At MT Training Kidderminster, we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive HGV driver training in Worcestershire. Our program is meticulously designed to equip aspiring drivers with the necessary skills for a successful career in heavy goods vehicle operation. This week, we’re thrilled to celebrate Jacob’s exceptional achievement in passing his 3b test with an outstanding result.

Understanding the 3b Practical Road Driving Test

The HGV driving test consists of two critical components: the 3a, which focuses on off-road skills like reversing and coupling, and the 3b, which evaluates practical road driving abilities. The 3b test is crucial as it simulates real-world driving conditions to ensure that all drivers can safely and efficiently handle heavy vehicles under various road scenarios. During the test, examiners assess several key skills:

  • Vehicle Controls: Ensuring drivers can effectively manage all vehicle controls.
  • Manoeuvring: Including tasks like moving away at an angle, as well as uphill and downhill, to test handling in different gradients.
  • Controlled Stop: Evaluating the ability to bring the vehicle to a stop smoothly and safely.
  • Mirror Use and Signaling: Ensuring drivers can appropriately use mirrors and signals to communicate with other road users.
  • Awareness and Anticipation: Assessing the driver’s ability to anticipate and react to the actions of other road users.
  • Progress and Speed Management: Monitoring how drivers manage their speed and overall progress through varying traffic conditions.
  • Hazard Management: Testing drivers’ abilities to identify and respond to road hazards.
  • Safe Stopping: Choosing safe and suitable places to stop the vehicle when necessary.
  • Independent Driving: A 10-minute segment that evaluates the driver’s ability to navigate safely while making decisions independently.
