Cheers guys, booked my practical for the 17th so it ain't over yet!

Is a USA driver's licence not good enough for the UK then?

is it 50 questions on the multiple choice now??

only 35 when i did it, and i scored 35, which is nice, and got 57 out of 75 on HP

they only teach you how to pass your test, not how to drive properly, which is why a high percentage have an accident within their first year

I was told that the majority of car accidents happen within 5 miles of home, so i moved house!

I rarely go more than 5 miles from home so very likely....

Crikey! This talk of hazard perception and multiple choice sounds scary. My test was a case of driving the tester around Farnborough for 40 minutes and if he hasn't soiled himself by then you've passed.

Well done, Theo, and all the best for the practical. Are you taking it in the Omega?

Er, no!  Plan to beg/borrow/steal small car with a manual box.

Ahh. Good thinking. A mate of mine did his test in an auto and ended up with an auto-only license  ;D
