BogMonster Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Where's the logic in vehicles with lots of passengers being allowed balder tyres I wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 But read b. in the 1.6mm section above about Dual Purpose vehicles mines only got 5 seats inc mine [driver] so I'll stay with the deeper minimum depth, cos it's much safer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Not all 110's Chris later ones only sit 9, therefore still 1.6mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Population control? Chris Have to say that ANY tyre that is down to 1.6mm is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard on a 4x4 anyway, whether on or off road. Mine get dumped long before that!

Top90 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Population control? Chris Thats right, a coach with loads of people on board is allowed to run balder tyres than a car. I was suprised when I did my CPC in passenger transport, but there are lots of strange rules in most forms of goverment legislation as we all know.

Turbocharger Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 There are some bizarre rules out there - service buses on stage carriage work do not need working windscreen washers to pass a roadside inspection, for example. What brought you to a CPC? It's something I've got to achieve in the next 12 months, although nobody in work has actually mentioned how much work it is yet...

I did my PSV one a few years ago due to running a passenger transport company. You can do home study but it takes a while. I did a 6 day intensive course, with the exams the week after. Then it just takes 8 weeks to see if you have passed. If you want any info PM me and I'll reply with the company details I did it through. They do both HGV and PSV as well as other stuff like dangerous loads. They are based in Thurrock though. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 PCV - I work for First. I suspect it'll be the home study option - they're not going to give me time off work for it!! It doesn't sound too onerous, just something that has to be done. Thanks for the info, I might be back to you in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
