Prompted by a comment from Sally in the White Van Man post, in which she asks how I did with my Driving Theory and Hazard Perception tests, I am crawling out from my hiding place (otherwise known as ‘being as busy as hell at work’), full of shame to reveal, in a shame-faced, shameful, shamey shamey shameful kind of way, that…
I…
Failed.
Hahahahahaha!
No I didn’t.
The appropriate statement on the results sheet is:
‘You scored 49 (out of 50) in your Theory Test. You scored 75 (out of 75) in your Hazard Perception Test’.
I’ll get the sheet scanned in and uploaded as soon as I can, but for now you’ll have to make do with that.
Here’s the weird stuff.
They didn’t tell me which one I got wrong, just that it was in the section ‘Rules Of The Road’.
Here’s more weird stuff.
When I turned up, I was booked in and given a locker key. I had to take off my watch, empty my pockets (completely!), switch my phone off and put all of these things in to the locker.
Apparently people cheat.
Anyway, as a result of my awesome test results, the pot of money that is going to the International League for the Protection of Horses is £45.
I feel smug.
Congratulations! (And I never doubted you for a moment 😉
Saw a classic WTF earlier this week. Car driving during the day with lights on. It was reasonably overcast and dull, but not many people had lights on. But having the lights on is a nod to safety, right? Here’s the thing. MASSIVE tailgater!
“I’m putting my lights on so you can see me and now I’m going to drive so close to you that you probably won’t be able to see them any more.”
Twat.
Hang on a minute – what about your practical test?
[runs away and hides]
p.s. I had to take my Douglas County theory and practical driving test when I came here. The UK is one of the handful of countries in the world which Nebraska does not recognize as being “compatible with their driving standards”. Yes, I laughed too. Then I passed first time..oh, with 100 percent on my theory ner ner ner! 🙂
p.p.s Congratulations. :-))
Congratulations.
Of course, I expected no less.
Good job, B.
Oooh well done! I wouldn’t have expected less. Did you do it from memory or have a bit of a swot up first?
Thanks folks. Money donated to a very worthy cause.
Well done! Sorry you’re so busy at work. Me, too — and it’s sucking the life out of me.
They’re getting their money’s worth and a little more, on this job.
