A huge congratulations to Annabel on successfully passing her Category CE 3b test at our Tewkesbury Training Centre — and with an excellent drive too! This is a fantastic achievement and a big step forward in her professional HGV journey.

The CE 3b test is the final practical assessment for drivers aiming to earn their Category CE (Class 1) licence, allowing them to drive articulated lorries and tractor-trailer combinations. Passing this test confirms that Annabel has demonstrated the required competence, road awareness, and vehicle handling skills — and we couldn’t be more pleased for her.


🚛 What Does the CE 3b Test Involve?

The CE 3b test is an on-road driving assessment carried out by a DVSA examiner and is the final stage in the HGV qualification process. During the test, drivers are assessed on:

  • Vehicle control and road positioning

  • Use of mirrors and signals

  • Anticipation of hazards and safe decision-making

  • Independent driving and route planning

  • Awareness of other road users and surroundings

To pass, candidates must make no serious or dangerous faults, and 12 or fewer driver faults in total. Annabel showed outstanding control and composure throughout — a testament to her commitment and the quality of training she received.
