how much does H licence test cost ?

Hanno's comment about some one meeting the police while driving a tank reminded me of a similar happening locally.

Each year at our summer rally we take a trail ride with many of the vehicles attending the show including the armor. To be sure we have no problems we always check in with the police and the Army Corps of Engineers to get approvals ahead of time.

One year there was a new officer on the force who did get the memo about the show and came rolling into the rally site to ask what was going one. He pulled on to the field with a very surprised look on his face when he saw 75-100 military vehicles and 6 or so pieces of armor including two tanks with the with their main guns trained down the road he had just driven in. (Guns elevated to be over the roofs of vehicles.)

Any way we explained what the show was all about gave him copies of all the permits, including a copy of the memo from his own department. He went from looking concerned to a smile as he finally got out of his cruiser. He explained he had been flagged down by a citizen about tanks on the road, then with a grin said he was a little conflicted as to checking it out or heading in the other direction.

If your curious about why permits from the Corps Engineers most of our off roading is on a flood control project that they are in charge of.

We have had some big armor drive over the road to the show, most is hauled in but the Army Reserve drove a tank retriever 23 miles over the road one year to the show.
