The CPC is a competence certificate. There is a legislative process in place that one has to do five courses in order to become a competent driver. It is part of the NTA and is European-wide, even though France has refused to do it. One will not be allowed to drive plant on a road here without doing the five modules. How come every private plant or lorry driver in Ireland is obliged to fill in these forms every morning and there are public bodies that are allowed to refuse, without a word about it?
