New Theory Test

As some of you may know, the DSA has introduced a new theory test which now
has 50 questions instead of 35. You have to get 43 correct answers to gain a
pass.

The new test isn't online yet but how many of you would pass the old 35
question test?

Don't forget next October will see the introduction of the new 2 part
Motorcycle practical test.

Passed it with 34 out of 35. Failed on the 'breakdown in a tunnel'
question. How many bikes have hazard warning flashers, anyway? Bloody
silly.

 

In

35 / 35 ... .pats hazard warnings on almost all my bikes for the last 17
years or so

 

TOG@toil,, wibbled:

33/35 - never had a bike with indicators - daft question - I also
thought the min tread depth was more that 1mm

 

35/35.

And while we're at it, 63/75 on the hazard perception. Would have done
better but the software decided that I was cheating on one of the
videos, and gave me a nice fat zero.

I still managed to have a motorcycle / grass verge interface issue
(AKA coming off) recently, so I s'pose it's all academic...

I agree but the hazard warning lights seemed to be the safest answer. 35/35

We are preparing now for the new practical test.

 

On mopeds it's just visible tread over 75% of the tyre's radius.

 

When I did both my car and bike tests I found a couple of questions
that had more than one logical answer, so I just thought "how would a
safety nazi answer this?" and got full marks on both tests.

For one, I hope the new test weeds out the idiots without needing
questions like:

"What is the right hand lane used for on a Motorway:

A) Normal driving
B) Overtaking
C) Speeding
D) Turning right"

 

I know at least one motorway that has an exit on the RHS, so (b) and (d) are
both possible and (a) and (c) are the same thing, so I'm going got (e) all
of the above

Where's that then?

Now think like you're a Brake! "charity" hand-wringer to get your
answer. Works every time.

 

I agree, some of the question are a bit strange.

In the new practical test there is a swerving manoeuvre.

My latest acquisition has hazards....

It's ok, I'm going now.

 

I've decided to ignore your advice and completely forget it.

My bike only has the one.

 

Yet you still married her.

 

Got two 'wrong'. I shouldn't give way to pedestrians waiting to cross
on a flashing amber at a pelican crossing, and I don't need to change
tyres at 1.6mm, but can wait until 1mm.

Glad to see the questions are just as sensible as ever. Not.

Really? When did they change that then?

Consider who they failed to consult.

 

LOL.
