BBC Highway Code Test

Takes a couple of minutes. I passed this with 9/10, but the dog one had me completely stumped.

10/10

But still, dont let me anywhere near a car. Last attempt at driving, my "paralell parking" was diagnoal, onto hte pavement, at 20mph.

 

10/10 piece of piss!!

I knew all those hours on C+ would pay off :-)

 

I got 9 out of 10 too; the one I got wrong was "how close should a parked car be to a junction" the correct answer scrolled up too fast what should it be?

10m, I answered 15m; all the other questions just seemed like common sense

 

7/10. Dog, distance from junction (over-estimated the correct distance) and something else.

 

10/10...

Not that I drive much these days anyway. Having passed my test 10 years ago I'm still in the enviable position where I've cycled further than I've driven (long may it continue!)

10/10 looks as though i`m fit to use the roads

 

10/10

 

For info:

The question about the parking near a junction isn't technically correct. You can park as close to a junction as you like, so long as it's an officially marked bay. Sense prevails (usually!) such that bays are a reasonable distance from a junction.

7/10, been away too long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

9/10 - thank god.

I'm having refresher lessons at the moment because I passed my test as a teenager and haven't driven since. I thought I'd be OK to drive, we hired a car, and then my girlfriend caught me whispering 'OK, now, left to right, accelerator, brake, clutch, oh, no, maybe it's the other way around' and point-blank refused to be in the same car as me unless I got some lessons.

Seems like I still have a fair knowledge of the highway code, though!

 

9/10 - it was the junction question that did it (overestimated again). Quite easy, especially that first one about route planning.

 

10/10 but guessed the dog and educated guess on the distance from the junction (I thought it was less than 10 meters).

Mind you, at least I knew that there IS a minimum distance you have to keep a junction clear by. Looking at the parking of most people they seem totally unaware of this rule.

 

10/10. Thirty two years since I passed my motorbike test and haven't really looked at the highway code since then. Most of it is common sense, but there are a lot of drivers out there without any sense.
