Driving theory test

I think it was 30 from 35 when I did mine which was roughly when they first came out, my younger cousin failed it twice when I got there with 5 mins to go it was full of young kids swatting away and panicking, I think I was around 33 at the time and felt well out of place. I did it in 11 minutes and the chap said would I like to check it and make sure I had missed nothing out, I had already done that. It was a total insult to your intelligence, all I did was revise stopping distances the night before as I admit I didn't have a clue about them. There was not one single question on stopping distances.

my lad failed today he got 42/50

if you fsil that test you should not be allowed to go out alone

jaysus huggy just see your post no offence meant but...........

some people just flap at exams despite knowing their stuff. A mate of mine at school was quite bright and all he wanted to do was go in the Royal Navy, but he couldn't get past the entrance exam despite having 6 "O" levels and their test being a doddle.

all the best drivers past their test 5th time

My son's a plank... passed it first time in January..

Is it still in two parts with the perception video ?

Recommend Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' - to 'tips'

'all the best drivers past their test 5th time' - that's a grand old saying to make them feel better.

works

lol.. my bruv. passed his at the seventh attempt aged about 27!
40 years later and I still wouldn't wish anyone to be on the same road at the same time - Terry Fying!

both of our older kids have done the test in the last 3 months, both passed first time, neither did anything other than use a cd i got from amazon and a quick flick through the h'code,

the youngest told me after she had past that she'd done the cd 3 times and spent about an hour reading a few pages of the book, i suspect she's a good guesser

*passed sry before facts comes along

gotta really put a stop to people passing their test at the "26th time".

If aunty dora is wondering why terry never visits her...is because she lives out sticks and Terry can't fecking drive.

I knew a bloke in 1977 who had been a fork lift truck driver for years on a large site of a civil engineering firm in Bedfordshire. This was on the standdard 2,000kg truck, and a truck that could pick up 18 tons. Picking up and moving steel around that was 6 metres long, and stacking 40' portakabins 3 high.

I was there for about 10 months and never saw him hit anything, run over amything, drop anything or hurt anybody, which for a fork lift driver back then was pretty good going as everybody used to jump on and try to drive them.

I saw him in St. Neots town centre a few years later. He was unemployed.

When the tests came in he lost his job. It never came to light until then that he couldn't read or write.

Some people are 'naturals' at driving, but a hell of a lot aren't.

Quite so!

I was driving around on a Cat teleloader with 40ft shipping containers years before I did my car test, great fun when you hit a pot hole

when our boss decided we should all be tested he had to hire one of those f@rting little trucks that ran off a gas bottle, the instructor would not get in any of ours as he said they were death traps

That bloke in Bedfordhire stacked portacabins 3 high on the last day before the xmas break, when there was hardly any working going on.

What he didn't know (and it wasn't his job to check) was that one member of the welding shop got drunk at dinner time and was sleeping it off in one of the ones on top of the one on the ground. Nobody knew if was the 2nd or 3rd one up, but he walked out of it still half pissed and broke a leg in the fall.

he has passed

I am so chuffed for him, now the hard part the driving test.
He goes back to Australia on the 24th August, looking to pass before then.

Us of the 'older generation' never had this theory test.

I looked at it online last year, and thought 'How hard can it be?'

I did their mock test version and iirc, I got 47. I told Mrs CMAT and she said to try it again.

So I did, then I realised there are more than 50 questions on the site, and each test is a random 50. I got 45 the 2nd time.   

The next day I did it again and failed with 41.

apparently there is a bank of over 900 questions, the test is a random 50

In that case they should put up the whole 900 and set a fair pass mark.

I think in school you get a G.C.S.E. with about 50% correct for any exam.
