Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Just got back in and I flew through my test only got five minors. My instructor said it was "f*****g excellent" ... the examiner is one of the strictest, and apparantly people do very good to pass with about 9 minors Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pied piper 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 i got it paid for when i was on JSA I think its about £700 though how did you get JSA to pay for it? as when i went they said they wouldnt pay so iv got to pay out of my own pocket HI all first time ive written on this forum normally i like to just sit and read through the articles and there is some really good stuff on here to read ive learnt a lot from this site but I thought it was relevant that i made a coment . 12 months ago I closed down my HGV/LGV training business after 20yrs as an instructor, and started a small part time Pest control business Not from scratch I'd been carrying out pest control for local land owners for about 10yrs so pest management is not new to me and i feel i still have a hell of a lot to learn hence why Im always scouting through this forum any way thats enough about me back to the LGV test 75% of people who fail thier test wether it be car/motorcycle or HGV fail in the last 5 to or10 minutes of the test this is due to them relaxing because they Know that they are returning to the test centre my advice to you would be dont relax until that examiner as told you to park up and switch of the engine, and you've all heard the rumour that they only pass so many in a day its a load of bollocks you only pass the test if your good enough and theres no shame in failing that test because its not an easy test these days. as for getting your tuition paid for, pester the job centre every time you sign on because there is money available for retraining but only after you've been on the rock and roll for about 12months . But once you have passed, its as your man said earlier wellcome to a life of stress wrong address on paper work, early starts late finish and transport managers who want blood from a stone, thats why i havent touched a lorry in 12 months . Good luck to the chap who is taking his test at the end of May. and all the best to you all. p p Quote Link to post Share on other sites
