Janet shows John some driving Videos, John likes a good film, but these are not good films.
 John is Bored.

Janet uses PowerPoint to send John to sleep.
Janet shouts at John to wake up.

Janet tells john lots of things, some of which are right.
Janet tells John that after 6 hours he must take 30 minutes break.
John asks Janet “are you sure?”
Janet tells john that he will be fined for not winding his trailer legs up fully.
“Are you sure?” asks John.
Janet tells John to shut up, pay attention and of course she is sure, she has read a book on it.
John thinks that this will be a long week.

One week later.

John is in the yard near his lorry. John is wearing a shiny new plastic badge. Do you have a shiny new plastic badge? John does.

John is talking to his friend Dick. Dick is a driver too.
“Hello Dick” says John.
“Hello John” says Dick.

“That’s a nice shiny new plastic badge you are wearing, where did you get it from?” asks Dick.
“Janet gave it to me” Says John. “I was a good boy and listened to everything she told me”
“Janet told me all kinds of things about drivers hours, how to avoid police fines, how to put a bandage onto someone’s arm, how to lift an empty box,how to wear my hi viz jacket, what kind of food to eat so that I don’t get clogged arteries, and how to get a good night’s sleep when I get home”

John tells Dick that if he sits in a classroom for a week with Janet, she will give him one.
Dick thinks he would like to give Janet one.
John thinks he would like to give Dick one.

Mr Smith comes over to Dick and tells him
“Sorry Dick, even though you have worked for me for 20 years, and never had an accident, until you get a shiny new plastic card, you will have to leave”
Dick is very sad. See Dick cry, cry Dick cry.

Mr Smith hands the keys to a brand new motor to John.
“Here you are John, even though you have only been driving for 2 years, because you have a shiny plastic card, you can drive the firms top truck. There is a nice new double decker curtain sider loaded ready to go out, off you go John”

Can you get a 16’ trailer under a 13’9" bridge?

John can’t!
