Nice one Jammy, that was good… hee hee

its something that we all immeadely think about not braking harshly due to either rear enders or watching/hearing your load spread itself out :wink: lol as for reverse why would we want to go further back down that 8 mile queue of traffic caused by a muppet rubber necking at other muppets

34/35 for me.

Kate:
34/35 for me.

Show off!!.. hee hee hee :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

You wouldn’t get stuck in the inside lane because you can see five miles ahead and would have pulled out earlier

Keep driving anyway

What should you do when you see a sign warning that your vehicle will not fit through the tunnel ahead?
Seek an alternate route around the tunnel in question
Those people who write the signs don’t understand HGVs in the same way that expert lorry drivers do - I know my vehicle will easily fit through that gap, no matter what the sign says the height/width limit is
Try to get as much speed up as possible, in the hope that your momentum will take you all the way through, also widening the tunnel for your colleagues
You are running late, so you are going to try and get through it anyway, and if you don’t make it, at least you will hold up everyone else too
Crash into the side of the tunnel, totally destroying it, as if you can’t use the tunnel, neither can anyone else!

How do you judge a successful journey?
Completed safely and uneventfully
Completed safely with most of the load intact
Completed in record time
Maximum number of cars in queue behind
Maximum number of cars sounded their horn

What do you do when you see stationary or slow-moving traffic ahead?
Slow down and stop, as you left plenty of room to do so safely
Perform an emergency stop and just avoid hitting them
Swerve all over the road, while locking the wheels and burning rubber, in an attempt to avoid hitting them
Take your foot off the accelerator and grab your Yorkie bar and use the cars to stop you, as you will be ok up above them all

What are headlights for?
To warn other road users of your presence
For other road users to warn you of their presence
To flash Eddie, to let him know it is safe to pull in/out
To dazzle car drivers on the opposite carriageway
To dazzle car drivers who have somehow managed to get past you

How should you drive in heavy rain/spray/fog/bad weather conditions?
Much slower, leaving more space between you and the vehicle infront, and with adequate illumination
As normal, but use the windscreen wipers
Make a point of swerving into all the pools of water you encounter, throwing it all into the path of the vehicle behind you
Overtake more, as everyone else seems to be driving unnecessarily slower than usual

We all appreciate that driving HGVs long distances is boring and monotonous, so which of the following do you do to pass the time?
Suggest to your boss that the load should go by rail, making your journey unnecessary
Concentrate exclusively on the driving, with lots of breaks
Listen to the radio for traffic reports
Shave, smoke, chat on CB
Same as previous, plus read map/newspaper, cut toe nails, trim beard, polish beer belly, and write letters, whilst eating a greasy bacon roll and Yorkie bar

What is the best approach to short lengths of dual carriageway?
I cannot complete an overtaking manoeuvre, so leave it for the queue of cars behind to pass instead
I might try and overtake if there are no cars behind
An opportunity to converse with Eddie alongside and hold up a few cars in the process
I will always pull out immediately and try to overtake, regardless of the queue behind and that it is uphill

What causes the ruts on the inside lane of dual carriageways/motorways?
A very high percentage of overloaded HGVs all driving on exactly the same line, on inadequately constructed roads
My vehicle
It’s a government attempt to convert roads into railways
It’s a government attempt to help automate HGV driving by providing guide paths

Why do HGVs have so many spare wheels?
Because a high percentage of them are overloaded, which causes so many burst tyres
An opportunity to save time when the tyres burst
An opportunity to deposit more bits of burst tyre on the roads
An opportunity to buy cheap tyres in bulk, to keep the vehicle going for longer without forced rest stops
An opportunity to breakdown in the outside lane/across junctions to change the wheel

How do you overtake cyclists?
When overtaking, give plenty of clearance
When overtaking, give minimal clearance
When stuck behind them try to nudge them along, when overtaking try to brush them off the road, and when alongside try to change gear or use the air brakes to frighten them with the loud noise so they fall over
They are actually annoying speed bumps
Collect them like butterflies

What should you do when you notice a motorcyclist rapidly approaching you from behind?
You wouldn’t notice a motorcyclist approaching you from behind, as you don’t use your mirrors
Drive through as many muddy puddles as possible, hoping to cover their visor in mud and obscure their view
Try to obscure their view of the road ahead by swaying from side-to-side
Turn on your ‘Instant Hurricane Generator’, in the hope of creating a big enough slipstream to throw them off the bike

What is the proceedure when driving in convoy with other HGVs from the same company?
Multiple loads to the same destination should definately go by rail
Ensure HGVs depart in order with the fastest/lightest first so there is never a need to overtake each other
All drive in view of each other and chat continuously on the CB
Drive alongside each other and chat out the window
Play ‘cat and mouse’, taking it in turns to overtake each other for the entire journey

What do you do when you suddenly realise you are lost?
Pull-over into the next layby and consult a map or request help via radio
Tail-gate the HGV infront, hoping they are going the same way as you
Stop in the middle of the road and walk up to the nearest road sign, scratching your head in confusion
Stop half-way between the two exits of a junction, while examining an upside-down map, blocking anyone else using either path, until another HGV driver walks up to your window, wondering if you need help
Same as above, except the driver trying to help then discovers you are foreign, and don’t speak any English

When driving down steep mountains, whist heavily overloaded, do you:
Press the middle pedal, to see if it actually does anything
Speed down the mountain, going past clock speed, and using as much road as you can (let’s see if the limiter can slow me THIS time!!)
Weave all over the road, intending to make it flatter for the next truck
If its winter, sound your air horn, hoping to cause an avalanche, to help you on your way down
Same as above, except play your Julie Andrews cd at top volume, filling the mountains with the sound of music, until the hills come alive in the form of a land-slide, then call out the local mountain rescue team and get them to deliver your cargo, while you make off with a lonely goatherd (Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo)

Borrowed from Here

34/35 but don’t know which one was wrong as the answer page won’t come up.

Its actually amazing that all the experience here in these forums, that no-one has actually got 35/35 yet… :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Maybe there is one trick question :question: :unamused: :unamused:

Finally managedto work out why no answers as you needed to go to http://drivtest.carltononline.com/test.htm first then do the test and then once done the test it will pop up the answers (something to do with the way the website is coded :wink: anyway for those of you who dont want to re do test again here are the answers http://drivtest.carltononline.com/answers.htm for those who want to do test NO CHEATING

hides I AM NOT HERE OK NO IM NOT

I got 34/35.

SPOILER ALERT…

I think that the one I got “wrong” was a bit ambiguous - “AS YOU APPROACH THIS CYCLIST THE MAIN HAZARD YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF IS THAT THE CYCLIST MAY…?”

Since the cyclist is already on the road, overtaking parked cars on the left, they’re not going to “swerve into the road.”
