@@spicy110 have to say the only time i shouted was when you read which of theses glasses shouldn't be worn and you mentioned the sunglasses and said definitely not then i realised you misread
And the sidewinds sign isn't about airports, but in places where wind blows along a valley from the side or over roads cresting hills. It comes from the local geography.
I live on an island with a bridge being its only connection to the mainland we regularly get 60mph+ crosswinds on that bridge. I also live next to hilly landscapes with valleys and peaks. I have not seen a single one of these signs in 15 years on the road lol
Fantastic video. I went through it also and I passed too, I got different ones wrong, I'm happy I can pass after 31 years on a full licence. Thank you for that
Yep me too. It took me a while to learn to let the hazard develop before clicking and then to do two or three clicks to ensure that one was in the range. Don’t do more than three clicks or they disqualify you from that question! Ask me how I know😂
The question on glasses was which type you should NOT wear at night. So sunglasses are the worst at night. They could have written the question with more emphasis on the not, like Ian Paisley.
Really useful: thanks. I intend to go for my full (motorcycle) license in the next few months so will have to do one of these. But I haven't even looked at the Highway Code since I passed my driving test 26 years ago!
I do agree on the fact you want to be in control of your bike and use your left hand to slow down, stop or turning but you have to realise we drive/ride on left and so we should use right hand to warn others as they’ll see it better. A flag blowing is definitely windy and not an airport as it shows an aeroplane in the red triangle. Also, tinted glasses are not the same as sunglasses, they’re more like anti glare glasses or nighttime driving glasses. But you did good, just need to brush up every so often as motorists we should be doing since it’s been amended a number of times. So good work
I don't think 'we'do, thinking about it, you will be slowing down to turn right , so do not need to keep the engine revs up, you are decelerating, same as stopping ,you will not need 'gas' to stop. You might be confused with turning left IF you were in a car, the hand signal for that is right hand / arm out with the hand in a circular motion . As far as I know Spice, you don't drive a car, so might not know this. It's not your bad , but I do find your musings good veiwing
Trust me we do! Left Turn: Left arm & hand extending left, palm facing down. Right Turn: Left arm out, bent at 90 degree angle, fist clenched. Speed Up: Left arm extended straight out, palm facing up, swing upward. Slow Down: Left arm extended straight out, palm facing down, swing down to your side.
@@spicy110 I think someone is in error, please consult the Highway code, A person controlling traffic may use the hand signals you describe, particularly to beckon traffic from the side, or behind, the traffic officer will be holding a hand up to the opposing traffic stream to indicate them to stop and give way. To be honest Spicey , it's very rare to see that these days, if for any reason traffic normally is just held up . That's the only situation your hand signals would be used, to direct standstill traffic. Shoot me down in flames if I am wrong.......
Yes, I have found it now and my mind is blown! Video coming because if you look online at anyone training hand signal they never use the right arm. Apologies for this one!
Question 30, there's method to our madness. The large vehicle is the only vehicle on the road that can't break faster than you at high speeds, secondly, dragggggg. At least that's what I've found, I only really do it with HGV's though, I wouldn't do it with a bus or coach. Obviously I don't do it all the time, but I do find it fun.
I recently took my theory test to get my full licence. I must say I did do alot of practice, having taken my car test in 1972! when it didn't exist. I'm pleased to say I only got 1 wrong and got 65 out of 75 on the hazard perception, I know I'd have failed dismally if I'd not studied. I passed my test first time as well. I think direct access is not a good idea as my 6 months on a 125 duke was valuable experience on a less powerful machine. I've now got a 790 duke which could be a hooligan.
Thanks for the video, great hobby! I just passed my bike theory test last week! I used a paid app and it had all the questions on every topic and as well as the hazard perception practice videos. There are lot of free resources like the website you are using too, the paid app just gives you everything you need in one app without any restrictions and tells you what areas you are weak on. Also tinted glasses is not always sunglasses, they are also including the fact that some prescription glasses have slightly tinted lenses, which then darker more in sunlight, but then remain tinted up to a certain amount even indoors. I have prescription reaction glasses but they are clear indoors and darkened with sunlight, but you can get some that remain tinted slightly even indoors. That’s what they are referring to being tinted glasses. Seems like a trick question 😁 because the first thought is sunglasses. Biofocal (the option you selected) are glasses that are just prescription glasses that have two prescriptions in each lense (top half for distance and bottom half for reading). You wouldn’t know if you don’t wear glasses hahaha 😆
I got every one right. I passed my test in 1996 at the time it was a written test on paper. However a few times a year i do a mock test as the rules and laws change plus as you found out there are things to be aware of elsewhere that you may not have in your area like trams and airports.
Did mine earlier this year, used a phone app for revision and only got 1 question wrong on test day. The hazard awareness though...just scraped a pass on that one.
The windsock, is on the motorway towards Southampton normally seen on busy roads that cross big rivers.. I got 43 out of 50 :( - Also the slowdown one is wrong.. If you took your hand off the throttle, the bike would either stop suddenly, or slow to an uncontrolled speed. Depanding on motorcycle of course.
Hahahaa.... I was shouting at the screen on a few of the ones you got wrong... although I would have also got the 50cc question wrong as I agreed with your comment on we have a right to be there and the other cars can overtake when safe... but can see their POV.
Ahh yes, Millennial CPR, to the tune of Darude Sandstorm. Lmfao. You'll often see the "not a wind sock" sign on motorways or roads where there can be strong gusts. Usually around cliffs, wide open flat areas or bridges. IIRC airport signs are usually just an aeroplane silhouette in a red triangle. I learnt recently that the yellow-tinted night/low light aid glasses are a no no. I always thought they helped you see a bit better in low light. Tinted just means anything that isn't clear
thing I struggled with on mine was the change of wording on the real test to the mock test + the hazard perception with clicking too early... I did manage to pass my theory test on the second attempt thankfully, on the first attempt I passed on the multiple choice and failed the hazard part by ONE point... to say I was miffed was an understatement, did mean however on the second go I did much better and atleast knew what to expect.
