Just for fun. Mock theory driving test.

[EltonFrog]

You probably read the article about the driver taking the theory test 59 times and failing. Here.

Out of curiosity, I clicked on a mock test to see how I would do. I got 48/50. Should have done better.

Here is the test if you want to have a go.

Disappointed; i got 100% last time.

I only got 44.
At least that is a pass

Well, I started off doing it but figured I would do someday bit more fun.

44. I guess there are a few new things around since I took my test in 1974 ☹️

Unless things have changed dramatically, the theory test is worryingly easy. The only real bit which I found a challenge was the hazard perception test.

45, which I suppose isn't bad considering I've never had a driving lesson in my life and got my licence over half a century ago.

48/50. One error and one "didn't read properly, trying to be too quick"

 

[cyberknight]

For those of us who have been driving for years, if we are competent drivers, it should be easy for us to get at least a pass mark.

It is still a hell of a lot more rigorous than the "theory" test when I took it (1978), which consisted of eth examiner at the end of the test asking a couple of questions, then showing you a few images of road signs and asking what they meant. Mine even gave me a big hint, when one of the signs was red bars on a white background, the usual 3,2,1. I said it was three hundred, two hundred and one hundred yards to something, but I couldn't recall what, and he said "think about trains"!
