Studying the highway code will be an enjoyable and beneficial way of spending your time.

Have you got experience cycling on the roads?

As above, highway code for road signs for the sake of element e.

On my CBT it just got brushed over as we where in a rush and well even if we did cover it in depth it would have been no use as I spent most of my road ride flapping about at the controls attempting to get used to riding a bike.

On the CBT you can get away with just listening to where to examiner wants you to go, in my case it was only a quick ride around a few local roads and some back roads.. there isn't a solo ride.

When you get your own bike (if you get one before doing DAS) then taking the same route to or from work is a good way to learn to look out for road signs and read them in good time alternatively getting out on new roads is a good idea as you can't become complacent and are constantly on alert.

Enjoy CBT.

You really only need to know the real basics to 'pass' your CBT. Far less than you should probably know to safely use the roads.

If you know which way to look at a junction, and who has right of way on a roundabout, you'll have no issue with your CBT.

Don't read too much into if, its designed to be absorbable by the type of 16 year old that you often see trying to kill
themselves on noisy obnoxious mopeds riding along in a peaked MX helmet with the soles of their trainers
rubbing on the floor. If a txt spkin ned cn do it den u shud do gud nah worriez m8.

Assuming you haven't really used the road before then (no cycling, assuming no driving) then start to actually watch what happens when you are a passenger in a car. Look ahead up the road, see how vehicles are moving around, indications that something is about to happen (brake lights coming on, cars up the road moving out to the right suggesting a cyclist or something else in the road), how vehicles interact at junctions and roundabouts, what advance notice signs are giving you (chevrons indicating tight bends etc.).

It's all a bit of a dance, and if you're the one out of step you'll get problems rather than a safe, smooth ride.

But remember that the point of CBT is to give you enough basic training to be safe on the road. If you end up doing another day you are getting more training to help you be safer - it doesn't make you a "failure".
