Leaving the vehicle
25 questions
What this topic tests
Stopping, parking, getting down from the cab and lifting what you are carrying. A short topic with a great deal of injury behind it — most of these questions are about the moment after the vehicle has stopped.
- Parking brake on before you leave, engine off, every time.
- Mirrors before the door: a cab door opens into a live lane.
- On a busy street the nearside mirror is at head height for somebody on the pavement.
- Get down using a proper set of steps, not by jumping from the platform.
- Lifting: a stable position first, then the load.
