s CPC

This is huge news if you work in HGV jobs or if you work in driving jobs. According to UKIP, Brexit is giving the haulage industry a great opportunity to do away with any controversial CPC. Jill Seymour has spoken out and she has stated that the CPC has brought a lot of hardship to drivers and it has also brought a lot of misery as well. This has been the case for countless drivers up and down the UK and she has always campaigned against it. The driver CPC is very damaging and now the European Commission has stated that they are not going to recognise British driving certificates after Brexit, there is no saying what will happen next.

Some people have stated that this is a great chance for the government to do something right by the people who work in this industry, and that is to do away with the CPC forever. This would be great news for those who do have problems with it and it is known for being very expensive as well. A lot of people believe that this is a very complicated system and it can even force people to take an early retirement and it can also cause them to lose their jobs as well. The result is a shortage of drivers who work in the industry and things are already struggling when compared to other industries. Some people believe that the system is proven and that it has served us well. Not many people believe this and it is more seen as being controversial.

So that raises the question, if you were to scrap the CPC, would more drivers come to the industry? Would it make it easier for people to keep their jobs? Would it actually make a difference to how happy drivers are?
