About the hgv / lgv (categories c, c+e) practical
A DVSA HGV practical lasts about 90 minutes for Category C (rigid up to 32 tonnes) or C+E (artic). It opens with a vehicle safety inspection (the "show me, tell me" plus a five-minute exterior walk-around), a controlled-stop possibility, a reversing exercise on the centre pad, and an extended on-road drive at typical commercial speeds. Mirror discipline, gear management on hills, and blind-spot checks at junctions are the most heavily weighted observation areas.

What is the difference between Category C and C+E?
Category C covers rigid lorries up to 32 tonnes. Category C+E adds the ability to tow a trailer over 750 kg, i.e. articulated lorries. Most professional drivers progress C then C+E.
