Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

I didn't actually take the test as I am way older that that :lol but it was a while ago and it was going around the forum to see if we could pass it.
At first go I completely messed up the hazard perception test as I was clicking everything, ooh no leaves on trees - winter - shade from hedge - possible frost -"click". Manhole cover "click" road tar line repairs - "click" blind brow of hill - "click"- pidgin in field I guarantee it is going to take off and fly in front of me - "click"-,  focing audi just pulled up at a junction on my left "click click click" !. Bus up ahead --- well of course he is going to pull out or a twat just got off and cross the road in front of the bus so I "click" oooh I am right it is a hazard in the test but I have spotted the bus hazard far too early for the test and it thinks I am clicking for nothing :wall    and all "my" other hazard clicks were not hazards ----- fail    :rolleyes

When my eldest was learning to drive I did an online hazard perception test and failed too. I was clicking on things I took as hazards earlier than the test took them. For example, a child walking along the street. To me that is a hazard as they tend to move diagonally into the road without looking. For the test though, they only became a hazard when they turned towards the road. Another was a bus driving along. A hazard to me as it will stop and disgorge passengers so you need to be more aware f it slowing down etc. No, to them, its only when it is stationary. etc etc.

Riding a bike makes you more aware of potential hazards earlier but take the test in bike mode and you will fail.

For the theory test, i had a go at that too. 100% on one attempt and got one question wrong on another go. Cant remember what he questions were though.
