At MT Training Bristol, we are dedicated to providing exemplary HGV driver training, tailored to equip our candidates with the necessary skills for a successful career in heavy goods vehicle operation. This week, we are pleased to celebrate Craig’s successful completion of his Cat C 3b test with a great result, demonstrating the effectiveness of our training programs and the hard work put in by our trainees.
Insight into the 3b Practical Road Driving Test
The HGV driving test comprises two parts, with the 3b test focusing specifically on practical road driving. This test is crucial as it assesses a driver’s ability to handle real-world driving scenarios under various conditions. During the 3b test, examiners look for proficiency in several key areas:
- Vehicle Controls: Ensuring that drivers can effectively use all the vehicle’s controls under different driving conditions.
- Manoeuvring: Including moving away at an angle, as well as uphill and downhill, which tests the driver’s ability to handle the vehicle in challenging situations.
- Controlled Stop: Evaluating the driver’s capability to bring the vehicle to a stop in a controlled and safe manner.
- Using Mirrors and Signalling: Critical for maintaining awareness of the surrounding environment and communicating intentions to other road users.
- Awareness and Anticipation: Demonstrating the ability to foresee and react appropriately to the actions of other road users.
- Progress and Speed Management: Managing the vehicle’s speed and progress efficiently, especially in varying traffic conditions.
- Dealing with Hazards: Identifying and responding to potential hazards on the road.
- Safe Stopping: Choosing appropriate and safe locations to stop the vehicle when necessary.
- Independent Driving: A 10-minute segment designed to assess the driver’s ability to navigate safely while making independent decisions.
