When i had my CBT the instructor said that gaining road awareness is half the battle so if you already drive a car your half way there and can concentrate on the finer points of riding.
On my CBT there was a 16 year old chav in trackies and trainers, eye brow pierced and about 3 ear rings in his ear who ran 2 red lights and couldn't tell the instructor what a "no entry" sign was!!!! I was a bit dismayed to find he still got certfied to ride scooters eek!

This is the exact reason I do not want my younger brother going for his CBT he is 16 and they pass anyone on a CBT he has no clue about road signs markings and general traffic flow and is asking to be knocked off. he also won't be wearing any protective stuff other than a helmet and a cheap one at that.

Theory test should be done before a CBT.

I totally agree, the theory (however st and how much of a ball ache it is, it does a good job for new drivers learning the basics)

This guy did not have a clue he really didnt and I could not believe what he was doing. He was trying to pull wheelies on his scooter and everything while the instructor was talking to us!!! GRRR i hate chavs and we have so many here in my town

Same over here mate, I get them following me so close I can barely see them in my mirrors they do all sorts of other things wrong cutting corners and such.

I have to say I think the the theory test is very good the hazard perception on the other hand complete bks. It's surprising how many experienced drivers get some theory test questions wrong.

The one theory question i presume I got wrong, presuming as I was not 100% sure like all of the other 49, was "what is the maximum speed of a disabled/mobility scooter?" For the record it is 8mp he he

Yeah the hazard perception is crap can we say "click.....1.....2.....click.....1.....2... etc etc " he he