Had an oncoming driver flash their lights to let out another car driver on the side road, he just went without looking and I had to blare my horn. Hate when they do that.
I've been riding for over 50 years and never had to sit a theory test, however I would have passed this one no problem. Would probably also have failed the hand signal one, but have never needed to do a hand signal for around 45 years.
I think a lot of the questions are convoluted and well a little bit silly in some instances. That said we have some of the safest roads in the world because of the amount of revising you must do in order to pass these. I failed mine recently as my brain can get muddled with stuff and i have to re read the question a few times. Even when i failed and reviewed the answers it was an ahhhhh ffs i knew this moment but it is what it is. Also as a side note i rebooked and wasted £23 as i forgot what date my test as it was a lengthy time to wait.
I tried it before watching this video as a little test to myself, I'm surprised at how good my guessing is. I'll explain, I ride a 125cc Scooter with limited 'features', and I didn't know you'd be required to know some medical things. Anyways I got the 43 needed.
So for the glasses it says "Shouldnt" So your dyslexia killed you on that and you got the hand for the slowing down right its the test that got it wrong, the wind sign was to warn you of possible high winds especially with motorcycles and vans being very prone to being blown about and we dont have those types of car and bike signs for green laning here so yeah that one is on you
After speed reading most the Highway Code in prep for my cbt tomorrow I just passed that test along with you pausing and picking my answers then unpausing so I wasn’t cheating lol do I have a chance at passing the cbt with what I know already?
100% they may not even talk about it, Just listen to their instructions and do not worry if you mess something up, they will let you keep trying until you get it. Enjoy the day dude, I feared my first and loved my 2nd to 4th CBT before I got my full A.
@@spicy110 wow thank you for replying mate been a fan for at least 10 years now and finally have the finances to afford a 125cc lol appreciate you putting my mind at ease the bit I was worried most about was remembering the Highway Code! I’m more confident in my riding ability but will act like a complete novice on the day to hopefully avoid most mistakes. Il let you know how I get on tomorrow, stay safe spicy!
14:08 Queue behind you while on slow motorcycle, I can always remember my instructor saying "OWN THE ROAD" Shocked to see I got it wrong, BUT Why don't cyclists do the "PULL IN" even when 2 cyclists are side by side on a no overtaking A road. Grumble Grumble. Thanks for sharing, Maybe DVLA should make all people take the test every 5 years or so.
Note it says pull in _when you can_ not that you _have_ to. I think that is the emphasis of the question, good practice is to stop in a layby if you are causing a massive line of traffic behind you for your own safety too, like tractors do a lot. I think they could have worded it a lot better ''Pull over in a safe place and when you think is safe to do so to let traffic pass, this is not a obligation but helps aid traffic flow and your own safety''.
Surely,Spicey, someone has mentioned on these comments that one of the questions you incorrectly answered was tinted glasses. Yeah,tinted galsses ARE sun glasses. It is highly recommended that you do NOT drive or ride AT NIGHT wearing tinted glasses ,i.e. sunglases. For reasons I guess you'll realuse immediately I reckion the "at night" part of the question must've dropped from your brain,mate.
Pass is a pass, my point is with no revision for 9 years and doing it in about 40% of the time allowed I passed. There is no reason for others to struggle if you revise.
So who else was shouting “NOOO” on the wrong answers 😂
😂
Wind sock. They aren't gonna take the sign down when it isn't windy 😂
That is why I make videos on how to do all the basic stuff up to suspension servicing.
@@spicy110 and keep that up 😁👍
@@spicy110 have to say the only time i shouted was when you read which of theses glasses shouldn't be worn and you mentioned the sunglasses and said definitely not then i realised you misread
The glasses one said which type ‘SHOULDN’T’ be used at night, I read it as should at first as well
And the sidewinds sign isn't about airports, but in places where wind blows along a valley from the side or over roads cresting hills. It comes from the local geography.
Living where I do I am surprised I have never seen one.
Its more to do with the expectation of wind gusts, like crossing a bridge, estuary or exposed valley etc.
I live on an island with a bridge being its only connection to the mainland we regularly get 60mph+ crosswinds on that bridge. I also live next to hilly landscapes with valleys and peaks. I have not seen a single one of these signs in 15 years on the road lol
In my area we have a sidewinds sign next to a empty field where wind tends to get very intense at times
@@rhythmrida I have that too, still no signs lol
Fantastic video. I went through it also and I passed too, I got different ones wrong, I'm happy I can pass after 31 years on a full licence. Thank you for that
It was the hazard perception I was failing on whenever I did it.That’s the most difficult part for me.

Is there a hazard perception (videos) on the test?
If you are asking at all yes that is the hazard perception test itself. If you mean to practise I think there are examples.
I did mean on the test, yes. Been practicing the theory, just need to pay on a app to get 1 months use and then book it 👍
I had a go without revising the Highway Code and past very well. I got two motorbike questions wrong. I wise I found riding slowly as easy!
Do i need a theory before taking my mod1?
Yes you need theory and cbt to take the mod 1.
@spicy110 I have cbt Indate I just don't know where to take my theory,? Also how much ie mod1 & 2 to get a1 license
You can search for your nearest theory test center online. Module one costs £15.50 and module two costs £75 I believe, theory is £23.
Got 49 is that good
If you're not passing the theory test, you should not be allowed on the road.
You are not, that is the reason for the test, well apart from the CBT, but theory will be added to that at some point.
