• You have to do a reversing exercise which is conducted off road at the Test Centre. (We hire a reversing area that is correctly marked out and not simply waste ground. Plus we work with an accurate height barrier and cones and poles etc).
• There is a controlled brake exercise, which is conducted at the Test Centre.
• Moving off – up hill, down hill and on the level.
• Before you move off, check to the front and to the rear both on the off side and near side to ensure that it is safe to move away and, if necessary, give the appropriate signal in plenty of time.
• Smooth co-ordination in the use of the accelerator, clutch and handbrake is very important in getting a large goods vehicle on the move. You must avoid using excessive engine revolutions or needless clutch slipping.
• Proper use of mirrors.
• Signals.
• Right and left turns and negotiating roundabouts.
• On the trailer test C & E (Class One) un-coupling and re-coupling is conducted at the end of the test.

You, as a trainee, can only make up to 15 minor mistakes on your test. 16 and you fail.

The test is approximately 1 hour covering up to 20 miles on the road.
