    Hey Guys,
    I have my rigid driving test on Tuesday. I feel a little nervous but confident enough and hopefully I'll pass. Has anyone got any tips or pointers they could share that can help me out?
    A little under pressure to pass as I've a job secured once i do.

    Cheers guys

    Don't rush your gear changes, drive safely and keep an eye on what's going on around you especially in areas where kids could be messing about, keep eyes on both mirrors during the reverse, no foot on the accelerator aswell during reverese

    Where you doing test?

    Well done! It's a great feeling to pass the truck test(s).
    (I passed my C in 2003 and EC in 2014)

    i did my CE straight after getting C at end of last year. Personally Ive struggled with it especially the reversing part but did my 1st test and the reverse was actually ok but the gear box was fcuked and failed on my gear changes. Learning to reverse a rigid on a busy industrial estate is one thing but an artic was a different level of pressure. I changed driving schools few weeks ago and getting much better grasp and understanding of how and what to do now with the reverse.
