Question Would you pass the driving theory test ???

Many of us passed our driving tests long before the theory and hazard awareness test was added to the practical driving test. Would you pass it if you had to sit it now ?

Have a go at Car Tests 1 & 2 and post up your result

I got 34/35 and 35/35, but I am studying to become an ADI at the moment

1: 28/35
2: 30/35

Since when did it become necessary to know about the environmental impact of trams to drive a sodding car?

I did the theory test here in the states last November. Took me two and a half minutes to do twenty five ish questions, got one wrong on speed.

One of the questions had an arrow pointing left saying detour.

The question was what does this sign mean?

a) Follow detour left
b) Conitnue straight
c) Follow detour right
d) Slow down (or similar)

Done these loads recently and the bike ones as I did my bike licence last year. You'd have to be a real muppet to fail them!

Edit - oops looks like there may be a few on SN then

There doesn't seem to be any way to check what you got wrong?

at the end of the test when it tells you your results in the bottom left hand side there is a button to look at your wrong questions

I got 35/35 for both. They said I got a load wrong, but they were actually right according to common sense, NSR, pepipoo and the 1689 Bill of Rights; however, we know it's just a Stalinist plot by New Labour, the DVLA and the EU to take away my rights and freedom of choice, and to control drivers more. So I can ignore them and carry on driving as I did before.

I took my real theory test a few years back and managed 100% - it's common sense more than anything.

32/35, but what stupid questions most were, and the question about what you should check 1st if a person had been involved in an accident i would hope that if i was involved in a serious car accident, that a passing motorist would leave me alone so the proper emergency service could do their job

What was that stupid one about driving in a line of traffic with another car close behind you?? Apparently the correct thing to do is not to ignore him and carry on within the speed limit, but to slow down What the **** is that about??

Scored 31 and 33 anyway, some of the wrong answers are hilarious, 'why should you wear appropriate footwear when driving?' ....why, to avoid damage to the pedals of course
