passed mine yestaday second attempt, failed first time as clicked one or two times a clip in hazard perception, you can click about 6-7 a clip so click when you see a hazard, then again when its really obvious and sometimes a 3rd time. would of passed first time if i ahd done this i think

Click click click click click

Just go fairly nuts in HP, whenever you see it develop in any way shape or form. I did this and got 59/75 (44 pass)

The multiple is very easy, common sense.

Theory, HP, load of old boring twaddle.
My eyes froze at the entire dullness of it.

Just swot up on EVERY page of your highway code..read it daily for a week.
Do a HP practice disc every day for a week (the practice is harder than the 'real life' IMHO)

The theory is just common sense..really.
HP..just act as if you were on the bike. Things you would look out for. A dog on the pavement..click. It wanders onto the kerb..click.
Kids walking near the road edge...click.
Common sense again.
It usually involves people coming out of shops and crossing in front of you, horses, kids with footballs, bicycles, buses and parked cars.
After all the clips your eyes hurt ! Mr. Green Neutral
Tis true..if you click too much on one clip you get ZERO points for it. Just click at the first sign of a hazard, again if something further happens, and then again if the danger becomes really bad.

Good luck. I am sure you will be fine Karma

I have my theory for my car test in 3 weeks time...grr Evil or Very Mad

The car is effectively the same, is it not?

If not, it is easier, I passed it with flying colours, having read half the theory book.

If you want a theory test book for the car test I'll send it out to you if you send me a couple of quid for postage, it's a big thick thing. Thumbs Up

Not everyone's the same - FACT.

It ain't 'twaddle' and it ain't 'dull'. It's based on everyone's personal interpretation of 'real world' situations.

Have respect Wink

Yes, it is more-or-less the same. I just detest the monotony of having to sit through it all again. I only sat through it a few months ago for the bike Crying or Very sad
I already have all the discs, books and crud, thanks anyway Thumbs Up Karma xxx

Sorry Sir...I shall re-phrase.
IMHO, because I have one, the theory test is twaddle and my eyes freeze at the dullness of the HP and it all.

Ressssspeck !!
