LGV Blindspot check On DVSA Test

dcgpx:
I’m not an instructor but I can say I was definitely shown on both C and CE to do the blind spot the way as the examiner explained by actually looking over the shoulder and not relying on a mirror check.

Thanks for the reply
If other instructors are teaching this then I will have to start doing so.
So did you have your window open during the test? I ask this because I am 6’3 and have the seat as far back as it will go. If I had the window closed all I would see over my shoulder is the inside of the cab.
I will add though that this is the first time any of my test candidates have got more than 1 minor for blindspot checks and that itself is very rare, usually when they have omitted to do it.
