Atlas LGV Training

HGV Training and Lorry Driver Training 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 for all aspects of HGV driver training, lorry driving training and LGV 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.

LGV and HGV Driver Training 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". 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 and the DSA has around 200 film clips available, from which the computer will randomly select 14 for your test. Each clip lasts for about one minute.

In the multiple-choice question part of the test, you can return to your previous answers and change them if you wish. The hazard perception test is different - each film clip is shown only once and you cannot review clips or change your answers. You are given just one chance to deal with the hazardous situation, 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.
