gained lots of reading up and absorbing of the my PCV (passenger carrying vehicle) licence back in November 2007 after spending approximately a month in the training school where Highway Code was mandatory, as was getting through as many hazard perception clips as possible to prepare me for the real life situations I would face out on the road as a professional bus driver.
