How do you score the questions with two answers???

I go 36/46 if they all count as 1

26/35 if you score 1/2 if you only get 1 of 2 right.

or 25/35 if you get no points unless you get both right!

Cool

I got 41 out of 46

The girlfriend got 36 so a quick straw poll suggests that I was paying more attention

That one where nobody had priority was a tad missleading, the other car was much more on the junction than us according to the photo, so I gave priority to the car

I got 35/35, but then I am a Police Driving Instructor, so it would have been bloody embarrassing if I didn't

That minger who won the car wanted a Bulldozer not a Rover

the question on correcting a rear wheel-drive skid. I thought that the current thinking was - foot of the gas,let go of the wheel to allow the car to correct itself, take hold of the wheel again and gently apply power.

This certainly worked for me on the skid pan.

Felix, actually mate I thought the exact same thing basically back off until car gets grip and off ya go but seeing there was no answer for that I went with the turn into the skid.

pressuming u dont get anything if u get 1 of the 2 part questions wrong I got 28/35 good news is I beat the misses by 1 point, she was beating me all the way through until the last 10 questions that shut her up

My mate got into a slide, on a trackday...he let go of everything as you guys say, he hurtled off the track and landed on his roof!!

I think I'll stick with steering into skids...and letting the handbrake off!

If its a rear end slide, then backing off will cause the rear to go out more!

I answered accelerate to that question too!

Yes that will work. However you need a lot of room. In this particular case there were parked cars either side, so you had to input some steering in order to miss them.

As per usual with all these tests, the questions weren't worded very well.
