Driver CPC is here to stay!

Mike Penning MP, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport, expressed his concerns about the image of driving as a profession and the shortage of younger drivers in the workforce. He was very clear in his message about the future of the Driver CPC saying “There are concerns regarding the age profile of drivers. We want to work together and get drivers fit for what they do, and encourage young people to the profession. This skills shortage needs to be addressed and the Driver CPC is an important part of this. He concluded, “I want to be very clear, the Driver CPC is here to stay - It is not going anywhere and there will not be an amnesty.”

What more do I need to say? Can I beg companies out there to look at what is happening, review business risk, look at the benefits of training and get it booked (preferably with me - but get it booked somewhere!) before your drivers become illegal on the roads.....
