You're a driver who's certified to carry dangerous goods. How long is your certificate valid?
- A One year
- B 2 years
- C 5 years
- D 10 years
Why this is the answer
The operator of a UK-registered vehicle engaged in the carriage of dangerous goods should make sure that the driver has a valid vocational training certificate. These certificates are valid for 5 years.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- One year — A year would mean retraining annually, which the rules do not require.
- B
- 2 years — Two years is not the period set for this certificate.
- D
- 10 years — Ten years is longer than any dangerous-goods certificate runs.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
