Fran seems an amazing instructor Please send my regards to her these are the sort of instructors you need and welldone Haley 👍💯

Good luck for your test! I have every ounce of faith in you and know you can do it...as always, your vlogs are an absolute pleasure. Go get em 👊 x

Well done, good luck tomorrow every confidence in you x👍

Hi Hayley, thanks for the tour and good luck in all your endeavors. Previously you showed us how to take a wide swing in the corners and I can see how you are applying those skills here - priceless!! Your driving skills are great and you make it appear like a walk over.

Well done Hayley. Good luck for tomorrow. Your cool under pressure which is a good thing. Great video as always 👍🏽💪🏾

Good luck tomorrow Hayley we are rooting for you that was a nice relaxing drive well done 👍 👏

Well done Hayley, good luck for the test, fingers and toes crossed for you :)

For anyone looking to take HGV Class1 this is the vlog to see. I haven't seen any others that follow a complete mock test. I was very impressed by the levels of concentration by Hayley and Frances on the job in hand. No unnecessary chit-chat. Both focused on their respective roles. I thought it was quite a smooth drive throughout, and yet, there were borderline issues that might have come down to the mood of the examiner on the day. That can be tough to take! I thought Fran's analysis at the end was really quite forensic. I'd dread to have her as an examiner when I do my training!😟 However, what this vlog does far beyond any others I've seen is how really focused you have to be to get through the course. No wonder there's such a shortage of HGV drivers!

Hayley, that was a lovely drive, gear box work seems natural compared to day. All the best for the test. You put your self under public scrutiny, and you Aced the test. You come across as an excellent competent driver and Kays must see that. Credit where its due its down to you you worked for this pass. Hayley! good luck for tomorrow! enjoy the test .

Good Luck Hayley! You can do it!

Looked like a great drive. After what the instructor was saying about the reversing and test centre, I am glad I chose who I did to train me as they were also the test centre so I got chance to get used to the actual place I would be doing the reverse. Good luck for your test 👍🏼🤞👍🏼

You have got it nailed Hayley,just take it as the boss is coming to the next job with you tomorrow. 🤙🏻

I think you're driving was top notch 👌 well done. I've been a class 1 for 45 years . Good on you girl. Good luck on your test 👍🌹

This is great. Really helpful. Thanks.

This was so helpful 👍

Great video keep up with the good work so much information 🙂

All the best!

Good Luck on your Test Hayley

Good luck Hayley you’ve got this.

Best of luck with your class one Driving test 👍 Hayley.

You'll smash it tomorrow. Full confidence.

All the best on your test Hayley. I'm sure you're going to fly though it.

She is real nice ( instructor ) God bless her ❤️‍🔥

That was a good drive and I will definitely be rewatching this vlog before my test just as a reminder! Hope everything went well today and no white BMW'S with impatient driver!

Yes Hayley your a brilliant driver it shows

Good luck for tomorrow. Trucker Jenko will be proud of you if pass

I wouldn't have minded having Fran as my instructor but don't think she was born when I was learning! Can't wait for tomorrow's update. 🤞

Best Of Luck for tomorrow Go for it...xxxx

Nice shots of Wolverhampton, home of MENSA. Well done Hayley, and brilliant instruction from Fran. Hope you passed today (Thursday) 🎉🎉 Best regards from the Black Country. John.

It was nice of them to get so involved with your filming.

I'm not a hgv driver as yet but i think you did exceptionally well and I think you will smash it tomoz you defo got them gears down to a tee good luck with your test tomoz can't wait to hear result I'm well looking forward to me doing class 2 next week

The very very best of luck fingers crossed for you

Good luck on your test tomorrow 🤞

You're a good driver. Relax, breathe and all will be fine. Best of luck and may the idiots on the road be out your way. 🍀

Good luck Hayley just remember the examiner doesn't want to fail you so do what you did today and it will be a positive outcome

The very best of luck to you for the test Hayley. Just whisper to yourself that I passed and you have to be a far better student than I was. My instructor was having a breakdown watching me trying to get the hang of it. He even said how many Class 1 jobs are out there where you only have to go forwards haha. Even the other student said if I passed and he failed he would beat me up lol. You can clearly do it so it's just a case of controlling your nerves on the day. I'd put money on it your pass and do really well. All the best x

Good luck for tomorrow Hayley. I have every confidence you will nail it. Hope all White BMW's keep out of your way. 😂🚛🌪️

