A huge congratulations to Arslan, who has passed his CE 3b driving test at our Birmingham Training Centre with just 2 driving faults.

This is an excellent result and a testament to Arslan’s hard work, focus and commitment throughout his HGV driver training. Passing with only two faults shows a high standard of control, awareness and professionalism behind the wheel — exactly the qualities needed for safe and confident HGV driving.

Training for a career on the road

For many learners, gaining an HGV licence is an important step towards a new career, a better role, or greater opportunities within logistics, transport and commercial driving. The CE licence is especially valuable, as it allows drivers to operate articulated lorries and larger vehicle combinations used across the haulage industry.

At our Birmingham Training Centre, learners like Arslan benefit from practical, hands-on instruction in real vehicles, supported by experienced trainers who understand what it takes to prepare candidates for test day and for professional driving beyond it.

What is the CE 3b test?

The CE 3b test is the on-road driving element of the HGV practical test. It assesses whether a candidate can drive safely and competently in real traffic conditions while handling a large goods vehicle.

During the test, candidates are expected to demonstrate:

  • Safe vehicle control
  • Good road positioning
  • Effective use of mirrors
  • Awareness of other road users
  • Smooth braking and gear use
  • Confident handling of junctions, roundabouts and lane changes
  • Safe decision-making in everyday driving situations

Arslan’s result, with just two driving faults, shows a calm and capable performance under test conditions.
