Michael Aldread comments "Passed my test at Canonbury depot in 1983 in a 3-wheeler Reg 8084 BY, my license was 'full' for electric vehicles only."

Chris Austen remembers "The examiner here is Sid/Syd Bishop; he also conducted testing on fork-lift trucks. I passed my test at Mottingham in 1960 driving an electric vehicle; it meant that I was covered for other vehicles up to and including Class 1 HGVs!!! My examiner was Denis Wilkins. I already held a motorcycle licence. In order to confront my brothers, who would always mention this test when discussing who was the best driver, I took, and passed, the Institute of Advanced test!!!" (Courtesy Mark Hudson)
