    What is the DFFT?

    I agree- this was the only test I failed on during my assessment and the real test was a bit more complex than the practice material, from memory we only had 20 minutes to compete this test.

    Northern Hull trainee driver

    Was this the job for Arriva? If so I too got rejected. Although I was applying from Coventry (which isn't within the stipulated 1 hour catchment area).
