I started watching your videos 3 years ago. I passed my Mod 4 on Monday this week and passed my Reverse test 2 days later. Now its just my driving on the road test I need to do.
Thank you so much David. Best of luck 👍👍🤞🤞
Watched this video before my test and happily passed my test, would highly recommend your videos
Thank you so much, Aaron and a big well done👍👍👍👍. Thank you so much for your comments.. 👍👍👍
This video is so useful. I failed on the reversing exercise on my first test attempt, but passed on my second attempt last week largely thanks to this video. The shunt was never really explained to me properly (I should've taken a shunt during my first test) but this video explains the shunt and the manoeuvre as a whole so clearly. I needed to take a shunt during during my second test. I honestly don't know if I would have if I hadn't watch this video. Keep up the great work and thank you for your help.
Great work well done, thank you so much for your comments.👍👍👍
passed my cat c today and must say your videos played a big part in me doing this. keep up the good work and well done for creating this videos for the likes of us drivers.
cheers NDC
You're more than welcome Darren well done.👍👍👍👍
Got my class 2 next week watched a few of your videos now. Definitely helped my confidence
Thank you so much. Good luck hope it all goes well.
Hi guys, really finding your videos interesting. I don't actually drive for a living, I work in a secondary school at present but I love driving and I'm considering a career change, watching your videos is proving really beneficial and informative.
Hi Andrew, great to hear you like them! You could look into getting your bus/ lorry licence and if you liked the training that will then make your decision easier to stay in school or change career to go driving! Worth a little think :)
Awesome video thanks, just passed my C1 with only a couple of minors, you videos really helped. All the best.
Well done! 🥳 glad to of helped.
Perfectly explained. Thanks for the training on this Paul.
Note for anyone out there contemplating...NDC are brilliant for HGV training. Highly recommended 👌 👍🏻 👏 💯

Best video I seen on this manoeuvre, got my test in two days time. Thanks guys 👍
Great to hear Alan, how did it go?!
Did you pass?
Thank you and you are really perfect
So nice of you to say! Thanks Amir 😊
Like anything. Once you get used to the size of the vehicle you develop spacial awareness and its all very easy. My advice is simple, take it slowly and use your wide angle mirrors. Amazing how many people don't realise how vital they are for reversing.
Thank you so much for your input👍👍👍
Awesome guys! 👌
Thank you so much 😀👍
Hi. Used your video on reversing to get knowledge of the reversing. Must admit I did stop watching this to concentrate on my instructor doing the reversing. Did my reversing test today and am pleased to say by using this video to start with I passed my reversing first time.
I did do a shunt and pulled forward. And went back straight. Thought that was better doing that way.
Downside to this because I had the reversing on the same day as my class c test I failed the driving test. Not my driving company fault. The third party people who forgot about my reversing test that should of been Wednesday.
Thanks for the video along with the mod 4 pass I used for your videos.
Thank you so Much Phillip. Great work on the 3a and mod 4, Sorry to hear about your driving test. Good luck for next time.
Hi. This is an update on my last comment. A month ago I had to redo my rigid reversing after my passed certificate in march was out of date. Refreshed on here for a practice run after 7 months since I last did it, at the company I was with ( different company than when I did my first comment) . Turned out I didn't need a practice after all and told made the practice look easy. Did reversing test again and passed with a shunt involved. Was told that a few other students watched on, in the distance for guidance for Thier practice and eventual test
Good news is that Thanks to your videos and using a far better testing company, I passed my class 2 rigid driving test at the third attempt. Thanks to you all over the many months I did watching your videos. I'll definitely be back when I redo my artic.
Ps
Apologies for the long winded comment.
very helpfull got my test next month.
Best of luck Peter.
very straight foward
Thank you so much 👍👍
Great video! 👍
Glad you liked it!
New subscriber, I've got my driving test next week.
Good luck! Take your time, remember to relax...and breathe! You'll be fine Mr Rose.
@@NationalDrivingCentre thank you. My first lesson is on Friday so from now till then, I'll be watching your videos. 👌🏿
@@Rosebuddz_Revenge Good luck matey!
