Chard teenager may hold record as UK's youngest HGV driver

Daniel Dearden of P J Dearden and Son could be the UKs youngest truck driver.

CHARD may have a record breaker with the UKs youngest truck driver in the town. Daniel Dearden, 18, of P J Dearden and Son in Chaffcombe Road has recently passed his HGV test. Daniel comes from a family of truckers, with grandfather John and uncle Peter owning the business and father Stuart also driving for the firm.

The achievement follows national media coverage of 19-year-old Katie Gillard, also from Somerset, who was reported to be the youngest HGV driver in the country aged 19. The age limit for HGV licences dropped from 21 to 18 last year, meaning Daniel could well hold the record.

I thought this story was going to be about a 14 year old or something like that. I have seen plenty of 18 year olds these days who look like they are in their mid 30s. Do they baby them in Brit land or what?
