This video instructs on how to conduct a basic LGV walk round check in order to demonstrate how it would be conducted to an examiner. This video is to be used whilst studying for the Module 4 Driver CPC test.
Thanks for making these videos. I scraped a pass in my mod 4 today... it was quite tricky. I found I was doing the daily walk-round check then got confused and started checking for illegals! There's a lot to remember, so don't hurry. If you're not fully answering the question the examiner (mine did!) will probably ask "Is there anything else...?" Phew. I think at the end of the day they are looking for signs you're a competent person who is taking it seriously, and understand in the stress of the exam some minor checklist items may be forgotten. Good luck, folks! And again BIG THANKS to ETT for putting these videos together. Without you I wouldn't be starting my new job next week!
When I done my PCV he asked anything else during a question and I went through a mental check list out loud. I said no I can't think of anything else so thought I'd failed. I got 100% and so asked why he said that, he smiled as he was pulling my pisser. Anyhow I have to go through it all again in 2 weeks for my hgv
Hi, unfortunately with the technological advances of vehicles these days, oil and coolant level checks, whilst still necessary are required far less frequently.
I was taught that too, especially if you are in a different truck every day because you don't know when it was last checked. Engines are expensive, checking oil is free.
Actually you got in the cab wrong I think. You should throw your paperwork onto the driver's seat, climb up, then with both feet and one hand holding you throw the paperwork/clipboard onto the centre console, then get in the driver's seat I reckon.
You are not required to demonstrate anything to do with the Tacho on your Mod 4 test. The only thing you may want to mention is that you would check that it is calibrated by checking the calibration plate in the cab.