Watched this video last night and found it extremely helpful. Followed all the tips, but was told that I was too slow I had failed. In your video you say that this is not timed. I was taking my time to ensure that I did not go over the yellow lines, or knock any of the cones.
always a limit my friend but what they mean is no rushing just be steady
Thank you so much for your comment.👍
Your work so good bro
Thank you so much👍👍
❤ Love this
Thank you 👍👍
I need to start the process by June and I have subscribed now for more information

Don't forget 3 point cabin exit/entrance I did not new about it only after this video I found out about it.
Always important, don't want to fall out! 🤪
Best advice is get out and check. Passed by reverse test today, would have failed, if I never checked as was on black line not over it. ( also make sure lorry is straight. On Traning had o/s in box but because I was not straight had touch Barrier with n/s )
Great job Kevin👍👍👍. Well done.
@@NationalDrivingCentre thank you for your videos been helping with some of the points . And with the great training from APex Peterborough today I’ve passed my hgv2 test.

These guys are brilliant at explaining. Can I suggest to show what to do when its not going well and you need to adjust
Thank you so much. A very good point, thank you.👍👍👍
My test will be on 3th April I hope to pass easily. When I watched this video my stress is zero.
Thank you so much. Best of luck for the test. 🤞🤞🤞👍👍

Driving without seatbelt? What an awesome instructure.
The reversing exercise dose not require a seat belt but thank you for your comment. 👍👍👍
Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much👍👍👍👍
Very good vidio thanks all.
Thank you so much 👍👍👍
Do all the test centres have the same set up on reversing manovers or are they different procedures depending on oh you do your test with?? Great video by the way really helpful. Thanks.
Hi Richard, all tests have the same reversing exercise 😊
Excellent videos on this subject,I recommend these videos to people's that's going to get their hgv license just like meself.looking for one that covers CPC module 4 if there's one
Thank you so much Clive👍👍
yes there is

Have been watching all your videos lately as I'm going from cat B to C+E test in 2 weeks time and find them all very helpful being Dyslexic as well, one thing though you never did explain the marker on the reverse.
Thank you so much for your kind words Carl. Best of luck for your test🤞🤞.
The company you go with will talk through their rehearsing marker as all companies are different, and if you want to come with us, we'll go through it as well 👍👍
@National Driving Centre Thank you for your reply, that's brilliant thank you for letting me know. Doing my test with Castle lgv training as I'm close to Brighton, i will let you know how I get on and direct people to your videos.
@@tuesley100 👍👍
At 5:48 during the initial turn you mention "lots of right mirror checks" but what about the left mirror? Did you know that if you fail to check your left mirror during this initial turn you will fail the test? I know because I did. My instructor told me not to cross the yellow line on my right and so I was focusing on my right mirror just like you suggested, but I wasn't given clear instruction about the use of the left mirror during this turn.
Hi Ash, sorry to hear about the test. Should be covered in your driving instruction to check. It is a strong fail, but can happen if you get transfixed with just the one side. Good luck with the next one.
great video guys my trainer hasn't show me how to do the revers like that he say you have to drive between the cones and line them up under the wing mirrors there's even markers on the mirrors then turn the wheel once hmm maybe this is why I'm on my 3rd test tomorrow I've failed twice now both on revers
Thank you so much for your comment.
So nice
Thank you.👍👍👍
do the DVSA mark you on dry steering? I have been told by several car instructors that they dont care and in fact some instructors tell their pupils to do it as its easier but i could see it being different for a HGV due to the weight of the vehicle
It's a very good question, it really comes down to the instructor and Examiner. Some will teach it and allow it some won't. If you done in front of me I would give you a minor 🧐 because I have to maintain and look after these vehicles and the surface area as well. Hope this helps. Thank you so much for your question. 👍👍👍👍
So for instance if your reversing and need to take a shunt can you just drive forward and straight backwards or do you need to align in the starting position?
Hello Jerry. A good question, The driver can just pull forward he does not need to back to the start.👍👍
Hi, one of my siblings was aspiring to get a HGV/LGV license. Reversing cameras come standard on many vehicles, however they would be well suited and ideal for these type of vehicles. Giving the driver clear visibility and total confidence of what is behind him/her and potentially eliminating the risk of a serious accident.
Absolutely and a great point, We like to teach our students without the camera even though some of our vehicles do have them fitted. The reason for this is If they have been instructed to use the CCTV reversing system while training and on test day it fails to work then this could be a problem. Also not all vehicles have this system so if we train without it then in real life they should be ok and if they do come across vehicles with it then thats all a plus. Thank you for the comment and great point.
