Found them very easy, you can learn every theory question in one days revision on the computer, and hazard perception is common sence really you just click a mouse, it does its purpose i suppose in teaching drivers the rules of the road.

Yeah I found it stupidly easy, thank god you can finish it quickly.

Was a bit shocked by the two teenage girla in tears outside who'd both failed (presumably car) for the second time, mind you probably best they're kept off the road in that case!

To be honest as an experienced driver you won't have many problems on the majority of questions whether bike or general - go through the Highway code and re-familiarise yourself with that as a lot has been added to that and it's huge now - it already has details of signage for when hard shoulders can be used during congestion for instance. Then read through something for the bikes specific stuff, final set of questions are the environmental ones, but if you eat a bowl of lentils on the day you'll ace those!

Hazard is a little more difficult for those of us who have been driving for a while, as I found it's possible to flag a hazard before the five second window of oppurtunity (thus scoring no point!), so you end up trying to save the situation by clicking again just to be sure - thankfully your best click counts.
