Revise the responsibilities of a large-goods driver

LGV questions add vehicle size, load, route and working-time decisions to the road rules every driver must know.

1

Loads and dimensions

Relate restraint, axle loading, height and overhang to stability, bridge strikes and the checks required before and during a journey.

2

Hours and route planning

Plan legal rest, suitable roads, low bridges, weight restrictions and safe stopping places before a deadline turns into a risky driving decision.

3

Heavy-vehicle hazards

Allow for long stopping distances, blind areas, tail swing and vulnerable road users. The safest answer usually creates space before the conflict develops.
