Anyone else had problems with this new driving theory test?

This hazard perception thing is really annoying me!!

I've took the test twice now, it says to respond early to 'developing' hazards well I've doing that and it doesnt seem to work.. the pass mark for it is 44/75 (got 41 and 34) and the multiple choice part is so easy compared to it you need 30/35 to pass (got 34 and 35).

I personally think its a load of crap doing this on a computer with poor quality video clicking a mouse when you think theres a hazard..

sorry for posting this crap, just wanted to see what anyone else thinks??? and get my frustration out some more

Get one of those CD's.

Not the BSM simulation (its nothing like the real thing).

You want Driving Test Success CD-Rom's

Whoever introduced this into the test needs to be shot

I never thought it would be so difficult their scoring system is messed up!

Yeah I need to practise a lot more.. its driving me mad

Best of luck for your practical

I fear that day even more..

There is no reason to be scared or nervous,
just think as it as a normal lesson, besides
it only last for 40 minutes, you do a couple of
manoeuvres and a little drive thats it.
Piece of piss

never had the hazard perception when i done mine, that makes me feel really old

3 years and 9 months ago now

lucky sod! I think this new shit only started last year aswell.. I wish I started driving earlier now

Make sure you dont press on the mouse to early (like i did)
so i had to press it again really fast when the hazard came into
view, dont worry its pretty straightforward, thats if your not
nervous

do u drive? i dont think so. therefore u dont really understand how u could use this test in real driving.

the scoring isnt messed up, it is just very critical, u need to respond to 'potential' hazards quickley, its not clicking when a cycist charges out in front of u, its clicking when u see the cyclist first[/b], thats the key, it is clicking the moment u see a [i]potential hazard, not clicking when it actually happens.

actually i think he has a full drivers license now

Anyways, it's no wonder there are so many wank drivers on our roads, because passing your test is incredibly easy that it's really quite pathetic. As the saying goes, they'll let anyone drive these days.
