i took it with three other guys, only one of us failed

1. he put his foot down before bringing the bike to a stop in a quiet road, not the emergency stop

2. he dropped the bike into the middle of the road when getting off at the pavement

i had a comment made to me at the end of the test, but minor point, boils down to confidence and common sense at the end of day, i think

Yeh you were all right, piece of absolute piss! I did get bored so rushed the hazard perception abit

I was asked 50 questions, relating to accidents, weather conditions, road conditions amongst a load of other shite.

Then moved onto 14 clips of hazard perception.

Took 25 minutes if I remember rightly.

I think 47 on the theory... and I think mid 60's on the hazard perception.

It was so boring though, hard to stop gazing around the room

I dunno if its the same as a few years ago, 50 mulitple choice q's and hazard perception? Its pretty straight forward as long as you do the mock hazard perception tests to get familiar with the process. I founbd myself reacting too quick to regsiter so did a couple of clicks to be sure i nailed it. For the multiple chpice q's, just get the book with all the q's in to test yourself and you cant go wrong.

passed me car , failed my bike by two questions ,


going to redo it again , want to get my bike licence properly sorted for next year,




biggest advice, is stay relaxed and read the questions !!

i think i didnt actually read some of them properly and they play with the wording to ask you the same question two diffrent ways
