blimey! I've just taken the test and passed with 30 out of 35, which is really goodas my driving skill leaves a *lot* to be desired, but then I've been driving for *only* seven years.

I apssed with 32 out of 35.

Didn't know what a Toucan crossing is, got the times wrong for horn use, and misread one of the multi answer ones about trams!

Quite good test of your knowledge though!

Eeek - just scraped a pass with 30/35 .

Luckily I got the important ones right .

Some of the alternatives in the multiple guess are quite scarey - I sincerely hope no-one could possibly have chosen them!.

Rgds,

P.S. Can someone explain why the standard stopping distances are fixed at what they are? I think most people would agree that even a scoob would out-brake an astra with 155 section tyres for example.

33 of 35 not to bad, i was a bit to cautious
on braking distance, only out by 3 metres though. 23 years since taking the test i think us oldies arn't to bad.
i don't think they were using a impreza for
the braking test!!

I'm very ashamed to admit that I only got 28. FAILURE!!!

Are the questions different each time - I didn't get any questions about the horn (ooerr) or the stopping distances.

I failed on the round blue sign with 30 on it (can't remember ever seeing a blue sign on my travels!) Also on increasing the tyre pressures for long term fast motorway driving.

Scored 30

Annoyed I got 2 questions about having small children in the car - I've never had a small child in my car!

Can't believe I got the colour of the road studs between motorway and sliproad wrong!
D'oh!

Just found this. It's a 'mock' theory test on the BSM site.

30/35. Not too bad.

MorayMackenzie

35, but I did have to do a conversion for the braking distance on a calculator, but I know how to work it out in feet, just not in bl**dy meters!

johnfelstead

32/35 not too bad. No questions on deer avoidance though, very strange

Sheridan

31 phew.
I'll admit I was totally stuck on the question about trams right of way

Maxwell Straker

Yikkes!!!!

26..........Officer, where do I hand in my licence????


Stupid Game!!!!!!!

Geezer

Oh dear,
25 out of 35. I'm better than that really.

No honestly, I am.

I just had a bad day...............

Neil Smalley

Just had an American friend of mine try the test(got 22). He questioned why have stopping distances in meters if you are using MPH as a speed measurement. "60 miles per hour stops you in a given number of meters?"

How about our non UK members give it a shot
or point us to a foriegn equivilent?

Sheridan

Yet again I am in Egypt, I would ask one of the chaps here to do it, but there is not an option for 'Beep your horn' on every question so they would only get confused.

blubs

Hmmmmm 28 points.

The questions must be different each time as I didn't get one regarding stopping distances. It stated at the end of the quiz that my questions were amongst the hardest ever given out on the survey.


No...it did.
Really.........

Geezer

blubs,
Just face up to it. You, me and Straker are not fit to be on the road.

richards

Mark, excellent link! Did the test and got 30/35.

millband

Definitly a good link!

Just scraped through with 30 - but I had a question about the arm signal for slowing down....who uses arm signals these days? And which other drivers/pedestrians would have a clue what you were doing?

Nightmare

33...yippe - am not as stupid as previously thought - however am totally unconvinced that Trams are actually silent!
