Do long distance lorry drivers have to pay for a tv licence?
Answers:
Yes don't listen to any other shi* others are saying, I know cos I got done with a 740 BMW and I thought the police were bullshitting me. You need it even if you've got a home one. Its supposed to have it displayed on the window.
hahaha yea i think so!! why would you think they are exempt?!!
yes on thier tv at home
i would have thought not many loory drivers i knew when i was driving didn,t
I didnt when i was on the road, but as other posts have said it was probably covered by my home license.
You don't need a licence for a TV that cannot be powered by mains electricity - so technically, it depends on the type of TV in their cab. If it can only be powered by batteries, or through a cigarette lighter adapter, then no.
Unless the lorry has an address, no.
You can't put a registration number as the address on a TV licence application - how would the postman deliver the licence?
However, they will need a licence for their TV at home, and that will also cover them for a battery-powered TV used elsewhere.
I'm not sure on the legal position if they had a TV in their truck, but not at home.
I don't know many lorry drivers with a 42 inch Plazma in their cab.
Only if it is in your home/premises
Only if they can't drive faster than the detector van!
