Practice Highway Code test

45/50
Not having a youngster I wasn't aware of what the seat belt requirements were
A couple of sign ones - roundabout & road humps - simply because I only glanced at the image (went for mini and hump bridge)
The yellow box one as the correct answer about not entering it to turn right if the exit is not clear wasn't shown
Road positioning on turning left - should you really position yourself as far to the left of the road as possible? I'd prefer to be either in the middle of the lane or just to the left.

Yes - that was the one I could not remember

If you are on a main road and are turning into a narrow minor raod them staying right is correct

In our estate you need to do this as there are often cars parked and peopl walking so you need to be flexible which requires staying a bit out so you can take various lines
the question was right in a very basic and clear cut junction
real life is not always like that

which means - badly set question

The roundabout and the turninh left into a minor road were the other two I got wrong as well.

I'll stick with the Thaiway Code

Pass but I don't drive.

Didn’t notice till near the end that there was a 1 hour countdown timer at the t of the screen. Finished with 49 minutes left and scored 46/50.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I didn't notice what I got wrong. And I'm not doing it again to find out!

Probably the thing about coloured reflective studs on the M-Way. It was only recently that I learned that there are different coloured studs. I never noticed, they are just dots of light to me. The first aid ones too I probably got wrong. I did do a St Johns Ambulance training course, but that was 40 years ago. I had to guess at the roundabout sign, was it mini-roundabout or roundabout. I may have guessed wrong, I don't remember what I guessed. The one about lane positioning when turning left I had to make a guess, which may have been wrong.

Oh, and I didn't even know what a puffin crossing was. Just looked it up.

So many of them proposed one hilariously stupid answer along the lines of "have a stiff drink and punch someone", two foolish answers and one plausible one, so it wasn't difficult.

Yes I got that “wrong” too. I put just left of the middle, partly for visibility into the side road. Also it referred to middle of the road not middle of the lane.

I suspect the people setting that one haven't driven on many of the smaller rural roads, where a "minor" road you are turning into is likely to be a rather narrow entry without good visibility. If you are right over to the left when making that type of turn, not only is it hard to see what might be around the junction, but you will struggle to even have room to turn.

64 outof 50 right

Wow, did you use an AI agent in order to manage to get that score?

exactly
same applies to some suburban roads where a lot of people park outside their house
on the road
even though they live 2.4 inches from the corner

which happens here in the space of 2 small houses before a 90 degree bend in the road and causes chaos is someone who doesn;t know the road

 

[Electric_Andy]

I got 40 and failed. I also disagree with the lorry one

 

[Profpointy]

I got 4 wrong. One was the puffin crossing, whatever TF that is as I've never even seen one in the 45 years I've been driving. Seems the turn left one too, as I'd not be far left, particularly on a pushbike where that would be dangerous advice. Dunno what else as Iost the screen and it had gone. Struggled with the box junction one as rhe answers made little sense as I couldn't work out which direction you were deemed to be considering. "exit is clear" didn't seem an option, and which way is straight on or left depended on where you are coming from

I only learned to drive 4 years ago. I got 50 out of 50 on my actual theory. I actually did the mock test just for a bit of fun a couple of months back and scored..... 37! Rather worrying how quickly my knowledge of the HC has crumbled!
