This shows that a 15 min break was taken in a 10 hour period followed by two more 15 min breaks 4:37
I have a querie, im currently on my 45+ comp, i'll drive on sat, but not on sunday, then again on monday, itll be about a 27hr break from sat- sunday 00:00, then 9hrs from then to when i drive, is that 27hr break automatically logged as a reduced weekly rest? Because i need to take RWR later in the week to make it to a drop, and not 45hr. Is it if i take 2 rwr in a row, on 2 separate weeks have to also take a 45hr in the same weekas the 2nd one?
That was amazing learning and teaching 4 moving on right time well done mantra
i have got my test on moday but the reverse is always the issue for me. i have been told once the trailer is straight after the one right turn i should make a quarter turn to the left, but seeing here you are doing one turn to the left 12 o clock.. i will try it out and see how it goes today.
This is by far the clearest guide I've seen so far.
I have my medical on Tuesday then start my class 1, this vidoyhad helped a lot thank you. Wondering whybthey test this and not parking in a bay?
There was no question about height indicators and stuff was there
@@magnetking1396 we didn’t add a question about height as it’s not a question the dvsa will Ask on your practical 3b test. However rest assured that we do mention to our learners the importance of knowing your vehicle height.
🎉 well tell the planners ... who can't count
Hi there, is the vehicle you’re checking classed as a class 2 ? Thank you in advance.
Yes mate of course. It’s a 12t so it meets the requirements to gain your Cat C
@thelifeofahgvinstructor992 thanks for the reply, we've been driving these on a car licence, grandfather rights, for ages, our place of work said they've been reclassified as 7.5 tonnes ...
I am new driver on a rigid and already got an infringement I thought i was doing it right but later to be told by my manager that i have an infringement I don’t know wat comes next worried
what was reason
brother i,m also new and new joining from monday.i,m also scare about rule.can you guide me little bit
This is exactly what I needed! 🙌 #blessed #grateful
@@kamilkudzia3387 ❤️
Done mine today and after 4 hours i walked, got stressed.! Id had enough 3 hours in..Went in for test and i fucked it..needed 2 shunts ro get straight. . Fucked that up. So walked of the test! Didnt get taught this way. I got taught to full lock right and look out for the yellow plate on the rear of trailor..Then full lock it other way driving down the yellow line. At this point im going across the rd waiting to get striaght but im miles out..all over the pllace trying to get it back into the yellow box!.This way seems so easy to do.
Great and excelent explanation ❤
@@AlexMalefic thank you
hi. I have to prepare for the C+E practical test in about 35 days. But my friends, I'm very worried about my reversing test. Please tell me how I can overcome my anxiety and prepare my mind for it
Could you please give me a good opportunity to work in your country
Just passed my 3a today and am finding these videos great refreshers as it completely bashed my brains in and I've forgotten half of it 🤣Throughout my learning and exam they had me lowering and raising the suspension on the unit to get under the trailer. Complete pain in the backside and confused me so much as it wasn't included in any of the learning material or BLACK. This little black remote control just came out of nowhere.
Just passed my 3a, reversing and un/re-coupling, after around four hours training this morning and came here to refresh everything. It's really interesting you guys put on a full right lock on. They had me coming back in a gentle arch after straightening up across the line after the first turn. I was still straightening up as my trailer was coming into the cone bay and found it dead awkward as I could see bugger all out of the near side mirror. Lining up with just one mirror was just no good. Definitely needed one shunt! This way looks like you have much more room to correct lining up as you're coming back. The truck was an absolute dog as well. MAN. Really difficult to tell if the thing was parked straight without the trailer on. Felt like I was driving a shoe that's two sizes too small!
What about the tyres on the trailer?
At the beginning of the test you would do an all-round vehicle check, including the trailer. Because the trailer has already been checked the examiner will be happy as long as you just mention doing a walk-around trailer check and asking them to check your lights during this exercise.
Which country training this
Does the red trolley represent the lorry😂 I'm confused how it represents load distribution on the lorry. Confused when u say the top part represents the head board and body of vehicle
It sounds easy in the video but in theory tests, they can ask for confusing calculations. Here is a typical question from a Theory Test: "Martin arrives at work in the morning to find that John, the FLT driver, has already started loading his vehicle with pallets of cardboard. Martin will be driving to Inverness, a journey which should take about 6 hours driving each way. He will leave the depot at 7 am. He is driving an 18 tonne curtain-sided vehicle. 1- What time will Martin have to stop driving for a required break under EU Regulation EC 561/2006 assuming he started work at 6:45 am?" 2- What is the maximum daily driving time under EU Regulation EC 561/2006? 3- Which of the following does Martin NOT need to enter on an analogue tachograph? a)Start date b)MPW of vehicle c)Any other duties that may have been completed before taking over this vehicle d)Vehicle registration number e)Start and end place f)Driver name
so you add 4.5 hrs to the start time of 7 am. That's when your break needs to be taken.
