What type of driving license do you need to drive a camper-van in the UK?

driving
drapert2001 asked:


I'm thinking of hiring a campervan to go on a week holiday. I already have a regular full B driving license, but I don't know what I need to drive a campervan.

Is there a minimum age to drive them? Or is there a maximum weight before a higher licence is required?

Many thanks.

What was the potential energy of truck 1 at the top of the hill?

truck
krysdizzle_2006 asked:


You are a traffic accident investigator. You have arrived at the scene of an accident. Two trucks of equal mass(3,000 kg each) were involved in a rear-end accident at a stop sign. here is what you know:
Truck 1 approched the intersection from the top of a 22-meter hill.
Truck 2 was on a flat stretch of road directly in front of truck 1.
At the bottom of the hill, before braking for the stop sign, Truck 1 was going 20 m/s and truck 2 was going 35 m/s.
From the skid marks on the road you can see that truck 1 applied force on its brakes for 2 seconds, 80 meters before the stop sign.
There were no skid marks left by truck 2. The collision occured at the stop sign, where truck 2 had stopped.
After the collision, both trucks were moving together in the same direction at 10 m/s, before slowly rolling to a stop.
You must now push truck 2 using 1,000 N of force, 8 meters off the side of the road so no one else gets hurt.

Any advice for how to learn to drive, when your absolutley terrified of driving?

driving
Lioness021186 asked:


I'm 21, and I still don't have a driver's license. In high school, I never had time to learn, and then I was in college and definitely didnt have the time. I'm now a senior in college, and even though I dont think I'll need to have a car once I graduate because I plan on moving to NYC, I still believe I may at some point need to drive. My younger sister got her license this summer;and so didmy boyfriend, so now I am the only one I know without a license. Ive been taking driving lessons for about a month and a half this summer, and now I have to go back to school, and I still havent taken the road tet. I just know Im not ready to pass the test yet, thats why I havent taken it. Its not that I dont want to drive, I just have an extreme fear of driving. I get like serious panic attacks if Im on the road for more then 15 minutes. Any advice as to how to overcome this fear and actually get my license and drive without being afraid of dying?
