The DL25 test report explained - Show & Tell

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)

I am about to start a series of posts explaining both to candidates and trainers what actually happens on a test. The DL25 is the form the examiner has on his lap throughout the test. I will post every few days with another box on the form.

Let’s start at the beginning. Show/tell questions. On a LGV test you will be asked 5. 3 show me questions and 2 tell me questions. Each incorrect answer will earn 1 driving fault (minor) get all 5 wrong it’s a serious fault. I’ve never seen that. But I have seen 16 faults (fail) where 1 was a question so learn them all.

Next time I will discuss reversing faults. That is probably more interesting.

I would like to have read something like this before taking my C+E.

Knowing more about what your marked on etc would have been very valuable to me to read up on.

I’d say there are quite a few topics that i would like to have been covered, similar to the gearbox one whoch helped me a lot.

This is a massive opportunity for trainers / oldtimers to make themselves really known on this forum as Pete is

Just beware of out of date info. I know that John is fully up to date so I would prefer folks to watch his threads that can be totally relied on.

At last, the myths are being dispelled!
