OK, I'm trundling down to Uxbridge tomorrow to do my silly theory test.

If I fail I'll eat my scooter for dinner. I don't understand how you *can* fail - you ca buy the book with the answers in!!! And the silly hazard perception test thing is just dumb. When I did it for my car licence I thought I must have failed but I actually passed by lots.

So, I'm digging a bit of a hole for myself I realise, but I'm feeling confident...just off now to pass a happy evening with the answer book (and hopefully a quick game of squash) Very Happy

Hohohoho

Right... well if its so easy, do an 8th of skunk and a gram of speed before you do it...

That should make it more ahem.. intriguing.

First time i did it i did it pretty stoned, didnt do that badly but missed it by a few points. Was worried about getting collared for cheating by the silly system. Next time i mashed the screen at anything that looked dodgy. Passed piss easily.

Yes, I think that's the main way you fail the hazard thingy - as long as you click anything and everything that might be a hazard you're fine (i.e. my approach "Oh no!!! A seagull. Click click click click click click!!!) As long as you avoid going over the 15 clicks-or-so limit, but don't not click when you see something, you pass.

Well done mate! Very Happy Thumbs Up

I am SOOOO pleased I did mine when the theory test wasn't required if you had a full car licence - and I'm SOOOO pleased I did my car test before the stupid-ass theory test was invented!!

Good luck with the next bit!!
