Driver shortage

With the current shortage of PCV and LGV drivers, is it time to lobby the government to offer training to people on benefits?

It is only going to get worse with the average age of drivers going up.

Also, I believe if you can drive a truck you can drive a coach. Is it time to combine the two licences?

I have both, and apart from a few minor differences it's the same.
