We LGV C+E (HGV1) licence holders are very snobbish and self-superior and do not consider 7.5 tonne vehicles to be "lorries". A lorry is what I drive. Looks like Worry, sounds like Sorry.  |

And "truck" is fine, it comes from the ancient Greek "trokhos" which means "wheel" (as our sole educated member will confirm) and had been in use to describe wheeled wagons for centuries., the first known usage of "truck" was in 1611 when it referred to the small strong wheels on ships' cannon carriages |

I like the word juggernaut for class ones. But that’s because I like jagganath. Look up the entomology it’s quite interesting. Most towns in the south of India have a cerimonial juggernaut that they wheel out once a year. |

Most towns in the south of India have a cerimonial juggernaut that they wheel out once a year. It may or may not be a truck but it isn't a lorry (which was the word you used in the thread title). Assuming you passed your car test before 1st January 1997 you could drive a 7.5 tonne vehicle on your Category B licence. I quite like the word Juggernaut although it tends to be used exclusively in a derogatory sense. Not that we give a shit what anyone thinks of us as we set out on yet another 15 mile dual carriageway 0.00001 mph speed differential elephant race.  |

They are talking about allowing all Category B licence holders to drive 7.5 tonne vehicles now, which I personally think should happen. It was the wanky eu who forced us to change the system in the first place and now we have fucked them off out of it we should decide vehicle licensing requirements for ourselves.

I have driven a long wheelbase transit and won a row with a motorcycle rider in London whilst driving it (if you can’t see my wing mirrors I can’t see you mate, so fuck off)..
Does that count?

. Look up the entomology it’s quite interesting. Is it a large insect of some sort? |

I can't stand it when people can't tell the difference between etymology and entomology.
It bugs me.
