We’re delighted to congratulate Shaun on passing his Category C 3B practical driving test first time at our Bristol Training Centre.
Passing first time is never guaranteed. It requires careful preparation, professional instruction and a calm, confident approach during the practical driving assessment.
Shaun demonstrated exactly the standard required by the DVSA and can now move forward towards a rewarding career driving rigid HGV vehicles.
Everyone at MT Training Services wishes Shaun every success for the future and thanks him for choosing us for his HGV driver training.
What is the Category C 3B Test?
The Category C 3B test is the practical on-road driving assessment required to obtain a Category C licence.
During the test, candidates demonstrate they can safely operate a large rigid goods vehicle in a wide range of real-world driving situations.
The examiner assesses areas including:
- Vehicle control
- Road positioning
- Observation
- Planning ahead
- Junctions and roundabouts
- Speed management
- Hazard awareness
- Mirror use
- Reversing where appropriate
- Overall safe driving ability
The aim is to ensure newly qualified drivers can operate professionally and safely before receiving their HGV licence.
