Question

You park overnight on a road with a 40 mph speed limit. You should

Mark one answer

a) park facing the traffic
b) park with sidelights on
c) park with dipped headlights on
d) park near a street light

The answer (IMO) is stupid! It's b), if you leave your sidelights on overnight, when you get up in the morning, you have a dead battery, where is the intelligence in that?!

(e) park *with* the traffic flow, as much off the road as possible, under a street light.

Yes. A very stupid question - and if I was on my bike, it NEVER gets left on the road unless tucked away from harm.

true, but you have to beable to repeat what it ways in the book or you dont get the license.
I argued over a first aid question on my test, .. ok, still managed to get 99% right, but it depends on what school of training you follow.

Q2. When parking on a 40mph two-way road at night you should park on the:

a - right with sidelights on
b - left with no lights on
c - left with sidelights on
d - right with dipped headlights on.

Found this after asking Jeeves and the answer there was d.

Agree with the dipped lights flat battery though,isnt that wghy reflectors are incorpriatted in the the rear lights.

Do any bikes have parking, or hazard for that matter, lights these days?

Slightly off topic, but what bike are you planning to get when you pass your test tvraddict?

The General Concensus from PH Land was a CBR600.

Obviously, being only 20 I will need to have it restricted . However, In Sep I'm 21 and I don't, so I may do all the boring shit (Theory Test, CBT.) now while the weather is poor (what am I talking about? It's Scotland, the weather is always poor ), and then wait til after Sep for the test.

Edited to add - Waiting would also give me plenty of time to save the wages after LM.

If the CBR6 is 6/11ths as good as my CBR11 then you can't go wrong!
