I did my Driving Theory test today and I passed - yay!! Very pleased, was totally crapping myself going in but glad its over!.
There was 50 multiple choice questions including a few case studies (but i dont think there was any point in them because they might as well have just presented them as normal multiple choice questions and you wouldnt have noticed any difference)
Then there was 14 clips for the hazard awareness part. Was a bit crap at this although i passed it. Its basically just clips pretending you are driving a car and you have to click the mouse when you see a hazard.
It took about an hour i would say to do the whole thing.
Now just have to do my practical lol!!

Thanks guys!
Oh BD, that sucks failing by 1 point!!
I just need to practice everything i think. Hill starts are deadly but once you get the hang of them its not too bad, am getting over my fear of roundabouts now haha!
BD did you know they are introducing a new ting into the practical where you have to memorise a route and drive it - DI says this is to show you can read signs etc.

BD did you know they are introducing a new ting into the practical where you have to memorise a route and drive it - DI says this is to show you can read signs etc. Oh dear, the test routes round here are fairly complex in terms of where you are going(according to DI) I actually love driving though and my DI says 98% of my driving is test standard and I don't need to worry about my practical. |

Well done Flea. And Mosh how did you do?
I failed my driving test (the driven part) first time round, passed second time. I have to say I think it was the most nerve wracking exam I have ever taken (sorry Flea!)

Lesson went really well! learning in diesel car now instead of a petrol and i don't like the fact i was moving before i even put the accelerator down DI said my steering is very good and my braking is good, slow and controlled and is impressed that I know gear changes (nothing to do with driving rainbows car down the farm track ) All in all it was good!! Love driving and want to drive everywhere |
