Good show, I'll warn you though, the wait is a killer!

Out of curisoity, what did you think of the theory and hazard perception?

[FeatherZ]

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.

well done and good luck

Does anyone have any of the kit that i said on the first post? how do you rate it? i mainly bought all this kit due to price i cant afford 800 quid for a decent brands leathers, again there boots are so much cheaper than the rest, my helmet was 150 pound but down to 100, its a FG-14

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!

Got mine two weeks today, hope i find it as easy!!

The wait is already killing me, cant decide whether to tempt fate and book the DAS before i have passed it!!!

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.
