Jolly Theory

[GLove]

Hey, my Theory is booked for October 3rd and so far I've done no revision what so ever; am I screwed? I've got 'The Driving Success' DVD, and these 2 websites to revise: https://www.all4bikers.com/theory/
https://www.driving-test-success.com/haz001/haz001.htm
Also I have a 2004 Highway Code hand-me-down book

peace

Found the hazard perception app on the iPhone useful

Download the Highway CODE theory PDF file, ( below )

https://www.justcoachdrivers.com/pdf/TheHighwayCode.pdf

Get revising for the hazard perception you need a disc or to look up the videos they have on the Direct Gov Website,

also if you go on the App store you can find " Hazard perception " app's.

Good Luck Hope You Pass

All the best

Matt

The high way code was updated last in 2007,
You have nearly an hour for the 50 questions so just over a min a question, some of them you will only need a small amount of that time giving you longer for questions that you are not so sure about. Just remember to read the question properly and if your not sure you can leave it and at the end go back. remember the right answer is there in front of you on the screen.
with the hazard perception try not to click too much as it thinks you are cheating and marks you at 0 for that clip. just look out for anything that would cause you to brake or change direction for example kids playing football near the road the ball gets kicked in to the road. the hazard(for the test) is when the ball is seen to be coming on to the road not when you see the kids first playing with the ball. most experienced riders/drivers would notice the kids near the road and expect the ball to come out into the road
good luck with the test.

Should probably say I am also a trained driving instructor and this is the same advice i have given to my student's in the past.

One evening of swotting should see you through, surely?

To be totally honest, 90% of the theory test is common sense. You could possibly pass having never set eyes on a highway code. BUT a little preparation can't hurt.

I failed me theory by one question a couple of weeks ago. I didn't revise because I had aced the test in online mock tests. If I had just spent the previous evening flicking through the highway code I probably would have passed. I was most concerned about the hazard perception but that turned out to be easy enough.

So yeah swot up the night before but don't worry about it after all its just money.

[gaffa]

You'll be fine,

I only used the two websites in your OP and passed with a couple of night revision before the test.

Good luck

Cheers

[GLove]

BAAASTARRDSS!! 1 mark, short 1 mark on the multiple choice questions ahh! lol
Oh well I'll rebook that then and do more revision then one night next time; I'm just worried now about getting my 'restricted licence' before Jan directive comes along now; I can do it though!
take care

[GLove]

next one booked for 18th Oct
I really hope I'm not running out of time real fast here

[Flatbadger]

Do those practise questions on the DVD until you know them all, it helped me a lot. Sorry about the 1 mark business - salt in the wound!

hahah I wanna keep my kidney man

And ye this bump with the Theory has served as a lesson to me, I really want this and will definitely knuckle down on researching etc. on my modules, thanks for the insight though

[U_W v2.0]

just go find somewhere quiet, practice your u-turns and e-stops.

those are the only 2 things most people really need to practice for.

on the module 1 u turn you can do it 2 ways.

life saver > pull away > roll down the "bay" > lifesaver > start the turn

lifesaver > pull away > roll down the "bay" > stop > lifesaver > start the turn

thats from the examiner himself!

i will say though, even though the bay is pleanty wide enough i personally feel it should be a bit longer in length to get a little more speed.

or just be uber fast with your second lifesaver.

either way, for a newbie rider (not sure how long you've been riding?) its definatly worth practicing with the mod 1 course layout and dimensions. if you have no experience, also practice your figure of 8.

figure of 8 you can go quite wide (but not stupidly wide) so dont think of the 8 as a forward line, more of a sideways line as you can go wider than you can long.


oh!

module 1 bend speed runs!

when you go for the speed runs around the bend, cut across the course at as steep angle as possible so you have more time to line the bike up before you enter the bend. this will make getting the line around the bend easier and let you get a bit more speed going around it.


i think thats solid advice. even though i've failed it 3 times, i've completed the speed runs on 2 seperate tests (didnt bother doing them on the 3rd attempt)

if anything i put is wrong, someone will correct it.
