Hi all,
Passed my Class 1 today
Not been around here as much recently, work and everything kept me busy, but dropped in at times and kept up with everything in here being helpfully with everything, always a nice reminder that most of the HGV industry gets decent people.
Started my Class 1 in October, test got cancelled and a few things got in the way and a bit of a faff but going sorted with my test for today and a couple hours yesterday to get some practice in, I was bricking it, Nerves on test really messed with me on my class 2 took 4 goes to get that one right, not driven a artic for 5 months and only couple hours in the cab didn’t fill me with confidence, but trainer was fantastic, examiner was a really good guy, the sun was out and kept my cool, everything went fine, one minor I didn’t straddle the lanes on the last roundabout turning right just before getting back to the test centre and just caught the roundabout but didn’t go over it, just rubbed the tyres so didn’t ruin everything for me.
Good Luck to everybody else on their tests, remember you can do it, stay calm, take the time and space you need and you will not have to see that clipboard of doom ever again!
