Minibus D1
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 6:11 pm
Hi, I did training for this over 3 years ago, but sadly I never completed it has I took 2 attempts and failed twice, first one was 1 stupid thing. Anyway thats gone now so moving on.
Im wanting to have another attempt at it has its something i really want to do.
I already work on the transport department on the council and although I can drive the smaller vehicles without D1, I think they really want me to have it so its more flexible for them.
Now I can remember what mistakes my majors were and 1 of them was driving on when there was parking either side, and I continued going up the hill with traffic coming down.
And the other I got into a tangle has I got in the wrong lane on a busy roundabout up here, and in trying to get in right lane made a mess!
So ive since learned that there is a 10 minute independent driving, where you follow directions or road signs.
Now ive read for a car test if you take a wrong turn but do it safely you wont get penalised, is this the same for bus tests? Also can you talk to yourself during the test has ive read a lot of people do this on car tests, and is allowed and really makes you think through your directions.?
Im really hoping, knowing where i went wrong and I wont take risks no more since and passenger driving vehicles require more safety than your car.
I want to pass this time, ive been working very hard at improving my standard and its something i really want to do. And no i dont need to do the CPC tests has im working for the council, or 1 day possibly ambulance transport it comes under section 19 so im not required to apparently.
So if anyone here done this recently id love to hear, and sorry for a long essay lol!