@@NationalDrivingCentre hello
And should your marker align just as it reaches the the start of the yellow box.?
This all depends on the driving School and where they have positioned it.👍
What about the length of the garage and length of lorry 🚛 when stop reversing in the garage before hitting the barrier what markers to use pl comment
Each company use different markers on different vehicles Raheel👌🏼
This was the easy part. Did mine yesterday. The hardest part is coming up on the driving test 🤞
Best of luck for the second part hope all goes well.👍👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre I hope.so.
I'm using an 18t Merc for my training.
It is a bigger vehicle than the other ones being used. I'm finding it ok, but some parts of Leicestershire can be tricky.
I'm hoping we don't go that way during the test. Always come back to your videos. Thank-you 👍😊
@@wurzel1873 thank you so much for your comment yes that's a large vehicle to be training in, but if you could do it in that you can do it in anything.👍👍👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre I passed today with 3 minors. What a week and months of waiting for this moment.
Was so overwhelmed..
Now for the tests ahead safely.
First drop tomorrow with hiab locally.
New challenge learning the gears 😄
@@wurzel1873 Great work that's so good to hear well done. 👍👍👍👍👍
I can pull off this maneuver in my sleep. When I'm driving my smart car that is.
🤣
Same principle, just with something bigger 🤪
you might have considerably more difficulty with truck I drove at airport was longwheel base about 3 ft longer than normal truck with limited steering lock.
@@NationalDrivingCentre It's weird how you get used to larger vehicles. I'm so used to driving a LWB Sprinter that I actually struggle to park my girlfriend's Fiesta because it's not square and way smaller than I'm used to.
Wish I'd seen this before I took my test. It was never fully emphasised how I should have driven close to the B cone on my drive forward. I got too far to the right and was in trouble as soon as I started reversing, touched the yellow line on my right, then went over the cone which I never saw in my mirror.
So sorry to hear that. Hope all goes well for the next one.👍👍👍👍
Yes, When I originally took my test 3 years ago, the examiner was waving for me to go more right. Maybe I was actually too far left, or maybe he wanted me centre, but I started off too far in the middle and was so worried about going over the line, that I hit the 1st cone. Makes all the difference pulling to the left. as you can just concentrate on seeing the 4 cones. My original instructor never explained that to me...in fact we were doing it with jumpers and coats lol This explains perfectly what my new instructors said today and it was much easier.
How can you accurately tell how close you are to the barrier and marker at the end though?
We have a maker on the rear mud gard that can tell you were the rear of the vehicle is.
Thanks for the video. I'm needing my Cat C for the ambulance service, will I need to drive a lorry like the one in this video for that?
Thank you so much. Normally the ambulance service is a C1 but yes if they are asking for a category C it will be this vehicle. 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre Hi, thanks for replying. I just double checked and it's a C1 that is required. Would that just be the mini bus type vehicle?
Do I need to do that test even when I had my car licence well before 1997 because I have the agency I do and the company I worked for that I don't need a test
If you passed pre 1997 then you can drive up to 7.5t in a lorry. The lorry in this video needs a Category C/ Class 2 licence.
What job options are there for class 2 , if you don't want to do multi drop. ?
Long haul/ European tramping? Could be a winner!
go into tipping
I hope you read this message, how much experience do you need on the road to take this test, for example do I need more than 1 years experience on the road? Or can I pass my car test and instantly go in for my class 1 and 2? Any help advice is appreciated!
There is no strict time of holding of a licence if you wanna get another one
Thank you so much for your comment.👍
Hi guys. I may have missed it but if you pass the reverse test but fail the actual test, do you need to re-do this part?
Reversing exercise 3a will last for six months, so if you fail 3b the on road drive you have six months to retake the driving test. 👍👍
I have a question, if you pass a cat c test (with the dvla auto upgrade system of lower categories) will you get d1? Anyone know??
