Has anyone every brought this pack, if yes is it any good?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-DSA-Biker-Pack-Theory/dp/0115529411/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1226303846&sr=8-21

I'm looking to buy a theory test and hazard cdrom.

I was looking at the them and then came across the biker pack?

Thanks

Don't think that includes the hazard perception part - comes on a seperate DVD. The DSA theory test CD is really good though. I also got a couple of books that the DSA do - The Learning To Ride book and Riding, The Essential Skills (which is a bit more advanced). They all definitely helped me get through the tests and the more advanced book is a good reference for afterwards too. Recommended. Thumbs Up

I don't know about the other disc that comes with that pack as I've never used it, but I would say get the hazard dvd too because it will definitely help prepare you for the test as in how they expect you do look for things and react etc. It helped me and my other half for our theory tests (cage for her).

I suppose if you're just looking for stuff to pass the theory test, then that other disc wouldn't make much difference, but it might help with your practical test and general riding in the long run. With a lot other road users behaving the way we do, I really believe we need to arm ourselves with every bit of information we can get.

The theory CD is great. It'll give you a breakdown of your mock tests and show where it is you're weak.

It's a great confidence builder as well, when you can sit down in front of it, crack through 10 mock tests and get a pass in every one.

Can't comment on the hazard DVD, but it's almost certainly one of those things that can't hurt. I'm going to be picking one up when I can, seeing as it didn't exist when I took my car theory back in '97.
