cipx2 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 As I'm not from UK I never saw these signs before: I managed to figure out the significance of all but the 2nd This one has a different significance, I voted nothing so I failed it: So 28 out of 30.

Roverdrive Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 28. Not too bad since the last time I looked at the book was doing my bike test 18 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cipx2 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks Ralph. The only question I had was about the no parking red lines. I suppose they are doubled by no parking or no stopping regular traffic signs, aren't they? Otherwise how would one know he's not supposed to park/stop when there's snow on the ground? Not that it snows too often there ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 29/30. I said that the double white line was no overtaking, apparently it means you may not straddle it. I had to bone up on this about three years ago for the theory test as part of the motorbike test. HR was a lucky guess though, as was the broken cross hatching.

Ben_J85JTY Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 27/30 Dissapointing as I have to take a similer test once a year to allow me to drive vehicles for the voluntry organisation I work for. That and I have been swatting up for a Motorbike theory test I took this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 29 first go. Got the school / pedestrian crossing mixed up/ Not too worried about that - either way someone is going to be in the road in front of me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 30, but then I did do my theory test last year when doing bike license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think the third one means 'Danger, Human Resources ahead, you may get retrenched' Did the test, got 0/30 which seems to mean that coppers don't understand the difference between M$ software and Firefox. Werl, you never did expect the polis IT departments to know what they are doing, did you? I mean, I'm in IT but know nothing about hitting people on the head with truncheons. So why should they know about IT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the red or yellow no parking lines are always paired with the required info signs on poles at various points along the red or yellow lines areas of use, we also have single yellow lines that have signs giving times of no parking/waiting' normally no parking between 7am to 7pm for example.

ciderman Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 26 /30 not bad for 20 years of driving with a HGV test thrown in for measure about 16 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Cor the coding on that is very flaky. It gave me a score of 16 on my first go and said I had all sorts of wrong answers even though they were correct. The next time I refreshed and tried it again it gave me a score of 0. And if you keep on pressing submit, it adds your score cumulatively. On my 3rd go it finally gave me the correct score (according to the answers I gave on my first go) of 28 out of 30 I hope they didn't pay much to have that written.
