The Driver Practice Questions
About This Topic
This module looks at the person behind the wheel: professional attitude, health and eyesight rules, alcohol, drugs and medicines, tiredness on long shifts, and behaviour around vulnerable road users. It is the vocational counterpart of the attitude and alertness topics in the car test.
What the DVSA tests here
- Health, eyesight and medical requirements for vocational drivers
- Managing fatigue, stress and distraction on long journeys
- Setting a professional example around cyclists, pedestrians and other drivers
Practising this topic
You can work through 102 questions covering the driver, with an explanation after every answer to reinforce the rule being tested. 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. Once your score settles above the pass threshold, move on to a timed mock test to check the topic holds up under exam pressure.
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.
