Get rid of rear view mirror
Remember when you learnt to drive a car & the sterring wheel position as well as seat position then that will help keep hand on the stering wheel at all times un less changing gear
Mirror Mirror Mirror Mirror
Mirror Signal Manoeuvre
BTW dont forget those mirrors
Position Mirrors so that you have to turn your head so that they can see you using your Mirrors
Dont forget your Mirrors

That is covered in the LGV TRAINING TIPS sticky - LINK BELOW IN MY SIGNATURE
Hello Every 1, Well i have had an assessment Today for an hour well i had no problems with the gear changing but i was a bit scared of the size of the truck and i have clipped the kurb 2 to 3 times, went to industrial site drove from the first time, it was a shock basically for me lol From suzuki Alto To Direct 18 Ton lol i wasnt nervous i was listening to instructor and checking my mirrors My Instructor was briliant Never shouted Or Moaned Of Anything proper Friendly environment. Well Now i am officially going for it thats for sure will keep u guys updated as i go along.
The Things I have To look out for i think my self , Road Ahead So i can React in good time, and also when i stop not to change gear to neutral before brake.
Does any body know any good video i can watch or so and memorize it and all… although i have only had 1 hour but the size of the vehicle was nerve racking i cutting in like a car when over taking stopped trailers and vehicles.

Ask Paul because differing views could confuse
When I had no idea about gear shifting on HGV’s
these videos was very helpful to me. The first one is
with driver comments with 4 over 4.

Second one 12 gear.

And. Regarding your planning ahead.
When I’ve been working on a bus I had to do training in this one

Congratulations on the pass!
I believe Warrington is a good place to be based as a hgv driver, so when you pass your test, hopefully you should be able to find work quite quickly.
and also when i stop not to change gear to neutral before brake.
Doesn’t matter. Used to but not now. Make sure you don’t go for neutral before the vehicle stops.
Good luck, Pete 
peter what about hand brake when i stop my vehicle do i have to put handbrake on first before i change gear in to neutrel or i can change gear in to neutrel and then i can put hand brake on■■? My instructore told me to foot on brake first then clutch and when it stop hand brake on first and then change gear in to neutrel.
