This video honestly is like the video of the guy here in the UK actually filming his car test. I know this isn't a test, but christ is gives so much information to be able to pass a test. Great job!
I passed my cat C today brilliant job you done DD.guess what the same route that you show in the video I drive through on the test day… thank a lot your video guide me a lot. Thanks again
Watching this brings back memories, i passed mine in Army in 2008 and then my class 1 in 2008 straight after. It's a different ball game in these things. I have driven wagon and drag and tankers in central London where allowed and if you can drive there in a HGV1, you can drive anywhere. Best of luck to you mate. Welcome to the club.
I've been watching you from start. Your channel got me into driving. I have my practical test for class 2 rigid in 2 months. This video allays my anxieties before I go for my week of lessons and my test.
I ve just passed cat C today!! This video helped me a lot! Honestly. Thank you soo much Deady for recording and posting this. It literaly changed my life!! Thanks man!
I passed my test just two weeks ago, what will help any new driver get over there nerves is to interact with is instructor become friends and it will make you feel like you been driving them for along time, well done m8 good video
Nice one pal. It becomes second nature after a while. The swing on the tail will always be a judgement call. If you end up with a job and get to drive your own wagon everyday then it really does become second nature just like driving your own car. Well done though mate.
Thanks a lot mate! Tail swings do scare me haha! You can't actually see where it is when you are at a tight junction lol. I'm sure i'll get used to it, i just don't wanna be one of those guys that swing into a car then drag it 4 miles down the road haha!
I was taught not to shuffle the wheel, just no palming with one hand. You can't steer quick enough shuffling in tight situations as I'm sure you've discovered since this video Gaz 😊 Just passed my Class 1 today with only two minors 🙂
Im currently training as class 2 and noticed its so difficult trying to shufle when going around difficult corners/roundabouts, helped me a lot just crossing hands when needed
Just starting my progress to get my licence passed my medical and sent that off. Your videos are really helpful and i can't wait to become an hgv driver.
Looks like the 4 over 4 gearbox with switch - when I first used one I didn't have a scooby doo how to use it, because I learned on a MAN small cab 13 tonner that had this slap left or right for low or high range, which I can't remember how to use now, 10 years later. I passed my class 1 recently ant it's automatics for me!
Been watching your videos a while now, ive got my theory test on 4th July through Red Rose, ive been waiting for 3 months due to cornavirus, ive been non stop studying theory and thanks to these videos ill have a bit more confidence going through the whole procedure, so thankyou for that! great vids
I want to do mine this year or early next too. I’m waiting to get provisional categories added to my existing licence after recently getting my medical done.
@@Deady2012 Stobart have asked me to call them when my licence comes back. Where is the B&M one based mate and do you have a contact number or any details, I would really appreciate it.
Hi great videos you’ve been doing, especially this one . I’ve got my cpc up to date but not been driving for 15 year’s. I’m looking forward in getting back on the road. All I need now is someone to give me that chance. I’ve got class 1 but starting on class 2 to get some experience back . Take care and keep up the good work your doing . 👍
Just started watching your video and i had my medical today and passed and they have sent my licence off. And did a practice run on theory and failed by 1 point lol. But thats why i have the theory book i got for free to study and to pass theory test. GREAT VIDEO Deady 2012
Good vid mate videos like what your doin its encouraging people like myself to go for my hgv license hope to get goin in a few a year or 2 when I can afford to
Thanks Deady these videos are most helpful currently on my 2nd day into class 2 training, 18t wagon carrying IBCs with 2.5t of water. So far only slightly brushed a kerb but reversed into bay 1st time. As others say it's all mirrors and blind spot. Thanks again and fingers crossed I pass 🤞
Hey, have you passed? I’m on my 3rd day and I’m struggling because I have a shit trainer who’s telling me what to do every single step tells me to brake when I’m no where near the next exit or roundabout so I end up doing 10-15mph for good 30 second before I get there so fucking annoying
@@mohammedqasim3657 cancelled my test as my instructor was always on his phone while I was driving and not paying enough attention, would also tell me what lane to get in instead letting me figure out just as I would need to do on a test.
I never leave home without my STRAPON 😂,joking aside I am finding all your vids very helpfull, all the best with your driving mate 👍,I will be joining you soon 🚛🚐🚒
Everytime you stop did your instructor make you look down beside your door to make sure noone was there? By the time I do all the checks there more cars coming round roundabouts etc
Thank mate, Yeah it's with a chesty. I just lifted it up as high as i could lol. That steering wheel drove me daft all week! As did the squeeky bleeding chair haha!
Is this in Stoneclough? What eyesight requirements do you need? My left eye is weak so would like to do driving for a living but I think my eyesight will let me down.
hello mate, I saw you last friday trainig for your class 1, I was trying to pass for class 2, and fail again, Im failing wen i go out, I dont know why, I drove class 1 for 20 years in us, I made deliveries in new york city, and was and instructor in a truck driving school, and here in red rose cant pass, I dont know if I should try to put more money into it, haha , good luck with yours
hi ive been a driver for 0ver 25 years as you know eu rules have governed hours of driving so as im knocking on 50 ish i thought get my digi card n drive summat bigger i used to drive ive sent the form off following what you did and now waiting i only have 7.5t on my license do i have to do anything else apart from go straight to the bigguns as i wanted to start what im licensed for
Wow I felt for you there Deady steering wheel off centre which is a pain especially while trying to indicate and it keeps going off when you put it on also traffic lights might not be your friend but other motorists don’t help the situation as they know your a learner and don’t give a dam about you and you and I know if you don’t fight your way through traffic you’ll be there all day roads are not built for wagons. motorways only lol keep trucking lad😊
Hi mate nice effort in making these videos, can I ask how many hours did you need with red rose and how much was it in total, would really appreciate the info mate thanks
95% of trucks are Auto, you may well get asked to drive a manual from time to time. Even something as simple as a slap stick box is a head feck if you've never driven one haha
Have you got to feed the wheel on hgv lessons and test ? I’m just about to do mine in few weeks. Been driven 17 years don’t even think I will know how to
The training is simple enough, it's a long process though. Over 7 months i think. Once you've passed its just a case of knocking on a lot of doors until someone lets you in haha!
Easy to get into I took 1 week off for class 2 and 1 week of for class 1. Just finding the first job that is the hard part. Experience is needed but how to get it without it 🤣 got my first assesment drive tomorrow in class 1 👍
I’m shitting it! I’m at the theory, hazard perception and cpc module 2 stage, and I can’t pass the cpc for shit! I’ve got 2 days left to revise as much as possible but… nowhere near enough time
This video honestly is like the video of the guy here in the UK actually filming his car test.

