In the same boat as you mate. I think you just need to make sure you get the 50 question version so 07/08 ones.

I'm looking at the driving test success one which i think includes motorbikes

There is a question on emmisions in the UK generated by traffic.

FFS. How is that going to make me safe?

There is also one about how fast a mobility scooter can go :rollseyes: why do I need to know that? I already know its not going to beat me off the line and it doesn't even go on the fecking road!

Actually, they can use the road - and at 8mph if memory serves.

I just done mine the other day, i got the disc in morrisons for £5.99 its got everything you need on it

Beware of third party software. The questions and videos are their interpretations of similar stuff you'll get in the theory test. Driving Test Success has the actual official DSA questions and videos.

Most libraries will have the official theory test question bank book - no need to pay money unless you're late back with it.

Why everyone feels the need to use a PC CD package to study a few multiple-guess questions is a bit baffling to me, but that's new technology for you.

Have you done the new theory test? I'm especially talking about the hazard perception? Theres a definate technique to it!

Why? because to fail costs you £30,

the questions are fairly straight forward and pretty much common sense its the hazard perception that is a .

Yep - sat the new-style theory test late last year, after using books for revision. The hazard perception was a bit strange, but actually favours those with little or no road experience. I missed a few marks by spotting hazards far before the time window you are given.

CBT booked for tomorrow, hoping (like many others) to get DAS out of the way before the new testing system comes into force at the end of the summer.

Whatever you use to revise, best of luck with the tests!

I think alot of the libraries have the dvd roms too that you can just borrow but i'm not a member of a library.

Do you have to pay to join one??

No, but you usually have to live or work in the area. You might have to pay a token fee to borrow the DVDs, that was certainly the case when I was a member of a library as a kid and borrowed audio cassettes from them.

Wifey takes her DAS next Wednesday and has just received a DVD "Great Roads, Great Rides" in post from Highways Agency -presume as she still has learner licence.
Although possibly nothing on it specific to Learners it makes half decent watching & has some other useful bits on it including "Scene of Accident" type tips with links to BMF & others.

I reckon it's worth seeing anything you can if new-ish to bikes.

Highways Agency web site looked worth a view too for route planning with delays/roadworks (allegedly) updated within minutes.
