Well done.

I'm 38 and I passed mine Saturday. It was easier than I thought. The hazard perception part is a joke really, its more just a computer game than any real relevance in the real world.

What scores did you get?

Just an update the scores i got was 45/50 and 61/75 not too shabby

I been riding for a year on a YBR / Varadero quite happy poodling around commuting was going just do restrictive licence to get rid of L plates and take a pillion once in a blue moon before the new rules next jan , not sure im going get a bigger bike but ill have 2 years to think about it. Just seems easier and cheaper than direct..

Maybe get a 250-400cc but still want my 70mpg economy lol

Cheers for gratz

...ahem... I'm quite a bit older than 39, so does that make me a geriatric member on here? I passed my theory test in early July with an almost perfect score (much to my amazement) which just goes to show that you CAN teach old dogs new tricks!!

One of the problems with the hazard perception is that as a long-term driver I was seeing potential hazards before the scoring window opens and clicking then. Once I learned to slow it down a little the score went up.

Apparently for advanced licences (HGV etc.) the scoring window opens a little earlier as they expect the student to read the road better.