Great video! Can't wait to get started with my rigid licence. Just swatting the theory and booking my medical!
Noticed your comment is a year old so I'm curious, did you get your licence?

This is a good insight, I'm looking to do mine early next year. I'm nervous just thinking about lol
Don't be. Just enjoy it haha!
I want to do mine this year or early next too.

Good luck with that mate! It's an awesome career choice!

@@Deady2012 when you're doing the theory test for a truck licence can you do the theory test for both truck & bus & have that on your driving licence?

Wots with the steering wheel shuffle
Passed my class 1 test Friday in atherton mate!!! All round the area in this video, might see you on the road soon 👍🏼👍🏼 Subscribed!

i enjoy this very useful do u need to pass the cpc be for u can get a Digital Tachograph Card frrom the dvla
No mate, apply for your digi card ASAP. It saves the waiting for it at the end.
Thanks for that upload
Everytime you stop did your instructor make you look down beside your door to make sure noone was there? By the time I do all the checks there more cars coming round roundabouts etc
Hi Deedy how many lessons in are you when you did this video?. cheers btw this is very helpful
Great video, is this a chesty with a GoPro?
That squint steering wheel is hard to ignore! 😂
Look forward to seeing more videos 👍
Thank mate, Yeah it's with a chesty. I just lifted it up as high as i could lol.
That steering wheel drove me daft all week! As did the squeeky bleeding chair haha!
This a very inspiring video. Is this articulated lorry?
Is this in Stoneclough? What eyesight requirements do you need? My left eye is weak so would like to do driving for a living but I think my eyesight will let me down.
Hi bro were is the test central?

