Oh, it is that time again? I guess it has been 5 years since the last one was laughed off.

Why do you think this one will be taken any more seriously?

Flogging a dead horse springs to mind...

Merging the theory tests would make more sense. There's little need for one for both a bike and car theory test as it stands.

What about Rainpal?

Can we have a petition for it?

Maybe it would go away for a while then.

I think riders and drivers could both benefit from some shared questions. Perhaps things like "Why does a car stop faster than a motorcycle" culd be thought-provokingly useful.

When I was sorting the dreaded 'B' licence in the summer, by instructor, and ex-rider was convinced motorcycles stopped faster than cars. Of course the twat had never had to find out how quickly his pre-abs bikes stopped and considered doing so a bit risky. I pointed him at some informative youtubes. It's quite scary how fast a car with brake assist stops if you stand on the anchors. And it's not like it's new tech, my 2004 pov-spec Polo appears to have it.

As someone who took a car theory test last year, I'm sure one of the hazard perception clips either in practice or the test was of a motorbike pulling out of a side street. Ergo, motorcycle awareness is part of the test as far as DVLA are concerned.
