A lot of the new trucks we are getting at work now have the audible (VERY audible) 'vehicle turning left' warnings when the left indicator is engaged by the driver and 4 cameras constantly recording facing front, rear, n/s & o/s. I guess time will tell how effective these devices are.

Round Derby way we have a couple of training companies who charge £850 for 3 days training then test or £1050 4 days training then test Cat C then same again Cat C+E. Theory tests aren't too expensive to book through direct gov website (I'm putting four lads through test at work currently). Luckily for you, you won't need driver cpc. Hope you can find reputable trainers round your way.

If you do have to add the side & rear protection bars, they're not too difficult or expensive. We modified this 14 plate DAF truck at work recently for about £200 to meet Transport For Londons new safer lorry scheme regulations. You can buy the parts from local HGV supply agents. The modifications are to the spec of the testers manual. We had the added fun of making sure they cleared the cab & chassis furniture when the body tips, they also fold upwards to provide access to the chassis mounted fuel tanks etc or can be unbolted altogether.
