Hi. Im having my driving assessment in November and Im a bit worried about it. I just obtained my c licence through the TA. It was an 8 tonne lorry with 8 gears and I passed 1st time with 10 minors. I borrowed the combi van from Ta for about an hr and I found I was driving it like a lorry cornering too wide. I also attempted to parallel park it as Im not sure if this is no the test. I ddi manage it eventually but you need a big space adn I had to put full locks on. Does anyone know if this is no the test? My only other main concern is that I am not from London but from Bristol and have never driven in London! Is Fullham difficult to drive in? Do you think this will make it harder for me to pass? If I fail will I be given another chance or is it a one shot only thing? For those of you in the earlier stages of the application process do not worry. The assessment center was really easy, just brush up on your basic maths. The dictation has been replaced with a verbal reasoning test. There was a test on LAS procedures which which were to do with infection control and they send you the material you need to learn. There was also a test on the highway code and map reading, only basic map reading though using street maps. There was also a lift with a 55kg dummy in a wheel chair. I found this difficult at the time because I weighed 50kgs and was having physio on my wrist still. The interview was also good, they ask quite a lot of questions but the two guys interviewing me put me at ease right away and I actually enjoyed it. They will tell you you only ahve 6 weeks from the date of the interview to get your c1 licence but this isnt actually true just make sure you show you are working towards it and update them at each stage but obviosuly get it done asap, I think it took me 7 or 8 weeks.
