Running commentary of my quest to become an LGV driver

Driver CPC Module 4 (Demonstration)
I had the test today (14/09/2017) and I passed it YEY!!! Bains Driving school have an in-house Examiner. My instructor went through the rigors of the demonstration before I was examined – my score was 95 out of a possible 100, anything below 80 is a fail, or is it 85…

Some questions asked;

  1. Show me how you would carry out a walk-around check?
  2. Where would you leave the vehicle at night, and how would you ensure that it is safe?
  3. You stopped at a rest stop before boarding a ferry, what precautions do you need to take to ensure you do not carry illegal immigrants and drug onto the ferry (more checks).

“Show me” and “Tell me” type questions.

I was also taught how to use the restraints (chain and tensioners), but no demonstration was on that from the Examiner, though from my Instructor.