Aye sucks that mate! Good luck none the less buddy!
Deady 2012 : Thanks mate 🙏

What’s different from a car/van to a hgv in terms of the clutch and gear box etc ?
about 20 minutes in you pass a lot of parked cars on your left. What's the frequency you need to check your nearside mirror in that instance?
hi ive been a driver for 0ver 25 years as you know eu rules have governed hours of driving so as im knocking on 50 ish i thought get my digi card n drive summat bigger i used to drive ive sent the form off following what you did and now waiting i only have 7.5t on my license do i have to do anything else apart from go straight to the bigguns as i wanted to start what im licensed for
When at traffic light and when you put your handbrake on, do we need to put the gear on neutral or can we just leave it on D?
Wow I felt for you there Deady steering wheel off centre which is a pain especially while trying to indicate and it keeps going off when you put it on also traffic lights might not be your friend but other motorists don’t help the situation as they know your a learner and don’t give a dam about you and you and I know if you don’t fight your way through traffic you’ll be there all day roads are not built for wagons.
motorways only lol keep trucking lad😊
Great video pal.
Thanks Mate!
That's the area I passed my bus test.
Great video 👍
Is the tracking out
Nice one mate can see you are a naturally good driver apart from the speeding lol
It's a man I think the Kmph is larger than mph
Hi mate nice effort in making these videos, can I ask how many hours did you need with red rose and how much was it in total, would really appreciate the info mate thanks
Are all class 2 tests done In a manual mate ?
What's people advice on manual or auto just to get through license? I'm starting my course next Friday and have the option.
95% of trucks are Auto, you may well get asked to drive a manual from time to time. Even something as simple as a slap stick box is a head feck if you've never driven one haha
Passed with 3 minors😁
Drayton Bassett Village Club congratts mate! Well in!!
Have you got to feed the wheel on hgv lessons and test ? I’m just about to do mine in few weeks. Been driven 17 years don’t even think I will know how to
They’re not strict on it. But you have to be in full control of the vehicle all the time
I’m guessing you don’t need to double the clutch on modern trucks?
Of course you do. Double clutching makes you look hard as fuck to 20 thousand people.
Seeing petrol for 128 hurts in 2022 :(
Something I have always wanted to do , was it easy to get into ?
The training is simple enough, it's a long process though. Over 7 months i think. Once you've passed its just a case of knocking on a lot of doors until someone lets you in haha!
Deady 2012 might be good to know how many days holiday you took at your current employer!? Or how many you would suggest?
222ultra A lot! Haha! You need about 15 days holiday to probably complete it. I took about 4 month up lol!
Easy to get into I took 1 week off for class 2 and 1 week of for class 1. Just finding the first job that is the hard part. Experience is needed but how to get it without it 🤣 got my first assesment drive tomorrow in class 1 👍

why the speed was higher than the speed limit, 80 reduced to 55 in 55 limited road?!!!!
are all MAN trucks speedos in kmh?
MPH is on the Inside loop. It's like that on all old HGVs. It's only newer ones where MPH is on the big loop.

That steering wheel is off centre that’s why you appear to be having trouble with your indicator Deady but well done
Is your driving instructor paddy mcguinnies
What's with the steering 🤣🤣
saw my old house
Hang on a minute. Did you just drove 80mph on 50mph Road speed limit??
What area are you driving in?

Deady 2012 and you have inspired me to become a lorry driver
Hard to learn? I’m interested in doing class 2 but I’m worried I’ll be shit 😂
Were you doing 80mph in a 50 or am I being silly
Kph

Is this class 1 or class 2
2
Deady. Enjoy watching your videos as informative and funny but youve got to watch Angelica Larsson. All I will say is shes not your usual HGV driver.
Are u getting driving lessons from Fred dibnah🤣🤣
Needs alignment.
I wondered why the centre position is to the right on the wheel.
was you going 80 in a 50 wtf are you doing
Kmh lol
