Amphibious cars were all the rage in the 1950s and 60s after World War II engineers proved the viability and reliability of such vehicles. Then they faded away as cost-conscious consumers realised they had better things to spend money on. Could that be changing? Perhaps, if a new amphibious caravan now being developed by a..READ MORE
The HGV Training Centre is one of the largest driver-training companies in the UK, operating nearly four dozen HGV driving schools across the country. Our size and extensive industry connections give us insight into the transport and haulage industries and their view of the current regulatory environment.

Highways England says we have a real problem with tyre pressure on our roads. According to research they recently released, one in every four cars on the road has at least one tyre that is dangerously under-inflated; nearly all HGVs are running with at least one under-inflated tyre at any given time. This is clearly..READ MORE
Highways England has announced plans to spend some £1.5 billion on motorway improvements in three key areas around the country. All three are areas in which the HGV Training Centre offers comprehensive training for professional drivers. For example, students can come to us for HGV training in Northamptonshire, where money will be spent on the..READ MORE
In the ongoing push to reduce the number of accidents between HGVs and cyclists, the government has come up with a number of controversial ideas that may or may not work.

Losing that licence requires the driver to either stop working temporarily – until a licence is restored – or find an entirely new line of work. Therefore, it makes sense for drivers to do everything they can..READ MORE
Nothing ever comes easy to the haulage industry when dealing with the public or attempting to abide by regulations. The problems our industry deals with are exemplified in a row currently going on in Iver, in south-east Buckinghamshire. As a leading provider of HGV training in Buckinghamshire, we can certainly sympathise with residents and haulage..READ MORE
Traffic Commissioner Nick Jones is making no apologies for handing down a harsh punishment against an HGV driver found guilty of falsifying records by using a magnet to alter his electronic tachograph. The man’s lorry licence was revoked and he was banned from driving for 12 months. As the owner and operator of his own..READ MORE
HGV driving has an unfortunate and undeserved reputation as being a career of last resort.
