Overjoyed at passing the C element today. Hope to do the C+E in the next few weeks.
Managed it with 6 minor faults. I thought I had bombed as I fluffed the last change of gear on the exercise but got everything else on that part spot on.
Would you believe I did 1,2,3,4,3,2, almost reverse, then 3rd and finally 1st!!
Even so I drove round the rest of the test with the thought I had failed as my instructor had more or less said no examiner would pass this element unless it was right.
At the end he only gave me one minor mark for the gear fluff.
So a big big thank you to the people at Stockport HGV and especially to Dave my instructor, who will be taking me through my C+E.
many congratulations on your test result I think it’s best to get straight on with the class 1 as soon as you can. The test centre felt more familiar to me on the artic and not so inimidating by doing the two tests close together.
