In this brief guide you will learn lots about what is not a good idea on day of theory based on persinal experience...

Step 1: Wake up on time - dont turn you alarm off and realise your going to be late for college!

Step 2: Find you paper part of your licence at least the night before and not when you are about to leave your house and relise Sh*t!! and you having to search for about 1/2 hour to find it! (almost gave up)

Step 3: Related to step 1 but turning up to college late is not a good idea as they think you have slept in.

Step 4: Leave college in good time for test and not make it a race to get there on time!

Step 5: When you get to the centre make sure it isnt a day that their busser doesnt work and you are locked out!! about 15 mins i waited and when i got up there (shop assistant from next door put code in) they said "there was a tin of paint holding it open" the tin of paint was there just on the other side of the door so it had closed!

Anyways i passed today!!second time lucky even though everything else went wrong i got 35/35 (100%!! Very Happy ) and 51/75. off to book my practical now!!

Do you have to be 17 to take your theory?

Well done young man. And good luck with the next bit.

What kind of questions do they ask in the theory test.
I passed my test before they had a theory part, I am just curious.

i two tests, first is 35 general questions, a good example is:
"leaving the choke on will cause"
Arrow increase engine wear
"if someone is on a zebra crossing you should"
Arrow prepare to slow down and wait
"someone is following you closly, what should you do?"
Arrow increase gap in front of out

they alwasy have 4 questions and tick one right one. however some have say 6 answers but 3 are right

second section is hazard perception where you click when you see a hazard that makes you move/slow etc. bit pointless imo but ah well!

hope that sumed it up for you!

strange, it's always been de-crease your speed if someone is following to close nehind you not increase the gap Neutral has it changed to leave him in your dust if you have a big enough engine?

yea sorry thats what i ment, decrease you speed so there a bigger gap so they can overtake, i guess thats the reason, cant think of any other reason why you should make the gap bigger!

Sorry!lol

Take your theory test in Kingston? Exactly the same thing happened to me, though they didn't use the paint can excuse! In fact, I ended up late because of it. At least I dont feel like so much of a fool now!

Congratulations on the pass! Very Happy

So, how do we increase the gap in front ? Oh, I know, we decrease our speed, don't we?

They're the same answers, just described differently Rolling Eyes

Or, maybe it's just in case, when you check the traffic further back in your mirrors (and, of course, we're checking our mirrors all the time, aren't we ?) you notice some arsehole two cars back about to shunt the car directly behind you, you have an 'escape route gap' in front of you which you can accelerate into in order to avoid being shunted from behind yourself.

Make sense ?

Hope so.
