Q1. What is the maximum authorised mass (MAM) range covered by category C1 entitlement?

A. Over 3.5 tonnes up to and including 7.5 tonnes
B. Over 3.5 tonnes up to and including 3,500kg
C. Over 7.5 tonnes up to and including 12 tonnes
D. Over 2 tonnes up to and including 3.5 tonnes

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Over 3.5 tonnes up to and including 7.5 tonnes

C1 covers goods vehicles with a MAM of more than 3.5 tonnes up to and including 7.5 tonnes. Vehicles at or below 3.5 tonnes fall under a standard category B car licence, not C1.

Q2. A driver loads a van so that most of the weight is at the rear, well behind the rear axle. What is the most likely handling problem this causes?

A. The steering becomes heavier at low speed only
B. Reduced weight on the front (steering) axle, causing lighter, less precise steering and reduced grip
C. The vehicle will automatically be limited to 40 mph by law
D. The parking brake will no longer hold the vehicle on a hill

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Reduced weight on the front (steering) axle, causing lighter, less precise steering and reduced grip

Loading too far back transfers weight away from the front axle, reducing steering control and front-tyre grip, which is dangerous especially in braking or cornering. It does not trigger a legal speed limit or disable the parking brake.

Q3. During a daily check, a driver finds one rear brake noticeably hotter than the others after a short drive. What does this most likely indicate?

A. A binding or partially applied brake on that wheel
B. Normal wear from correct brake balance
C. The tyre pressure is too high on that wheel
D. The wheel bearing has been recently greased

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. A binding or partially applied brake on that wheel

A brake that is unusually hot compared to the others suggests it is binding or not fully releasing, which can cause excessive wear, reduced fuel economy and a pulling effect. This is not normal balance, and it is unrelated to tyre pressure or bearing grease.
