To become a PCV driver you must possess a high degree of skill in
the handling of your vehicle and also be prepared to make allowances for
the behaviour of others.
The right attitude and approach to your driving, together with a
sound knowledge of professional driving techniques and the ability to
apply those techniques, are essential. You will be required to
undertake a medical examination to comply with the higher medical
regulations that this licence category requires which we can arrange for
you. Once you have had your medical you will need to apply for your
provisional vocational licence.
Once your licence has been approved and returned to you, your
theory test can be arranged, the theory test is made up of two parts;
the multiple-choice part and the hazard perception part. The multiple
choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and mouse and the
hazard perception part records your responses through the use of a
computer mouse button.
You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. If you pass
one part and fail the other you will fail the test, and you will need to
retake the part that you failed. The questions in each multiple
choice test vary according to the category of vehicle you are hoping to
obtain a licence for. Theory test will contain specific questions that
do not appear in any other test.
For the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for
different vehicles, each vehicle category takes the same test, however
the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.
