Mock theory tests

Have a try here if you've got a spare 10mins-

I got 43/50 on the 50 random questions link

[Dudeofrude]

48/50 but to be fair I only did it 5 years ago

[BBROWN1664]

49/50 and I have only ever done the mock on once before about 6 years ago. I took my real test when we only had 3 questions about the highway code asked by the examiner at the test centre.

Got 46/50.  Wasn't happy with that, so did another run through.... and got 46.


:rolleyes

[robbo]

Got 47/50. Had my bike license 50 odd years, who cares what letter it is. Try not to use motorways let alone smart ones, bit hasty with the maths on the braking distance question though. :rollin :rollin

47/50

Would be interesting to try it without multiple choice  !,

I got 46, but I got one wrong through being too courteous to other road users (when to stop using High Beam if you're being overtaken at night), one because I don't use Park and Ride and one because if I don't travel outside England, what does it matter that I won't see a Traffic Officer?!
I also sent them a complaint about one question because I think it's poorly worded:
It asked "What can you do to be seen more easily when you're riding at night?" and gives the following answers:

A. Use your headlight on dipped beam
B. Wear waterproof clothing
C. Keep the motorcycle clean
D. Stay well out to the right

I selected D and was told:

"You selected D, the correct answer was A

"It's vital to make yourself as visible as you can. Use the correct lights on your motorcycle. Wear reflective clothing and a light or brightly coloured helmet. Fluorescent clothing is effective in daytime, but won’t show up as well at night. Most high-visibility clothing will have a combination of fluorescent and reflective materials."

I think this is badly phrased. It is a legal requirement to use headlights at night, it's not something I "can" do, it's something I *must* do.

I selected D because, apart from that, positioning to the right was the best option to ensure that I am visible and less likely to be lost in "visual clutter" on the left of the road.

Of course, wearing Hi Viz is the best option (as well as making sure that my lights are working and clean), but that wasn't offered as an answer.

I reckon i got the 3 wrong 'cos i was trying to ride the bike at the time.  :lol

[Hugh Mungus]

44/50 which isn't too bad I suppose.
A couple of silly mistakes and a couple of bad guesses!

[mtread]

46/50. Some of the questions are a bit obscure. I had one about a motorcycle pulling a trailer!

[slappy]

47 out of 50, one question was what to check before fitting a sidecar to your motorcycle!  They must think it is still 1950.

Make sure Olive is still willing to get in it  :lol

[red98]

44 for me ...some strange questions , one about traffic lights for trams that I guessed wrong and one that needs updating about learners in cars on motorways....good to do though as a refresher on the highway code..

[Hugh Mungus]

The scores being admitted to aren't that bad as most of us haven't read the highway code in years - and some of those questions aren't in the highway code anyway.


I guess that those who only scored 10 haven't fessed up yet  :lol

<quote> one question was what to check before fitting a sidecar to your motorcycle  </quote> The correct answer is of course 'make sure you're not wearing the wrong trousers..... Gromit'

I had this question appear

In Serbia, the law says to use "high" (long?) beam lights at night at all times - it is obligatory - EXCEPT: in urban areas, when there's oncoming traffic, or being behind another vehicle - closer than 200 m.

I had this question appear

Never really had any issues with blocked vision with my wing mirrors?

[Dave48]

Scored 49/50. The one I got wrong was about tyre on motorcycle over 50cc. I clicked tread depth below 1.6mm (which is the legal minimum for this category as far as i recall-can anyone confirm this please?) I should have gone for bulge in tyre which  thinking about it, I would be more concerned about a bulge than having insufficient tread although I guess we all regularly check our tyres(bike & 4 wheel vehicles) unlike a few cagers I know who NEVER check tyre pressures let alone look for cuts/bulges/tread depth :eek
