    lol.

    I think it's the hazard perception that gets most people... someone from College did it last week and failed by 1 point on the hazard perception.. but got 35/35 on the questions.

    I've been doing well on hazard perception since yesterday, mainly because i've been concentrating. It just gets so boring that you feel like falling to sleep.

    Yeah I know.

    I click two.. sometimes three times (not fast though), just to make sure I get the point.

    Not CLICK CLICK CLICK.. but like a CLICK, a second or two, CLICK. If you know what I mean..

    I do this just incase I click too early. So basically I click when I first see... then when I get a bit closer, then a bit closer.

    Awww good luck Adrian I hope you found the stuff useful, just remember not to click too soon in the clip and click when you see the hazard and again as the Hazard develops, and the system will register the highest score for that clip.

    I still havent booked my Pratical Retest yet, failed for speeding, I got 7 minors apart from that!

    That's good to know (that you get scored for the highest!).

    Speeding, naughty naughty!

    Good luck with the resit. Once I pass my theory and I get some lessons with an instructor, I'll see how long he thinks I'll need till I can do my practical, I'm hoping before Christmas.. I don't see any reason why not

    I tried the theory test samples online..

    The car theory I failed by 1 point (i've been driving for 18 years).

    The motorbike test I passed by _3_ points (only 2 wrong) and i've _never_ had a motorbike licence.


    So.. i'm gonna do my CBT now

    Hehe I was driving at 35 in a 30 I thought the road was a 40, and from where I pulled out of the junction there were no speed limit signs

    I was surprised I failed for speeding, I thought I'd failed for letting the Car roll back as there were Cars behind me when I stalled it pulling out of a junction, but I only got a minor for that, I was happy with the outcome, the Examiner was fantastic, she said really nice things at my de-brief, came away feeling happy and positive about it all and I did my bestest bay park in the whole wide world which I was chuffed about

    Just remember that the car with the camera in it (Your view) also makes mistakes (Like driving too close) and you need to click for them. I didn't realise that but still passed

    I only just passed my theory, but then I only revised for one night, and had a cracking hangover. Ah well, still passed, just stay cool and make the kind of desision someone writing a book about idealic driving would make.

    Have my practical on the 19th, figers crossed me.
