"Car Theory Test"

Had me first attempt today. Got there and the first questions were beauties like "what does this sign mean etc" But then came the stupid ones e.g. You are towing a caravan - how do you make it safe - What the hell was that? I probably will never tow a caravan in my life! I got 23 out of 35 for that part cos some of the questions were real bad.

The hazard perception part pi*sed me off. I was hitting them left, right and centre e.g driving along and saw kids playing football by the side of the road - Already assumed the ball would come in the road and kid would follow - Bang button pressed - N E way firing them off real quick and I seemed to have a good eye for them - 30 out of 75 with pass mark of 42.

then i went out and the bloke goes - "oh you failed both parts so you have to book another one for £18 again. Better luck next time" God I just wanted to nut him

So my point is I felt the theory test was a pile of poo and am furious. I have another one booked for thursay 24th July but this time I will revise although I was absolutely furious

I never took a theory test, but then I did take my test 13 years ago!

Jade Goody? That Celebrity Driving School was a joke! I passed my theory test with 35/35 but I took it a month before the hazard perception test came in.

Wow! No offence mate, but I've never heard someone fail their theory, and I'm an instructor! Waa haa haaaaa!!!!!

But then you said that you diddnt revise, so it's your own doing - theres mock tests on the net, i've got a cdrom that has the actual questions on it, and it's an official DSA product. It's not hard....

Better luck next time though...

Maybe a bit harsh. But I say it to everyone. So don't feel singled out!
