can anyone tell me how to get one and how much it costs...whats involved?

I think the driver cards are £38.00 and believe you must have the relevant entitlement on your license, you will need to complete a form ST1A The DVLA issue the cards.

You can order the drivers smart card application forms direct from the dvla,

no you dont need a test straightforward

Theres no test. As digital tachographs are being fitted into Land Rovers which tow now, then the 'class entitlement' isnt particularly difficult to achieve either.

I have one and my work got/paid for mine. All i did was fill in a form on my boss's desk

Oh and i went through 4 in one year as the slightest of scratches on the chip will break them. I used to keep mine in my wallet.

Id try to avoid a vehicle with one in, as theyre endless trouble (from a compliance perspective). If I had to then Id borrow a company card...
