Vehicle Weights And Dimensions Practice Questions

Weight and size govern almost everything a large vehicle may do. This module tests plated weights, axle limits, height and width restrictions, bridge strikes and the routes lorries and coaches may use. Expect questions that require reading a plate or sign and knowing exactly which figure applies.

What the DVSA tests here

• Maximum authorised mass, train weight and axle weight limits
• Height markings in the cab and avoiding low bridges and overhead cables
• Width, length and overhang rules for large vehicles

Practising this topic

This section holds 76 practice questions on vehicle weights and dimensions, 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.
