hi mate did get that one and get scores of between 60 and 67 out of 75 ,doesn't help.i had a go at the official vid again last night and even though i know the hazards in the ten clips i only got 5 5s and 5 4s so the way i see it they need to show me the vids about 3 times for me to get 100 %.OK you only need 44 points (i think )but it seems that getting 5 is more down to luck than skill,but thats just me being old ,i will go through the DVD again tonight

Kirsty come the revolution ill stop this part of the test for experienced drivers .steve

thanks kirsty ,martyc.ill go through the DVD again tomorrow perhaps ill find it a little more informative second time around.

but how many £30s do i have to part with ?.i just don't see it as a skill thing ,you can learn a skill ,i just cant see how to play the game and win,and as i have just seen all 10 vids i cant even practice

WELL i don't want to say love me love me I'm thick BUT the DVD is the biggest load of bull hooks that i have ever seen .i have just looked at all 10 vid clips i clicked on all the hazards that were shown on the repeat vid but only scored 2 5s in fact i cant tel you how i did because i cant seem to get a total score .i thought that the DVD would let you practice the films but i think you only get 10 and there ain't much point in watching them again .for the life of me all this just seems like one big rip off either that or I'm just too old and have been driving too long to get my head around it.I'm considering canceling my theory test as i just don't think that i will ever pass the hazard part as its just a video game and has fcuk all to do with riding a bike .then the choice will be do i get a 125 or just don't bother ,ho hum thought this was going to be enjoyable but its turning into a pain in the ass,should have done it 30 years ago . rant over

thanks for all the advice

is that so i thought i had to pass my theory before i could go any further

BUT am i right in thinking, No1....i passed my theory 48/50 but because i failed the hazard perception they turn my theory pass into a fail No2....i cant have lessons on a bike (with a fully qualified instructor) with the intentions of taking my test but i can buy a 125 and ride it on the road on my own for the next 2 years. No3....they say as i failed my hazard perception i cant go for my bike test but i can drive my car ,even though most of the theory and all of the hazard perception applied to driving a car.so how come they haven't banned me from driving my car ?. i can under stand doing a test that is based on riding /maintaining bikes but if I'm qualified to drive a car what the hell am i having to do the theory / hazard perception for .i think that all experienced drivers just deal with hazards with out even thinking about it i have been driving for thirty years and I'm still here and i haven't killed anybody so i must be doing something right i just think its another rip off and if i have just proven that I'm unqualified to have lessons on a bike then i must be unqualified to drive my car . rant over. some of you may think I'm still a little pi55ed off but i have booked my next test so ill give it another go then they can stick it were the sun don't shine and ill get a 125

thanks,i have booked another test but not until 17 march .it seems i see they hazard just before THEY say i should and if i hold back i get a low score.i did miss out on a score as i clicked to many times or so the PC said .still ill do it another 2 times if i need to then ill get a 125,i need to get on a bike and a 125 on L plates is better than sod all

i scored 48 out of 50 for the theory but a cr4p score of only 38 for the hazard perception

thanks will report back tomorrow

well done mate

i have been driving since i was 18 ,I'm now 51 and will be taking my theory test tomorrow and I'm 5h1ting myself.I'm looking at it as part two of my bike test so if i don't pass i cant start having lessons for mod 1 and i wont to get on that 500.impatience is setting in

rather than doing a 3/4/5 day course.i have my theory test this Saturday and if i pass i want to have lessons for mod 1 .I'm in no rush and want to learn to pass mod 1 and mod 2 in the same way i learned to drive a car .

put a little washing up liquid onto the inside of your visor and wipe it all over until it disappears ,i promise it wont mist up

ok thanks

yes it does .i think its a proper triumph jacket ,very good qualety has triumph on the front zip pull wotsit .

hi all this may be a silly question but i have just bought a great jacket on ebay its a triumph triple connection and is in mint condition and only £45,Will do me fine to use when on my lessons.the question is do i have to buy the trousers to match the jacket or will most makes zip into the jacket .i think o know the answer but i have been known to be wrong . most times
