Changes to Driving Theory Test,23 Jan 2012

mike216

Hi, has anyone taken their Driving Theory Test since Jan 23 when the practise questions were taken out of the exam question database? Any advice on whether it's that much harder? Thanks

Are you talking about there no longer being a bank of published questions from which the real ones are taken?

I imagine the questions will be the same kinda thing though, so practice CDs will still be relevant.

I'm so old I didn't have to do a theory test just answered 3 random questions..... Those where the days.....

Wasn't exactly difficult when I did it 3 years ago. I actually did it on my 17th birthday. Yet I do know at least one intelligent person who managed to fail it the first time!

I just wish that they would install good driving practice into drivers these day. i.e., if you pull up at a T-junction (going left) and look right and see a car coming, then you do NOT pull out, I repeat, if a car is coming you wait until it is passed, not go, oh, it has plenty of time to brake sharply, I'll just pull out like a complete cant.

They should include this question:

Your driving along a dual carriageway in the right hand lane, ahead you notice slow moving traffic in the left hand lane, do you

A) Change lanes and join the back of the queue
Continue in your current lane and merge in turn
c) Do a handbrake turn through the central reservation and find another way home

Anyone answering A or C, should then be denied a drivers licence for the rest of their lives and shot on the stop, in front of their families!!!

Oh that annoys me to, or if you do pull out put your foot down so they don't have to brake!

My two pet hates are wrong lanes on roundabouts, right lane straight over left lane to go left, Not left lane for everything and people on T junctions who don't go to the middle of road when turning right, instead they sit and wait for nothing to be within a 20 mile radius then go.....

Hi!
I have just done my theory test today, 29/08/2012.
Before I did 2 in 2007.

All 3 were the same type, same type of questions, nothing new. I studied the Official DSA Theory Test for Car Drivers book, and all the multiple choice question were from that book. Passed with 48/50.

If this helps anyone who are going soon, GOOD LUCK!

My son took his Theory test yesterday.

Did it in 12 minutes, 46/50. He used the AA theory book and DVD from WHSmith.
