Am booked into do cpc mod 4 next week, before the test itself me and another guy have done 2x 1 hour run through the questions with the trainer.
this is were there is a bit of confusion , the first thing the trainer said was listed all 5 topics and then ruled out questions the examiner wont ask and questions the examiner will always ask.
basically what we have covered is clandestine entrants and contraband and how to search the vehicle for both
the second topic was daily checksthis is class turn on engine open door check exhaust for smoke. then if they ask to do a rolling brake check first gear handbrake off let it roll forward until you build up about 10mph then break, then check the speedometer and the tachograph both read the same speed. next show how to use the washer/wiper then horn check next turn on lights so front beam side lightsfog lights and left indicator. checkdrivers mirror climb out 3 point contact back to the road check the front drivers tyre for 1mm thread across 3/4 of the width full circumference of the tyre checking for any buldges in the tyre wall cuts or any cord wire and checking that the wheel nut indicators are all aligned and that theres enough thread on each and no signs of heavy rust on one
next check the wiper blades make sure there is grip and they arent damaged
then check front number plate is clean clear attached to the vehicle and no cracks
same for the lights clean clear attached to the vehicle and no cracks or damages
passenger mirror clean clear attached to the vehicle no cracks or damages
passenger front tyre check the thread is 1mm across 3/4 of the width of the full circumference of the tyre no buldges in the tyre wall no cuts or wire cord stick through and all the nut indicators are all aligned up or the nut tread is the same
next check marker light are clean clear attached to the vehicle and working and no cracks or damages
then checking rear passenger tyre both same again this time checking the two tyres arent touching
number plate at the back clean clear fixed to the vehcile no crack damges
reflectors clean clear fixed to the vehicle no cracks or damages
drivers rear tyres same again and check there is a gap between both tyres
markers lights on driver side clean clear and fixed to the vehicle
then open drivers door check speed limit sticker which is 56mph
and the tachograph sticker it has been calibrated within 2 years
then right indicator turn on and check down the driver side
then climb in and adjust the seat
any time you start the vehicle its handbrake neutral ignition yellow lights all show and no reds then turn ignition on until they all go out anytime you exit the vehicle its handbrake neutral turn off ignition remove key and driver mirror exit 3 point contact back to the road
the next section is how you would enter the vehcile prepare the seat adjustment start the vehicle and then how would you turn the engine off back to neutral and exit the vehicle
thats pretty much it
there the whole process of checking for contraband and clandestine entrants
they have basically given us 2 hours prep for the test.
my main issue is are these big info dumps full sections and the examiner is only going to ask a few questions in each or will it likely be i will have to do show me tell covering pretty much all the information ive covered in the post
