Red is hard shoulders, Green is slip roads, White between lanes and Amber is the central reservation
Overall stopping distance at 30 = 23 metres / 75 feet
At 50 = 53 Metres / 175 feet
At 70 = 96 Metres / 315 feet
Toucan crossing is the one that allow bikes to cross.
Good luck, remember to click half a second after you spot the hazard aswell incase the computer hasn't registered it!

Well, if it is 95% common sense and you only need 75% to pass you'll be fine.
One question I had, though, left something to the interpretation. It was along the lines of turning right on to a road with a small central reservation, what to do?
Two answers could have worked:
1. Cross to the centre when clear on the first carriageway and wait
2. Wait for both carriageways were clear
The key is in the word small. It it is, clearly a relative term. I decided to go for which would be viewed as the safest so took the latter, which was correct.
Not a good place for ambiguous questions, IMHO, unless both answers were accepted as correct. ____________________ 22PlusY

"Small central reservation" means that your car cannot fit fully in the reservation gap, so it will protrude forwards and/or backwards, and therefore it will partly be in one or the other (or both) lanes of the carriageway, hence = blocking the road.
So, you should wait until both sides of the road are clear before crossing/turning right.
I believe this question was originally phrased "the central reservation is too small for your car", which makes it a bit more obvious. ____________________ First bike: CBF125, Feb. - Oct. 2012

They should've left well alone. Ambiguity has no place in a test environment.  ____________________ 22PlusY

Oh well never mind. Same thing happened to me but using a phone app for a couple of days before my second test worked well for me.
Chin up and plug on. It could have been worse there was a guy turned up five minutes late for his test when I had just finished mine and they wouldent let him sit his test. Poor guy was gutted he was onviously so hyped up as well.
Remember we all make mistakes, as the Dalek said climbing off the dustbin!  |
