A young lad from Kirkliston has become the youngest person in the UK to pass his class C HGV driving test.
Robbie Smith, 18, is following in the footsteps of his proud father, who founded and operates Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd in the capital. He left school at age 15 and says that he always wanted to join the family business.
Unbelievably, Robbie only had two days of training before passing the test. He was hampered by the fact that the learning vehicle was off the road for its MOT.
