Yes, with absolute confidence and the expectation of favorable results.

If it's not impertinent to ask the question, what does Kewpie believe?

All the best. Have you passed the practical then?

I passed my motorcycle test about 5 years ago which included a difficult theory element part of which was some mock hazard awareness test using a crappy video machine. It was totally bizarre, I felt like I was in some 1970's video game. I scraped through even though I spotted most of the hazards - ...[text shortened]... you have to "click" to recognise the hazard at a specific point, too early and it fails you.
Yes. You get penalised for being too perceptive. Crazeeeee.

I failed the hazard perception first time as well. I passed second time. Then it was nearly two years until I took my practical test due to cash flow problems. I failed this first time, my theory expired so I had to take the whole lot again.

I think the DVLA made a packet out of me.

3 weeks to go......
Seems like you have a lot of work to get your theory done over there. I've got my theory exam on monday next week - 30 multiple choice questions out of which I'm only allowed to get 3 wrong if I want to pass. None of that perception stuff though... when will you be doing your practical exam?

Sorry cross purposes. I did the car test. You know those big square things that kill motorcyclists?
