No - the driver cpc does NOT cover the actual driving of the trucks - stupid aint it as that is the main function that a truck driver does !!!!
How this basically works - for more in depth stuff just ask me
Driver cpc (INITIAL) for those doing their first LGV test has a bit more stuff in it along with 2 new tests
Driver cpc (PERIODIC) for those who have passed their test is mainly ATTENDING a classroom session on this or that for 7 hours at a time but there are NO tests to determine whether a driver has taken it in or not !!!!!!

Umm . . . so you know - or should be able to guess - that a lorry is likely to move out, but you still approach much faster?
Perhaps you need to re-think your driving . . .
