If drivers don’t need to know about how their rigs work, why are there questions on the theory test like: “Which of these components can be found inside the engine?”Just wondering
Not asking you to change a big end shell on the M62.
Just a basic knowledge of how to change a bloody headlight bulb
Instead of paying some dik company like Edgertons 200 hundred quid to fit a bulb why not teach the monkey behind the wheel the basics?
For christ sake you cannot all be that thick?

Maybe a bit of fvkin mechanical comprehension eh?Hey bobjakey the real joke is that these useless monkeys bleat about ■■■■ poor money.
They are “professional” drivers and and know jack [zb] about what they drive.Sound like a load of office lasses when the photocopier runs out of ink.
Bloody useless.Waste of bloody time.Born dumb stay dumb.
Ink in a photocopier ■■? Glass houses and all that

Where does the bulb go? Is it in the back of the shiny domed disc thingy, or does the glass screw off the front somehow■■? 
Anyway, why would I want to replace one shell, as the fact that one shell needs replacing would probably mean that all the shells need replacing. And if that is the case, it would probably require the crank removing, the big ends being reground, and oversized shells being used. But don’t ask me, I know nothing boss!

Yes but most are “steering wheel attendants”
Tried to explain to a “driver” how his brakes worked the other night.
Not much responce.I would agree with the CPC if it even started to show drivers the basics of how their vehicle operates,basic braking,electrical and drive systems.Would also make their job a bit more interesting.
Most drivers would like to know how their vehicle operates and instead of listening to some pratt spout garbage Im sure they would appreciate a bit of insight into how the bloody thing they are sat in for hours a day really works.
But who the hell am I!
If I wanted to work in a garage, I’d have trained as a mechanic. As it happens I’m a driver, I drive the bloody thing.

About sums it up nowadays. Ha+1
Its not compulsory to be a thick [zb] to be a truck driver.
I always wondered why this board, supposedly for “Steering wheel attendents over 25 with 2 years experience” has to be censored as if we’re all between the ages of 13 and 15?
…Then compare things like Facebook, which is full of 13 year olds - where saying “Bollox” or anything else you like - stands.
Does one have to be 13-15 to hold a valid licence to swear these days? 
…Then there’s Daily Mail - where anything remotely anti-semitic, anti-tory, anti oligarch, or anti-chattering class 4x4 owner who claims more in tax expenses than I earn (not that I’m ranting here) gets “removed for public offence” - a clear lie, because they never published the well-dictioned & profound remarks of yours truly in the first place to get compained about!

I agree with truckyboy there is no real need to have any mechanical knowledge today, if you have fair play, but not necessary .
Can’t wait for the abuse and insults
Yes so as the fire brigade scrape your remains of the arse doors of a container you just ploughed in to then they turn to me and say well it appears his brakes failed,I say you can only teach a cabbage so much officer.He knew better tee hee .
Now wheres his wife?and his pension

A driver doesn’t really need to know how truck brakes work. Just that they do actually work.
If they work, you won’t be ploughing into the back of a container.
If they don’t work, it’ll be going to the workshop, not out on the road.
It’s a very rare occurrence these days that truck brakes fail totally, on the road, with no warning.
6 weekly inspections etc should pick up brakes not working properly, long before they get close to failing.
Knowing how they should work won’t make much difference, when your half way down a hill if they fail. You’ll probably need a change of underwear however much knowledge you have.

Don’t bother with the turbo either, if it sounds like it’s on the way out, no such thing as engine runaway.
I was gonna put a reply, but then I thought, BS King… I can’t be arsed. Mind you, I reckon he’s albion71 too.

Well my answer to that (speaking from a cabbage’s point of view) would be that long before I found myself in the situation you use as an example, I would no longer drive the motor as soon as I sensed a fault in the brake system but park in a suitable place and ring in.
Why would I need to know the technical reasons for the said fault unless I was planning to repair it myself?
One of the few good points about how the job has changed is you no longer have to get under your trailer with a spanner on the slack adjusters, …(even if the brakes are now self adjusting) you just ring in for guys like you to do it nowadays, if that makes me a cabbage or whatever in your bizzare logic bking me old mate, …well so be it.

Not necessarily, so long as they were fixed. I’m sure even a 747 pilot doesn’t know the intricacies of jet turbines does he!?
