sorry no tips ive only just started doing me driving again so ive all that to come but me mate managed to pass his first time after a nite raving and his not all that clever at the best of times :yakk: GOOD LUCK!

Best of luck mate!

M8 i wish you the best of luk i know this is probably too l8 but i have just done my theory an managed to pass with 34 out of 35 on the theory and 56 out of 75 on the hazard perception, an i did no revision wat so ever. Im sure you will be fine, its basically common sense.

TO BE HONEST, THE THEROY TEST ISNT ANY THING TO WORRY ABOUT, WHEN I DONE MINE I HAD BEEN OUT THE NITE BEFORE AS IT WAS A FRIDAY AND I WAS STILL STEAMING DRUNK WHEN I TOOK IT. PASSED FIRST TIME, ONLY JUST THOUGH, 30 OUT OF 35 AND 59 OUT OF 75.

TRY AND STAY ON A STRAIGHT HEAD ITLL MAKE THINGS EASIER.

GOOD LUCK AND HOPE YOU PASS.

PEACE

I basically got exactly the same except got 58 on hazard perception.

Its true what people say, the questions are basically comon sense but they do throw in some that can catch you out, and then theres the braking distances n all that bollox!

Hazard perception is about concentration n always thinking what could possibly happen and when, also be quick to click when its just blatent (Trucks parked near junctions, wobbly cyclists,people stepping out ETC) but not to click to many times!

Good luckraaa

sorry to hear you failed – I’ve still got to re-take my test also.. and because I didn’t do the theory test when I failed last time got to do that as well. That said I definitely wasn’t ready and had wholly the wrong attitude towards others on the road – cars bring out a nasty aggressive streak in me and its only now as I am older that I can just about keep this down.

TBH I would say though that having a driving licence merely means you can be “unfree in a more remote place” and carries stacks of other responsibilities; being responsible for passengers/others safety, costs of fuel, MOT/insurance and other hassles, traffic cops on your case (if you drive to/from raves your “card is marked”), environmental impact etc. (Of course I didn’t give a flying fuck about any of this 15 years ago; and had I scraped through on that driving test I reckon I would either be dead now or in HMP)

I can understand what NIGHT-NURSE is getting at though as sadly the streets are not very safe – so for girls/women (and a lot of blokes as well although they are too “macho” to admit it!) the safety of a car does give a lot of perceived empowerment.

On this note its also interesting how in recent times many outdoor raves attract people who choose to stay in their cars for the bulk of the event; and it “ain’t just ketamine” as that stuff’s been around for years!

OTOH A lot of girls/women I have spoken to are wary to cycle at weekends or evenings because they get harrasment (I’ve heard nightmare stories as well about girls being groped by scum in passing cars and then pushed off their bikes onto the asphalt when they complain – these are rare (and its not just girls who get attacked on their bikes!) but they tend to stick in peoples minds)

drivers/potential drivers – keep a close eye on this though..