Hello, I am struggling with the reverse exercise, have failed my test today . I have been told to do a full right lock until seeing the black mark on the trailer and then a full left lock slowly moving backwards to straighten the cabin with a trailer ,but that seems to put the trailer at such sharp angle And basically puts the front right wheel right on the yellow line or almost over, so I am stressing between going over the yellow line without seeing anything and not understanding my positioning relatively to the cone I am suppose to go around by the time I see the cone I have very little room left to direct the trailer into the parking bay and give it the correct angle and no room for a mistake at all when it comes to steering … Seeing instructors do it with ease puts even more pressure 🤣 thanks for the video!
I passed yesterday and was taught 1 full right until you see the marker and full 2 left turns until it bends then straighten up and just caress it into the bay
I just passed today and had the exact same problem at first. The instructor explained I was reversing too fast and steering too slow, so I was using up way too much space to turn the wheels. Once you see that first mark slow the truck right down to a crawl and throw on those two left turns to straighten up. Really throw them hands around! From there it's dead easy. It's keeping that right wheel away from the line that's the hard part.
I’m an Aussie truck driver. And I think our rules are easier to understand.
@@izaak1509 I’ve done this in Australia too
Expect anything driving full stop
Complicated or what???
What a brilliant video...New Class 1 driver passed last November (2023) not been in one since as I've driven class 2 for 3 years...Tesco driving assessment 7pm tonight, so thought I'd best have a look at how to couple and uncouple again! This was perfect great video for revision so thanks
Definitely emergency
That was a emergency brake situation
There are so many bad drivers that don't really care, or how to read the road. Always in a hurry. It's drivers that cause accidents.
Do they still do the restraining demonstration stuff?
Yes mate
@@thelifeofahgvinstructor992 cheers mate got mine Friday next week..
Good video
Thanks
En Londres es?
I’ve watched this video around 30 times. Got my test today and my instructor has been crap. Must of only had 30 minutes practice reversing, in an old factory car park with no proper cone set outs or barriers to reverse into. I’ve no markers for reversing into so I’m going into this blind this morning. Hopefully this video gets me through. 👍
How did you do?
Thanks so much for your explanation really helpful and excellent I hope everything is ok tomorrow inshalla
Best of luck!
A bad (or should that be good?) case of the giggles. 😂
Was a funny one this 😂
Came here to brush up on my coupling/uncoupling skills that I learnt a year ago when I passed but never used them since then and now have an assessment next week for a job I am desperate to get. Spot on video. Thank you for the help.
Your welcome, Thanks
Today I struggled with reverse exercise
Keep going mate
@@thelifeofahgvinstructor992 I’ve passed today so happy
Isnt that example of 15 minute rests over 12 hours wrong? You need 30 mins over 9 hours in the example given you worked 10 hours before the second break
I dont believe so. It says you have to take 30 minutes of total rest if you work 6-9 hours. so if you work longer than 9 hours I dont think you have to take 30 minutes rest within 9 hours of work, you just have to take 45 minutes throughout the shift or in the middle of the shift
@@BenMiles-c3u Ok thanks
Noticed the driver put his head under the body of the truck to check the wheels arnt touching I was told not to do that and to stand near the front wheels to see it and not to stick your head between the bars, I have you all week for my lessons on Monday
👍🏼
This is a very tricky roundabout given the size of it and other motorists not staying in lane, not many giving hgv’s the chance to stay in the actual lane they need to complete the turns
Kevin Ward is a brilliant instructor & helped me pass my class 2 this week ,He is a fantastic coach and helped me out with this roundabout, it is a dangerous one as normally someone will cut you up to just to pass you…
I just passed my reverse test today at this center I deeply appreciate from lovely and fantastic instructor call Michelle who just reversing truck at this video. you are star 💫🙏
On behalf of Michelle and the team, congratulations
Im from essex. Just starting the learning journey to a class 2
Good luck mate
I think my 2 years yard shunting experience will be useful on this.
Sure will mate
where are you located please
Manchester
Another great vlog from the guys at TNLA, how you doing Kev? hope all is well...onto Class 1, i should have taken up the opportunity to go on this when i passed class 2 last year, but wasn't to be at that time as to much going on then..and i still carry the PMA with me, oh and the sock on the mirror i still use it now and again, wife thinks i'm nuts haha - Mr.Schumacher!!

@@cristicristi5466 what happened?
Thank you for watching
Very interesting. I'll need to watch this several more times
Thank you
Is it 2 full turns to the left?
After the first 1 turn to the right, yes. The turn being hand at 12, back round to 12, imagining the steering wheel was a clock
