Gutted for you mate. Took me a few times to pass. It's wrong you have to pay the same price for a resit.

No offence, but if you failed the theory test, maybe you need to do some more work before you get behind the wheel by yourself. It's pretty basic stuff!

Not really. Some of the questions are worded wrong. And some are confusing to what is actually asking.....

I remember one I seen in our driver training department. It had a picture of a single carraigeway road with a solid line on the left and solid line in the middle with a broken white line next to it.

The question asked what the solid line was for. The 2 options out of the 4 it could have been were, No overtaking, Do not cross.

Which line is it reffering to ? nearside or centre? I answered no overtaking, which you can't on my side but can oncoming because of the broken line and was marked wrong.

Lucky it was just a muck about or I could have failed because of that.



Luckily I did'nt have to take a test when I done mine but I did pass first time on all my tests

there's no excuse for failing really, you can buy a book with every single question and answer in it and do as many practice goes online as you like.

Tbh the tests need to be harder due to the fact my wife found this question posted on the net

Why do people put there lights on when driving in the rain? and why do moterbikes have there lights on during the day surely it wastes the battery?

Btw it was posted by a WOMAN!!!!dumb bint
