this is great,thanks,can i ask is here about this cpc thing is it pass or fail, whats the score on it just intrested on it,
Initial driver cpc consists of 2 pass or fail tests
Module 2 theory
Module 4 practical
Periodic driver cpc is 35 hours of attendance with no tests
Hi all I have just came back from my mod 4 test today I got 95% so really happy but I would like to point out that PDF from flair training was bang on and far better than any revision material given to me by my trainer. I had 2 hours training before my test but really I just used the vehicle to relate to the printed out flair training to get me ready for test and that along with a good instructor I felt confident. Would also like to stress I went with another lad who had his tes before me and he failed due to not demonstrating enough and just telling the examiner what he would do
But thanks to this forum and all of the good advice on here I passed and now have a start on Monday driving a 18t road sweeper thanks again Neil
This is very helpful thanks for posting this! Doing mine at the end of the month will post the questions up on here many thanks.

Hi hgvhgv,
Thanks for that mate!!
Please don’t let your attempt at remembering the questions prevent you from passing though.
great advice, i passed mine monday just gone. if anyone needs anything else, dont hesitate to ask
Passed this today took about 10 mins because it was raining and the examiner wanted to get it finished he practically told me the answers as we were walking round!
If your doing this best advice is to use the flair pdf as the questions on test are worded pretty much the same!

LOL! Maybe that was the same examiner mentioned above who finds these tests boring
Could well be if he is from Slyfield Guildford!!!

I passed my module 4 today 100% score, I got the same 5 questions that big brummie macca had, was quite easy and was done within 20 minutes.
Passed today with 95%, I have not even looked at the booklet giving to me by my training school, I just printed that Flair document off and read the questions and learned from them, cheers for the post’s and links about this topic guys as it is the reason for me passing
I’m about to start training for Class C, great to find this site after weighing up a few schools round Manchester and settling on Stockport HGV. Every question I had has been learned the hard way and answered by many. Helped my mate revising for these tests as well so hopefully some of it sank in then too. Can’t wait to get started now. Thanks
life saver, many thanks
These are thebonly answeres you will ever need for the mod4!

Must be a box or curtainsider - same vehicle rules as for the road test
Surely a box is the same as a container on a slider is it not ?

Sorry - yes it can be a container as long as it is not a sealed one
Why not a sealed 1 ■■
