LGV Driver CPC - What's Involved?

LGV Driver CPC

The LGV Driver CPC came into force for lorry drivers in September 2009. CPC stands for Driver Certificate of Professional Competence. LGV drivers already driving professionally were given something known as 'acquired rights'. This simply means that their previous experience was valued and they did not need to gain all 4 parts of the Driver CPC initial qualification. However, exisiting HGV drivers need to pass 35 hours of periodic training by 9 September 2014.

Becoming an LGV Driver

If you want to become a lorry driver, and drive an LGV professionally, it is likely you will need to pass all 4 parts of the Driver CPC initial qualification. There are some instances when you do not need to obtain the LGV Driver CPC. For example, you will not need this if:

• the LGV you are driving has a pre-booked appointment at an official testing centre
• the LGV you are driving is not allowed to exceed 45 km/h

LGV Driver CPC Module 2 Driving Theory

Module 2 of the LGV Driver CPC Initial Qualification is a case studies theory test. This theory test builds upon the HGV theory test and is designed to put the theory you have learnt into real-life, practical situations. In the LGV CPC Module 2 theory test, you will be tested on the following areas:

• Optimising Fuel Consumption
• Vehicle Loading Safety Rules
• The Social Environment Of Road Transport
• The Regulations Governing Carriage of Goods
• The Risks of the Road and Accidents at Work
• The Importance of Physical and Mental Ability
• The Ability To Assess Emergency Situations
• Adopting Behaviour To Enhance Your Company's Image
• The Environment and Organisation of Road Haulage

You can get your LGV Driver CPC Module 2 Theory Test material from Driving Theory 4 All. Driving Theory 4 All provides learning material based on the DVSA (the people who set the tests) syllabus and 61 practice case studies.

Earlier Driving Tests

I want an Earlier Driving Test!

Imagine the scenario: You've just failed your practical driving test because of one silly mistake, you go to book online and the next available test is 10 weeks away! You have several options:

1. Wait the 10 weeks - that means that you will need to pay for more driving lessons to make sure you don't get rusty and out of practice which, even if you only do an hour a week, is likely to cost around £220 in total.
2. Keep refreshing the booking page - i.e. sit at a computer waiting for an earlier driving test date to appear. This can take you hours with no guarantee of success.
3. Pay someone else to look - this method can save you both and time money!

Pass Plus - Why Everyone Should Do It!

The Pass Plus scheme was developed by the Department of Transport in 1999 with a view to improve driver skill and to teach them to drive more safely. A study published in May 2008 revealed that only 18% of new drivers participated in the Pass Plus scheme in the first year of becoming a new driver. Here we will discuss why Pass Plus should be considered as a necessity once you have passed your practical driving test.

Insurance Premium Savings

In some cases participation in the Pass Plus Scheme can reduce your car insurance premium for the first year after passing your practical test. However, given that the scheme can cost in excess of £100 you should look at quotes with and without Pass Plus to see whether the saving matches or exceeds the cost of doing the course. This should be straight forward if you are using one or more comparison websites to obtain a quote.

Local Council Grants

Depending on where you live, it may be possible to reduce the cost of doing Pass Plus by obtaining a grant from your local council. The government maintains a list of councils that offer discounts on their website. In some cases we have seen, the local council have offered grants of £80 to offset some of the cost of the scheme!

Non-Monetary Value

Of course, insurance companies wouldn't offer reduced premiums and local councils wouldn't foot some of the bill if they didn't think the extra training was worthwhile. So you've looked at insurance and spoken to your local council and they are offering no financial incentive, "why should I bother with Pass Plus?" I hear you ask!

The answer is simple: In 2013 there were 183,670 reported casualties in road accidents, 21,657 of which involved serious injuries and 1,713 were fatal (source). Additionally, a paper compiled by the DSA in 2008 shows that 1 in 5 new qualified drivers have some kind of accident within six months of passing their test.

The road is a dangerous place to be and any extra experience and knowledge you can gain is of great importance to both you and those around you.
