Restricted View Practice Questions
About This Topic
Large vehicles have large blind spots, and this module maps them: areas hidden from the mirrors, close-proximity dangers in front of the cab, reversing without a clear view and the role of mirrors, cameras and a signaller. Cyclists and pedestrians appear in nearly every scenario.
What the DVSA tests here
- What each class of mirror covers and the blind spots that remain
- Reversing safely with signallers, cameras and audible warnings
- Protecting cyclists and pedestrians at junctions and in slow traffic
Practising this topic
This section holds 38 practice questions on restricted view, each followed by a clear explanation of the right answer. 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. Revisit your wrong answers a day or two later — spaced repetition works far better than answering the same questions back to back.
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.
