Hiya Mark hows you and the family.All well i hope.
I'm gonna keep plugging away at it and not make the same mistake next time as i did on Friday.It was a stupid mistake and forgot about the shunting i could do.
Good to see you back here again anyway and say hi to the mrs for us

Not sure when the rules changed Ric but we was told this week your only allowed the 2 shunts to make sure you can get through the cones and into the load bay.Had to look in n/s mirror at least 5 times for the cone manouvre then at least 5 times again in the n/s mirror for the load bay manouvre.I'll see if i can find out when the rules changed

i tell what i knew as soon as i pulled the lorry into the start position that i was gonna have trouble and there was no way out of it.
I had to park the lorry front between 2 cones but keep it tight to the left in order to be able to put on full lock and reverse between 2 cones without going out side the lines.If you don't park right to start with you are buggared and thats what happened to me.What made it worse is that i forgot i was allowed to shunt the lorry back and forth twice to allow to line up right in order to do the manouver properly

sorry to hear that you failed Rich better luck next time.
When did they change thr rules about shunting? when I did my LGV ( back when gods dog was a pup) you could shunt as many times as you like.

just had a phone call and i will be looking at next week or the week after for my retest

[pops]

Mr

O Stormy
now you learn from it and go do it again RIGHT?

[che2318]

thats the one.But i never got close enough to the n/s front cone to allow for the steering to go on full lock to enable the lorry to miss the rear n/s cone.I had been doing it perfect the rest of the week in dry weather and today it was raining which isn't an excuse really

i was lucky enough to have the army train me so we had ample time to do it, near the end of the training i was racing my instructor at it, bets being a brew and bacon sandwich, i was always a few seconds out.

you will be fine next time. do you have another date booked in?
