Once you have passed both your Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception theory tests your C practical course can be arranged and the practical test can be booked – the test lasts approximately 1.5 hours.
The Category C practical test consists of several parts:
- ‘Show Me Tell Me C‘ – You will be asked 5 questions from the list
- Reverse Manoeuvre – Off Road (See Below)
- General Road Driving – On Road
- Independent Drive – On Road
When attending training and test you MUST have BOTH parts of your licence and theory certificate.
Sorry about the windy day!
Upon passing your Category C practical test, your examiner will send your licence to the DVLA for updating to the full entitlement. The DVLA will also add the Category C+E provisional entitlement.
If you are planning to drive a LGV for a living and are required to do the Driver Initial CPC Qualification, then that is the next step.
