LGV Theory Test & Driving Test
To be successful at the driving test, candidates must achieve the pass standards for both the practical and the theory elements. Atlas LGV Training will ensure that you are prepared through all aspects of our LGV driver training.
Tests are arranged at a local Department for Transport Test Centre and all candidates will be provided with a written report at the end of the test.
The LGV Theory Test
The theory test starts with a series of multiple choice questions after which you can take a short break of up to three minutes before talking the second element - "Hazard Perception".
HGV Hazard Perception
This section is intended to test your ability to recognize developing hazards on the road. Following an on-screen tutorial, preparing you for the test, a series of 14 short video clips is shown.
The videos, using real road situations, are filmed as if you were the driver. Each clip lasts for about one minute and the DSA have around 200 film clips available, from which the computer will randomly select 14 for your test.
You are given just one chance to respond to the hazard perception videos, the same as you were actually on the road.
The test is marked on a points system. Within the 14 clips, there will be 'scorable hazards' which are the developing hazards that you need to spot in order to score points. As soon as you spot one, click on your mouse button (left or right) to record the fact that you have spotted it. A flag will appear at the bottom of the screen to show that you have clicked the mouse. The quicker you respond to each potential hazard, the higher your score for that hazard. However, if you click the mouse repeatedly rather than just when you spot a hazard, you will score zero for that clip.
The maximum possible number of points is 75. Initially the pass mark for LGV / PCV theory test candidates will be 50.
