Nah but got a one that claims to use all the official questions as well as hazard perception clips etc. Was about a fiver from Morrison's and seems to be just the job.

So far pretty much common sense and schoolboy roadcraft for an "experienced driver" but been caught out on one or two I don't mind admitting.

If it gets me through five quid well flippin spent !

I am surprised at the amount of current questions around Trams however. . . Bizzare

I've never done a theory test at all, I've helped a few through the practical test in the past, but generally left them to their DVD's and stuff themselves, just out of curiosity I've just done a mock bike test online and got 50/50 and found it relatively easy.

Best of luck for friday.

Cheers Mark

No trust me it isn't me being too trigger happy, it's me noticing the most horrendously obvious hazards and perhaps not clicking at the right time whatever that is supposed to be. For loads of the hazards, it was obvious which one it would be before if had even happened.

The hazard perception is fairly limited in my view, and doesn't really challenge people enough as they're all easy.

Afterall, I passed my hazard perception first time round for car theory as a teenager, and flopped it after 6 years of driving under my belt when I went to do the motorcycle test.

I noticed the hazzard too early as will you.

It's near enough common sense tbh...for my car one I forgot I had it booked (as it was booked for me as a present), so basically turned up with no revision and still only got 1 or 2 wrong. The bike theory was near enough the same with a few "bikey" questions thrown into the mix.

Dunno what I was worried about ;o)

DSA catagorised question bank on the disk was 100% spot on. Hazard perception was more a case of knowing how the test works as opposed to hazard perception. Could have done with a bit more practice on the test videos but walked it regardless.

Real lessons start on Thursday . . . . just need me some decent protective troosers and I am ready to go !
