The chap I spoke to at Ontime did not mention the word 'enhanced', just the fact that all the Ontime drivers were vetted. They had a Thames Valley Police contract, not sure about a Met contract. Would not know if the vetting procedure is any different.
Personally, I would go for it Kate....what have you got to lose. I would think the vetting part would be at the outset, before you got near to a lorry.

I may be talking out of the top of my head, but I always thought a caution, was, 'a smack on the wrist, don't do it again'  type of punishment.
You will probably be ok.

It is recorded though terbert and remains on file so needs to be declared for any CRB check

Yes, I totally agree, Lizzie....I was trying to determine the difference in severity as against a fine or more serious punishment Where it came in a scale of, say 1 to 10

On that it depends on what the precipitant of the caution does next and what crime they committed.  If they re-offend then the caution can be taken into account, and depending on the offence that the caution covered it will detirmine further action being taken by the CPS.

I've got a feeling that I'm going to get rejected but I'll give it a try anyway.

I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but times are really bad for the recovery industry!
We're struggling, and have been put on a reduced week. Speaking to Ontime drivers and staff, they're in an equally bad situation, especially as their pay is highly dependant on the jobs they are given. Kavanaghs have just laid off 42 drivers.

I would have to be pretty desperate to be taking a self employed recovery job  at the moment, especially in London where traffic means that the number of jobs you can do are seriously limited.

Thanks. So I don't need to declare a caution?

Thanks Nick.

C&S said I would be able to earn £20,000 working in central London.

Do you think they might be exaggerating?

Should I not bother do you think?

I've not read all the posts but a word of caution about recovering vehicles for the police.

A very good friend of mine and his son gave up their business recovering cars for the police. The first occasion, the son went to pick up a car and take it to the pound for forensic examination and was followed by some people who certainly didn't want any tests done on the car and they got very violent putting my friends son in hospital to get to the car to burn it out.
The police inspector said it was a one off and they would secure all vehicles and accompany the recovery driver to the pound and please carry on............. They did and on the second and last time  the recovery vehicle was followed, my friend just reversed at speed down a one way street and beat a hasty retreat to escape the drug dealers who wanted the car back.

TAKE CARE
