Quite shocked that the former is suggested, TBH.
Fair point - id been driving for 15 years before doing my bike theory so I'd like to think I know what I need to.

I get a bit annoyed at the idea of failing a test because I don't remember the exact tread depths when there are indicators on the tyres to check instead. A LOT of the test is not actually driving/ riding related too.

If you failed by 1 mark & you got the question asking what % greenhouse gasses are produced by motorists do you thnk that is a fair guide to whether someone should be on the road?

A lot of the test is about regurgitating snippets of, well, b*llocks. Like any test.

For example, what in hell is use in knowing verbatim the stopping distance of an antique car?

See also remembering what the completely arbitrary National Speed Limits are.

Oh, and it's Wensleydale with cranberries (from our local farm shop - it's yummy)

I think it's standard known questions that they use on the theory. Don't bother with the highway code just keep doing the practises you can do online (& I used a phone app too). Loads of the exact same example questions came up for me which makes it a hell of a lot easier. Keep doing those & you'll be fine.
Well with muller&dairy crest down the road from me why not

anyway, thoery test is booked tomorrow (hope i get no stupid questions)
il surely try and find that app
