The HGV part 3a test covers off-road exercises: an S-shaped reverse into a bay and, for tests with a trailer, uncoupling and recoupling. Practical preparation focuses on controlled manoeuvring and the procedures for your vehicle category.
The HGV part 3b test includes vehicle safety questions and an hour of practical road driving, including ten minutes of independent driving. The examiner assesses safe control, observation and anticipation. You must pass part 3a before taking part 3b.
Lincoln’s changing levels and older streets make route planning a useful professional habit. Choose an approach suitable for the vehicle and read restrictions before committing to a turn. Practical preparation develops observation, control and the ability to judge available space.
Engineering sites and surrounding villages
Commercial journeys can involve larger business premises and smaller customer destinations beyond the city. Receiving instructions, junction layouts and road width all deserve attention. Your instructor helps you develop planned approaches and controlled manoeuvring as conditions change.