Here I am, a bit over a year since this video went live, rewatching this one Hayley. I finally started C+E training yesterday. The test centre begin with the reversing exercise on the yard. I will then be asessed on it before going out on the open road tomorrow morning. I am comfortable going forwards and reversing, providing I am backing up at a slow pace to allow me plenty of time to correct any errors. I think I may have trouble remembering Brake Legs Air (suzies) Clip Kingpin and what the trailer checks are .. brake, mot cert, body, reflective strip, side markers, mud guards, spray supression, tyre condition, wheel nuts, rear body, rear doors, rear light clusters, rear marker lights, number plate (probably won't be on it yet), then same again down the other side as the opposite side, suzies, legs, the round thing .. There is a chance I m going to miss something. I'll have to keep this prcedure going round in my head all night I am so glad you made this video and that I can come beck to watch it, so thank you for sharing it

You'll do fine on your test, as the main issues are road awareness. You have all that Class 2 experience to give you confidence on the road with other road users and their annoying habits/inconsiderate driving. Good luck with your test 👍

First good luck tomorrow. I think you drove a blinder today well done go get em girl.

good luck you can do it nice drive.

Having watched all these vlog's , my only criticism's would be your use of mirror's at times, or lack thereof. And the failure to sometimes adequately check your blind spot. Which is something I struggled with myself . To give myself the best chance of passing, I resolved to check my mirrors before any action and to keep checking them during any manoeuvre. Which is easier said than done after years of driving my own way. Having said that, I thought the rest of your driving was excellent and I would be very surprised if you don't pass. All the best for tomorrow 🤞.

Support Hayley.

Had my test today after only 4 lessons 14 hours training, passed first time on the artic with only 5 minors, well in. Having watch your video where you stated you failed and now watching this I can definitely say you can pass, it all comes down to nerves. I was shitting bricks in the morning, however after the coupling and uncoupling I just thought to myself fuck it, if I fail I fail, just do my best, and I think that’s the best attitude to have when going on a test like that. At the end of the day the examiners know your going to be nervous they’re used to it, don’t be afraid to ask them a question about the directions or to confirm your going the right direction. Also they’re human, they’re there to asses if you can drive safely and to a high standard, if you freeze for a second but then fix your mistake before it’s too late they will fully understand, they deal with it on daily basis. Also I’ll admit, I had to use one shunt on the reverse, like my instructor said if you feel like you might hit a cone, done be a cunt and take a shunt. My route went from Weedon Bec test centre all the way to Northampton city centre, down the a43, a45, all the way down to the m1 and back to Weedon Bec.

top tip when turning left or right we use to call it the can opener ok you will never forget t hat what she said

my instructor told me "You'll probably get Dave as your examiner, he's a big mirror man, so use your mirrors as much as you can. Also, try and relax, drive like you think you've already failed, just take him for a nice comfy drive through the countryside and you'll be fine" Let us all know asap....

Reminds me a bit of my motorbike test, I was told the examiner is probably gonna take you to a windy national speed limit road and he's gonna want to have a little bit of fun there so don't go too slow.

I'm not an examiner, but in my opinion this was a sound drive. Reversing was bang on too compared to day 1. Bring a pack of biscuits for the examiner and get them talking about themselves and they will feel extremely comfortable. My question that kept them talking was "what made you decide to become an examiner".. oh the waffles that came pouring out .. beats driving in silence and gives em sommat else to focus on, their favourite subject, themselves Best of luck .. don't think you'll need it though .. think of that new shiny wagon you have waiting for you

Just a quick note before moving off near side mirror / both mirrors But your excellent driver and brilliant instructors from both I’ve seen I’m thinking of going into instruction but obviously a bit apprehensive

@@TruckDriverHayley Perhaps you can tell her on camera so we can all see her reaction. Best of luck with the retest Hayley. Just do a running commentary in your head of the seqence of actions you’re going to carry out as you do the couple and uncouple. Don’t rush it and double check your next action. Same with the driving, just do a running commentary in your head, especially with all the pull up safes, so you get the right sequence of mirrors, signal, hand brake off etc. Just talk your way through the drive in your head like a police commentary. Hopefully it helps and keeps you focussed during the drive.

Funny It looked like you were in the drivers seat And passenger seat giving yourself instructions,some might say you were being tested by your sister..LOL
