Revision question · Essential documents

You've been asked to drive a fully loaded petrol tanker back to the depot. It has a maximum authorised mass of 10 tonnes. What must you have before you can drive this vehicle?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

A request from the police to move a dangerous load

A fully qualified tanker driver with you for the journey

A valid ADR driver training certificate

A copy of the vehicle's insurance certificate

Show the answer

A valid ADR driver training certificateThis was the right answer

A full petrol tanker requires a valid ADR card with the appropriate dangerous-goods and tank qualification, alongside the correct driving entitlement. ADR qualifications last five years and require refresher training and exams. Current card enquiries are handled by Qualifications Scotland, not DVLA.
