Hgv class 1 fail

It’s all very simple. Dont check your blind spots and you’re playing roulette with other folk’s lives. You may get away with it for a number of years. But the odds are shortening every time you’re on the road. It’s not smart or clever to ignore the checks and treat them as “something for test”. Any good instructor will demonstrate the reason for the checks and that will help it stick.

As for adjusting the mirrors so that head movements have to be exaggerated, I had a trainee do this many years ago for his test without my knowledge. The examiner stopped him after a few minutes and suggested he might like to adjust the mirrors correctly. There is no need for any of this performance. Examiners are perfectly aware of whether a mirror has been checked or not. Very often the confusion comes when the candidate maintains they checked the mirrors - and they genuinely did. But maybe not at the correct time. And that will give the mark.

Hope this helps, Pete S :laughing: :laughing:
