Changeover -Should have some driving experience?

[luddite]

he never got past the depot gate, that must have been the shortest change over ever.

If you can get between the gate posts at our place that's a pass
Clip one, no one hurt pass, small risk
Clip both, no medical treatment needed pass, high risk
Ambulance and tow-truck called fail, re-take

Say if you just passed your driving test not long ago, and havent driven since thus no experience on driving on your own - would it be incredebly hard to pass your changeover?

I would have to say that with so little experience that jumping straight into a transit van and try to pass an assessment would be quite hard to do.

From what I heard, he failed as soon as he put in gear and set off, the assessor abandoned the change over, he must have had several false starts and fumbling before actually getting it going, it wouldn't surprise me that he went to the front of the van to hand crank it.

if its your rm driving assesment you cant pass or fail it,, they just give you a risk rating

Guy in our office failed his 7.5 tonne changeover and, according to his examiner, was "dangerous and incompetent"
