MAN ProfiDrive trainer Franz Schnitzbauer puts you to the test! 0 to 5 points: We admit our questions weren’t exactly easy, but if you want to be a really good driver, you have to know this stuff. How about attending a ProfiDrive training course? That way you can acquire the knowledge you need while also fulfilling your obligations with regard to the Driver CPC Directive, which requires drivers to complete 35 hours of training every five years. 5 to 15 points: Not bad, but you still need to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. The law states that you have to prove you have completed five sevenhour days of training by 2014. An ideal excuse to take a ProfiDrive training course and brush up on your knowledge! 15 to 25 points: Congratulations! Your score puts you up there with the pros. You’re not just an ace at the wheel, you know the theory too. However, the law does not take existing knowledge into account and requires all drivers to complete five seven-hour days of additional training by 2014. But let’s face it, nobody’s perfect and there’s probably still something you could learn from a ProfiDrive trainer.
