Questions for drivers who have done practical training for their category C lorry driving test (module 3) and taken the test whether passed or otherwise.
Question 1. How many days training would you have preferred for your C category lorry driving test (don’t include the day of the test)?
Question 2. How many hours per day would you have preferred to do, eg. 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, etc.?
Question 3. Would you have liked a tea break during each day’s training? If so, how long, eg. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes?
Question 4. Would you have liked one or two days off during your training? For example, 4 days solid without a break, or maybe 1 day off 2 days on, etc.
Question 5. On the day of the test, would you have preferred training or no training? If yes to training on the day of the test, how many hours?
Question 6. Was the lorry park near the driving test centre? Would you have preferred the lorry park to be near the test centre? Bear in mind, that time spent driving on non-challenging roads to get to practise on the driving test centre test routes could be time wasted out of your precious hours.
Question 7. Was the driving test centre route too difficult, ie. having lots of parked cars with oncoming traffic on your side of the road and difficult roundabout layouts including double roundabouts and ridiculously tight hairpin bends and narrow roads with lorries and buses coming the other way, each just missing each other’s mirrors?
