Your LGV Practical Test
Once you have completed your driver training, and if you feel ready and confident, you will complete your test. This will include 3A and 3B practical driving tests.
The 3A off-road exercise consists of completing an “s” shape manoeuvre. You will then show the examiner how the coupling and uncoupling procedure.
The 3B on-road exercise will go ahead once you have successfully completed the 3A test. You will move onto driving on the road, which consists of answering a number of “show me- tell me” questions.
You will also experience independent driving and following driving instructions.
Once you have completed all the training and examination requirements, you will find out whether you have passed or not.

Once you pass your medical examination, you need to complete the D2 provisional licence form. This will be sent to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) once it has been completed. This will need the information from your D4 medical.
