Hi everyone - been a while since I posted an update, I know. Today I passed Class 1 in Mansfield Woodhouse with Peter Smythe. It was my second attempt at class 1, though I must stress my first with Peter Smythe Transport Training.
Can’t praise their standard of training highly enough, I had 6 hours training spread over 2 days with test on day 2 (today). I had Roy as trainer on day 1 for 4 hours, and Peter himself for 2 hours or so this morning before the test. I opted to take the test in the automatic artic, as I am used to driving Class C 26T auto in my job. The wagon, although not new is in A1 condition and drives superbly, which I am sure was at least partially responsible for my success today, the rest being down to the attitude of the trainers who made me feel super confident before the test - I had virtually no pre-test nerves this time, and I felt almost physically sick just before test 1 a few weeks ago.
So - a big thanks to Pete and the gang, I’m over the moon at getting the pass with just 1 minor for road markings (stopped partially in a ‘keep clear’ at a set of lights).
Best of luck to all you others going through your training.
