Passed!
I took my car theory test on Saturday morning and passed, woot! :D I wasn't very confident because I only started revising a few days beforehand and not very thoroughly, but I just scraped the multiple choice. 45/50 and the pass-mark is 43, phew!

The hazard perception bit was easy, just like playing a computer game ;) For you old geezers who don't know, you now have to pass the multiple-choice AND the HP to obtain your theory. They show you 14 video-clips from the view of a moving car and you click the mouse whenever you see potential hazards - pedestrians about to cross/run, parked cars blocking views, cars changing direction or doing mad things like reversing into main roads etc. Anything that may cause you to slow down or change direction. They score you on how quickly you spot these.

And I've just realised I've posted about this but not yet about Paris, the convention there and Euro Disney. Oh well, when work and life is less hectic - it can wait!

Woooooooooo! Well done :D
I'm suprised the HP test doesn't put people off driving completely. All those hazards, we're all going to die! XD

You know what? I'm now driving along with dad going "Hazard! Hazard! Hazard!". Everyone's out to kill me! D:

If I made those interactive videos, I'd make sure the cursor pointer was a crosshair! :)

I hope I wasn't sitting there going "pew pew pew!", or even better, "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

I failed my first theory :( 29/35, back in the olden days when you didn't need to do hazard awareness.

The new test sounds fun, because I'd be looking out for stuff like the car behind using a nitrous boost. The only correct action is to try and make it bump into you so your car gets a speed boost as well, right?

*insert a dozen other racing game clichés that never happen for real here*

Thanks me making me feel REALLY old btw, as I didn't have to do the theory test either.

That's what I'm here for - making everyone else feel decrepid! :)
