Telephone theory test

[pen4uk]

Hi everyone, Can anybody give me any pointers. I have a Telephone theory test (Highway code) I will mainly be driving a Mercedes Sprinter. Has anybody else had a similar test? If yes any pointers what questions I'm like to have?
Any help would be gratefully received.

Sorry, I've held a full licence for 41 years. needs must at the moment. So I'm looking for anything so thought a delivery job is better than nothing.
And part of the process in the interview is this phone test.

Sorry, I can’t help but I wish you well. Well done for getting out there.

from how I normally see them driven; its right foot flat to the mat with the mobile held up to the ear.

I guess they will ask things like what speed can a van do on a dual carriageways. Cars are 70 vans 60. All you can do is revise the Highway Code I guess

Just look up the law in relation to using a mobile phone while driving.
Look into how hands free gear is used.

 

[Bodd]

Know the dimensions of the van if you can.

Stopping distances, thinking distances etc. what about rain and snow
give me examples of when you can overtake on solid white lines
speed limit where there are street lights and no speed limit signs.
mimim tread depths for tyres
parking at night rules
what do zig zags mean
what would a sign giving an order look like
what would a sign prohibiting something look like

Thought you could drive them on a car licence?

Depends on whether it is the higher capacity version and when you first gained your licence.

Do you have to do this theory test hands-free?

More like Parcel Farce.

Driver's probably just arrived in the country and the ink isn't dry on his licence. He'll get the hang of it. Explains a lot about the state of some of the parcels I've received over the years.

Good luck to the OP.
