IlLE sharing some of John tcher's views of the CPC (CM vember 19 1983) and his nparison with dear Barbara 3tle's TML, I must point out nonsense of even having a C (or TML) under the present es. The holder of a restricted icence is not required to have 3 qualification, and indeed the a of the fleet can be in "the iusands" with all vehicles "at maximum weight".

low ridiculous it is to then Ike it a legal requirement for holder of a standard 0:nce authorising one 8-tonne )SS flat truck to have to sit ough a CPC examination and his business future to depend on getting a pass, and to have such requirement in the owncount sector.

f safety of operation is a key )ment in road transport orations, then al/ operators ould have to be qualified — this is what the original TML envisaged.

If it is thought necessary that the hire and reward sector should meet a financial and management standard, this could be another sector of the examination syllabus in the same way as a sector covers international operations.

All the transport associations should take a serious look at the current CPC Regulations and unite in an effort to make them more meaningful.

I wonder how many of our MPs realised when the CPC Regulations were going through Parliament that over 70 per cent of the transport operations and the managers of those operations need never have a CPC, and can at the same time be responsible for some of the largest fleets.
