The module 4 test is interactive and you will be expected to explain and demonstrate your answers using a suitable vehicle. The module 4 test will be undertaken at a DSA practical testing centre and should last no more than 30 minutes. You must provide a suitable vehicle for the test. For HGV module 4′s this could be a C1, C or C+E Remember though. The bigger the vehicle the more you will have to check!  \nThe examiner will ask approx 5-6 questions. The questions will be in the form of scenarios which are supposed to reflect real life situations a professional Driver may encounter in his/her working life. The pass mark is 80% overall, however you must attain at least 75% in each section / area. Remember to bring both parts of your licence and your Module 2 pass certificate. In this half hour test you will be required to demonstrate your knowledge and competence in the following (6) sections:  \nSection 1  \nAbility to load a vehicle with due regard for safety rules and proper vehicle use  \nYou must be able to demonstrate: That you understand weight restrictions that contribute to the total weight of a vehicle, and explain what indications you can see that the vehicle may be improperly loaded or overloaded.  \nHow to distribute any load that you intend to carry on your vehicle safely, that it is secured with the correct restraining device/s and will remain stable on the road.  \nTo answer questions on this subject you need to know about the following:  \nWhat the vehicle can legally carry including Gross Vehicle Weights, Train Weights and Axle Weights (found on VTG6, Ministry Plate. ) All vehicle over 3.5 tonnes will have a VTG6 plate and trailers in excess on 1020 Kgs. The VTG plate will be located in the cab.  \nThe importance of correct load distribution ([i.e. you](i.e. you) can overload an axle yet still be within the GVW. ) How to check for vehicle overloading. Check the following: suspension springs, low ride height, clearance between wheel arches and wheels, check for bulges in tyres, check twin wheels (rear), the tyres may be touching at the bottom.  \nForces at work; Centre of gravity A professional Driver must have an understanding of the forces of work affecting commercial vehicles, including:  \nThe vehicle’s centre of gravity (the point through which all its weight acts. ) The centre of gravity should be kept as low as possible, along a line running centrally down the length of the vehicle/load the higher the centre of gravity, the less stable the vehicle and load will be. When loading a vehicle the centre of gravity must be kept as low as possible. The heavier parts of the load on the bottom and the lighter parts on the top  \nForces at work: Momentum: Is the tendency of the vehicle/load to continue in a straight line (if the vehicle stops the load will continue moving forward. ) The higher the speed the greater the momentum.  \nForces at work: Centrifugal force: When the vehicle takes a bend the load will want to keep going ina straight line. If a loaded vehicle takes a bend at too high a speed, the centrifugal force acting on it may cause the load to be unstable and fall from the vehicle. At low speed this will be overcome by the tyres gripping on the road surface.  \nOther forces: High winds can cause problems for high-sided vehicles rain, ice, snow can also affect the stopping distance on icy roads the stopping distance can be increased by up to10 times normal stopping distance the correct use of the","cbCaicjxhbvSdmBy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicjxhbvSdmBy","pdf",114137,"English","# Introduction\n## Test format and requirements\n## Scoring and preparation materials\n# Section 1: Loading a vehicle safely\n## Legal weight limits and vehicle plates\n## Load distribution and visual overloading checks\n## Forces affecting stability\n# Section 1 (continued): Restraining devices and dimensions\n## Restraint types and vehicle clearances","[{\"question\":\"What is the Driver CPC Module 4 practical associated knowledge exam designed to assess?\",\"answer\":\"It confirms that candidates can perform operations other than driving while meeting Driver legal requirements, including explaining and demonstrating answers using a suitable vehicle.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Module 4 test structured, and how long does it take?\",\"answer\":\"The examiner asks about 5–6 scenario-based questions at a DSA practical testing centre.
