Environmental Issues Practice Questions
About This Topic
This module tests economical and considerate driving of a large vehicle: fuel-efficient techniques, cutting engine idling, noise near homes at night, spillages, and the case for well-planned routes and correctly inflated tyres. Fleet-style questions about reducing emissions are common, and several answers turn on knowing which single change saves the most fuel.
What the DVSA tests here

Practising this topic
There are 70 questions on environmental issues in this practice bank, and every answer comes with an explanation so you can learn from your mistakes as you go. The LGV and PCV multiple-choice exam runs to 100 questions with a pass mark of 85, drawing on every module in the vocational syllabus. A good rule of thumb is to keep practising a topic until you clear it comfortably several times in a row.
In the run-up to test day
Professional drivers usually revise around shifts, which makes short, focused sessions the practical choice: a module like this one can be reviewed in fifteen minutes at the start or end of a working day. Treat exact figures — weights, hours, pressures and speed limits — as facts to memorise rather than rules of thumb, because the exam tests them precisely. Once the module feels secure, fold it into 100-question mock papers so your accuracy holds across the full hour and fifty-five minutes of the real test.