Thank you so much for your question ian with regards to the driving test. Yes if you pass a category C you only get a C1, but you will not get the D1 as a passenger carrying vehicle and large goods, vehicle or separate. And if you pass a C+E, you will get the C and C1. When you pass the category D you will then get the D1 or you could just take the D1 on its own. Hope this helps. If you've got any questions, please give us a call. Kind Regards Paul.👍👍
My instructor told me to get it on full lock before you set off to give more chance of turning
We have been told this a lot, but in long years instructing the problem we see is the student can pull forward on test and be over to the offside to much so as they turn full lock the wheel goes over the line causing a serious fault. Doing it this way means if there are any nerves or differences to instruction the student can see this and adapt to the conditions. When a student fails the most common comment we hear is “I have not done that all week” this is what we are trying to avoid with this technique. We hope this helps Simon.
what's the best way to understand the width of a hgv as your driving?
The best thing to do would be to increase your left and right mirrors. I know that sounds easy but increasing the mirrors would make you check your positioning with regards to the left-hand curb or the right-hand centreline in time this will then increase your all-round understanding of the width. Hope this helps Chris Best of luck. 👍👍👍
Is there anywhere I can get the measurements for this test? Approx would do.
Yes if you google HGV reversing exercise the results to come up make sure you click on the one from the government website.👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre excellent thanks
Is it just a variation of your regular cat B parallel parking?
In some ways yes, this is carried out off the road in a controlled environment. And obviously the cats are just a little bit bigger. 👍👍
On test day should the driver put on the hazard lights whilst reversing?
Hello Paddy on test day this is not essential, this can come down to company policy or the companies safe systems of work where you are training. A lot of new vehicles now as soon as you put it into reverse the hazard lights do come on but as we said not a sensual observation and control is the main thing the examiner is looking for when reversing. 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre thank you so much for the reply 👍
Since the fuel shortage I am thinking of becoming lgv driver at moment I am doing taxi but I don't know what is the difference between class 1 and class c.
Category C is the rigid Lorry. Class one is the old way of saying an articulated vehicle otherwise known as a C+E. the best way to remember it is E is always a trailer so B+E is a car and trailer.👍👍
Bit of advice lads I am seriously thinking about doing my class 2 as I am a 48 year old brickie but fancy doing something a little less physical as I get older although I am physically fit and healthy and fancy a job that's better over the winter months with no chance of being rained of also I enjoy driving, I will still do a bit of brick work but am wondering is it a good idea or am I being silly
try working for council driving refuse truck, you may have to help load when in a close or cul de sac but wheely bins not hard work UNLIKE metal pig bins very heavy good luck !
Go for it.
Thank you so much for your comment.
Any reason why dry steering?
No 🧐🧐🧐
How would you know where the back of the lorry is and how far you can go? I know there are markers but in the real world you wouldn't have markers and most lorries are different sizes.
Thank you so much for your comment Josh, in the real world you can still have markers on the vehicles, especially with the C+E It doesn't matter which tractor unit you're using because the market will be on the trailer. As for the cat C the marker would be the same for every driver. It takes five minutes to install this, and it's just a hosepipe or cable tie on the back of the mudguard. If you're not going to use a marker, then you're just gonna have to get out and have a look. There's nothing wrong with doing this, and don't feel ashamed to do it rather get out and have a look, then crack a lens or damage the rear doors, 👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentrethank you for the reply, I will keep that in mind, I dont think the instructor explained how to use the marker to your advantage. I have a class 2 test in January and I find these videos helpful. And thanks for the video on the show me tell me :)
Do you start to steer in line the yellow line after the full lock part
Sorry just a little bit unsure of the question. As soon as the tyres start to go backwards that's when we start to steer left heading over towards the yellow line and then parallel to the yellow line. If you have any further questions please give us a call.👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre sorry yeah this is what I meant. Your video has Helped me a lot. I have my test today
@@robinsonfamily5752 👍
I failed today. I used the wrong camera for reversing. Will try again hopefully next week if I get a test date. Thank you
Nice training from NDC... How can I get this HGV driving test. I am speaking from Nigeria. Thanks.
Sorry, you would need to here first👍

Can I drive manual truck .if passed with automatic mate?
You can drive a manual truck if you passed your car test in a manual
Thanks Mick, spot on information!
What kind license I need for drive those kinda trucks!?
Category C/ Class 2! www.nationaldrivingcentre.co.uk/c-lorry-lgv-training-course-2/
Hi@Harry W , you would need a Class 1 for articulated. So you would need to pass the Category C in this video to then go onto the Class 1/ C+E course.
