Its still a lot of info to cram in a short space of time.

Wasn't having a go - just trying to point out the steepness of the learning curve you put yourself up against.

From memory:

Yellow sign with schoolchildren is on a lolipop lady's crossing wand

Stopping distances on ice are upto 10x longer

red circle plus red cross like an x not a + with a blue background means no stopping

third party insurance covers damage to a third party's vehicle or property ONLY


awaits correction
Hmmm it wasn't a lollypop sign, it was a square one that i think i've seen on a bus.

Whoops on the stopping distance... I didn't plan on riding on ice anyway!

Looks like i got the TP question right then.

Yeah fair enough, i was just told so many times that the theory is SO easy to pass i thought that a couple of weeks was more than enough.

Bad luck. Get it re-booked, I'm sure you'll do it next time.

I revised all mine during 2 days whilst I was doing exams in January, but I used a book / a site I found with tests on, on the internet. (If I can fish out the link I'll post it).

Stopping distances it depends how you remember it, I remembered them in a sequencial order.

Nope, you didn't. Third party is somebody else and does not include you.

M - gotta say this, please consider whether you are trying to achieve too much too quick.

I have realised that it's going to take longer than i first thought to do this properly. Hence my thread i made after this one http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=125770
That should be the best option for me

Sorry to hear that mate, sounds like you were very close and should do it next time.

I think the hazard perception bit of the test is ridiculous. It's so subjective it's laughable.

Bad luck, I guess a percentage of people are supposed to fail it. If everybody passed they'd make it even more ridiculous, subjective, random, useless.........because it would be seen as too easy.
