EX GASMAN Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Not having looked at the highway code since my daughter took her test 26 years ago. I just did an online theory test. I got 92% and a pass, having said that I wouldn't want to take a modern bike test without any training. Thankfully I don't have to Quote
Sparkzz Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 The theory test is easy, it was the Hazard perception that I struggled with. I still passed it, but when I did the online tests I was getting over 90%, but on the day at the test centre got a lot less. The real test is a lot different to the online practice tests. Quote

I found that the ones they have now in the Theory Test is a lot more "computised" so the hazards are slightly easier to spot that the "live action" ones that they used to do in the past. I didn't purchase any study material this time round as I just used the ones the DVSA had on their website so went in hoping for the best! (I passed! ) Quote
EX GASMAN Posted July 13, 2019 Author Posted July 13, 2019 Had a go at the hazard test. Failed miserably! Part of the problem for me with 50 years riding and driving experience is most of what I do is automatic. Trying to look on the screen and pick the hazards was a lot harder than I expected. So glad I don't have to do it for real.I'm sure with training I could pass it but I think the more actual driving / riding experience you have, the harder the test will be. Quote
Bender Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I passed all mock tests and proper theory no prob, main issue with lots of road time is you spot half the hazards before the system let's you, some are laughable Quote
