  1. I do learn and continue to accumulate experience every day of the week in whatever I am given or have cause to use on a public road .. this is the jpg.s of said certificate .. it wont fit in the scanner .. I have paint (-ed) out my name .. I booked in for Advanced training .. took one lesson and was put forward for the test by the instructor http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab232/copycat73/img019.jpg http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab232/copycat73/img020.jpg
  2. that's a fair question prior to takin my lesson & test I was involved in Motorcycle training .. I rode my DR600 exactly as I had been taught to teach trainees for their test.. I completed my first lesson and the instructor put me forward for my test... he raised 3 points 1. Don't follow too close behind lorries on dual carriageways .. Yep .. that was because the bike was under powered.. if I had taken my CBR600 it wouldn`t have happened.. 2.Why was I goin so slow past parked cars through Hexham .. Had a car pull a U turn in similar circumstances and I was over cautious .. there was a line of cars comin the other way which left little room .. well it seemed that way to me .. 3.I had a second dab of the brakes when goin round a blind narrow bend onto a hump back bridge .. yep an unfamiliar road. I took on board what I was told.. I took the test a short time later and passed.. The A3 size Pass certificate turned up in the post.. it doesn`t matter how I attempt to answer that remark it will never be good enough .. you will pick fault with the answer.. so... No comment.
  3. I can't see how that can be if the van falls under a B category I recommend the policy holder / owner check with the broker before initiate any cover ... I cannot give you the whys and wherefores ..insures tend be a law unto them selves.. I was warned and told to check out gladiator as they were one of the ones that did.. they are who I`m insured with and carried over all my NCB from the car.. I`m also lead to believe that this was a one way ticket as changing back could be just as much hassle.. .. but I suggest that you or anyone planning on buyin a Van do your own research as things like this can and do change .. caveat emptor.
  4. mine went from under £100 to over £300 .. RWD. Transit LWB. HR. 3.5t 125ps... not all underwriters will accept your NCB off the car as suitable for the van .. ring first and ask.. Gladiator did with me.. settin the millage low can perversely put up the premium .. ask ...
  5. I bet the next time he is caught he`ll have a knife or gun ...
  6. perfectly clear .. track experience is just that .. that's why you`ll need re-training for the road.. be sure to tell the instructor of your experience in general ...
  7. possibly.. if time money and energy allow ...
  8. what is the out-put wattage of headlight bulb... has some one fitted a 55w item ?
