At MT Training Plymouth, we are dedicated to providing top-tier HGV driver training, ensuring our trainees are fully equipped to handle the complexities of operating heavy goods vehicles safely and efficiently. It’s with great pride that we announce Mark’s successful completion of his CE 3b test, a significant achievement that underscores the quality and effectiveness of our training programs.

Detailed Overview of the CE 3b Test

The HGV driving test is meticulously structured into two parts, with the 3b test focusing on practical road driving. This critical assessment is designed to evaluate a trainee’s proficiency in real-world driving scenarios, ensuring they are well-prepared to enter the workforce as competent professional drivers. During the test, examiners observe and evaluate several key aspects of driving:

  • Vehicle Controls: Demonstrating effective use of all vehicle controls, ensuring smooth operation under various conditions.
  • Manoeuvring Skills: Including the ability to move away at an angle, as well as navigate uphill and downhill, essential for daily driving tasks.
  • Controlled Stop: Assessing the driver’s ability to perform a safe and controlled stop, an important safety skill.
  • Mirror Use and Signalling: Proper use of mirrors and signals to communicate intentions with other road users.
  • Awareness and Anticipation: Showing keen awareness of the surroundings and anticipating the actions of other road users to prevent accidents.
  • Progress and Speed Management: Managing the vehicle’s progress and adapting speed appropriately to align with road conditions and traffic.
  • Hazard Management: Identifying and appropriately reacting to road hazards, ensuring safe driving practices.
  • Safe Stopping: Selecting a safe and suitable location to stop the vehicle when necessary.

The test also includes 10 minutes of independent driving, which challenges the driver to make safe and effective decisions independently, without guidance, mirroring the real demands of HGV driving.
