Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 I passed my test officially first AND second time. FACT. I think I would pass, but as above mentions, would incur a few 'minor points'
Al de Man Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 I often "practise" driving back home from Bursledon Tesco within the speed limit but only after midnight so as not to p*ss off every other road user, so know I can do that. I imagine I'd fail on observations though.
Jillyanne Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 Fail, probably on Highway Code questions alone.
Hatch Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 Fail, probably due to being over the limit, or swearing at Micra drivers
Ponty Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 I'd pass, but only because I'm aware of everything I do wrong and I'd correct it for the test. If I was tested without my knowledge I'd probably fail.
Pip87 Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 I think i'd pass - i passed very well originally and haven't done an awful lot of driving since so I can remember a lot of the stupid 'driving test rules'. But as Ponty said - if it was done without my knowledge i'm not so sure. Some news programme did do a few tests recently on people who've been driving for a while and all but one failed (the person doing the news piece). The main thing they failed on was observation - checking mirrors and pulling out of junctions when there wasn't really enough time.
saint francis Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 (edited) It was an "observation" gag Ponty. Clearly wasted. Fail. Edited 3 September, 2008 by saint francis
Ponty Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 It was an "observation" gag Ponty. Clearly wasted. Fail. That was a hell of a stretch. You might as well have posted it on another forum.
SaintKenny Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 Haven't taken it yet, probably fail it if I did take it though, cause I have only had 2 lessons
Weston Super Saint Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 Fail - probably for driving too slow and annoying so many other drivers.
Poshie72 Posted 3 September, 2008 Posted 3 September, 2008 Fail. Driving too fast, too close to the person in front, braking late. and thats just according to the bf
lee_saint Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 Haven't taken it yet, probably fail it if I did take it though, cause I have only had 2 lessons And you wanted an Audi A4.....
Hatch Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 Go on then. What the **** is a toucan or puffing crossing. Surely thats made up. I can honestly say I have never heard of them
St Landrew Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 If I re-took it unprepared I'd fail. I'd pass if I studied beforehand.
saint_stevo Posted 4 September, 2008 Author Posted 4 September, 2008 What the **** is a toucan or puffing crossing. Surely thats made up. I can honestly say I have never heard of them Two-can cross
Ponty Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 24/35 erm... back to school for me. What are these various zoo-themed crossings? Also I panicked a bit because of the time constraint when asked about stopping distances, etc., because I learnt them all in yards and suddenly the oh so familiar numbers were gone.
Weston Super Saint Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 Got 5 wrong answers and it said I failed with 28/35
Deano6 Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 26, but I'd defo have passed with a little revision and learning the numerical ones. Got 34 in my real test.
CabbageFace Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 Its the hazard awareness thing that is mental! I failed with a whooping 6/35. lol
Patrick Bateman Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 ****, I got 24/35! Surprised at that, haha! I'd fail anyway ... like Al said, sometimes when I'm bored I try to drive "properly". I can't feed the steering wheel at all. It's too slow and I almost crash ...
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 I surprised myself by passing the theory, 30/35. I've had my licence for 28 years and I thought I'd forgotten everything in the Highway Code.
Poshie72 Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 24/35 not bad after 19 years. Makes the 3 questions I had to answer on the highway code seem easy
Al de Man Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 I just passed with 30/35 and thought I did sh*t. It was all the towing of caravans and pedestrian crossing questions that got me and since neither concerns me whilst I'm driving other than being "inconveniences" I can't say I'm overly bothered.
Al de Man Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 Got 5 wrong answers and it said I failed with 28/35 Did you complete the ones which had more than one answer?
Hatch Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 Did you complete the ones which had more than one answer? That's what caught me out. I got 24/35. The only ones I got wrong were the ones about Flamingo crossings and White Argentinain Snow Leopard crossings.
Draino76 Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 18/35 All the ones I got wrong were irrelenant, IMO. Like the motorway speed limit and giving way to pedestrians.
Al de Man Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 18/35 All the ones I got wrong were irrelenant, IMO. Like the motorway speed limit and giving way to pedestrians. Absolutely. Where are the questions about maximising your aceleration away from the lights and car stereo etiquette?
Guest Hacienda Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 23. I'd fail now. Far too many bad habits. Have you tried that feed the wheel routine? I'd crash.
Pip87 Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 27. There are some odd questions that weren't there when I did mine. Makes me feel old :-(
TopGun Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 Not bothered with that test. I know I'd pass. I remember driving how to pass a driving test like it was yesterday. And I'm sure the theory would be a piece of ****, just visualise the distances in the main.
mack rill Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 i could pass the bad habits test no bother;)
