Post by: DMR on Wednesday, June 15, 2005, 08:32:15
In Swindon, where the hell is the centre?

Milton Road, is that the one off Fleet Street?

I need a job

I don't bleeding know, I wouldn't have asked otherwise.

I'll fail though  8)

I failed mine twice and passed my practical first time 8) I'm brilliant.

no the theory place isnt the same as the test centre. If it is milton road then thats the one off faringdon road.
Have they changed it recently because thats not where i had my theory.

My theory was out the back of Yates'.

Milton Road runs parallel to Farnsby Street (the one with the 2 multi-storey carparks)

yeah thats where my theory was. but they may have changed it?

It's in Ambrose House, but Faringdon Road sounds right, cos that's where you wind up if you come Fleet Street (I think)

Cheers fella

I've taken 3 mock tests over the last hour, failed on 2 and passed one  8)  I'm not feeling confident

40 minutes, btw, does anyone actually take that long?


Title: I've got my theory test at 3pm
Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, June 15, 2005, 08:54:57
I live off Farigdon Road, and yes, it does turn in to Fleet Street at the bottom of town.

Good luck, my fellow Dave.

I didn't, but then that was 8 years ago now. :cry:  It's changed a lot since then.

You'd better hope there is no thong action Dave, otherwise you're done for.

You won't be able to see any thong action unless it's on the monitor anyway.

Hazard Perception.

That seems easy enough I'm passing them (just).

All my mates have passed I'm going to get ridiculed if (when) I fail  :cry:

You could come round, however, i am at work.

you're showing your age there, tom.

the hazard perception thing was a bitch, I was taking my theory just as they introduced it and each time I took the test, the instructions changed and confused me.


Title: I've got my theory test at 3pm
Post by: Asher on Wednesday, June 15, 2005, 09:16:05
I failed first time as it took 15 mins second time and after my mum kicked my ass, I took 30 mins and passed!

Good luck

I hope you fail you miserable old git!  The roads would be a lot safer if the pricks weren't allowed to drive!

Mine was just the simple 35 questions, touch screen.  12 minutes later, i had 32 correct and had a shiny certificate to prove it.

DMR - not a chance.

seriously dave, the hazard perception thing is really quite easy, but the intro video told me something completely different each time i did it.

Yep, only got me a photo licence a couple of weeks ago.  I had to get photo ID for Glasto, and being as my paper licence had been in a river with me, and was stuck together with selotape accross every single fold, I thought I might as well get myself a photo one.                  

It cost £19 pounds though.  A tip is to wait till you move house, then you can change for a photo one for free.

I moved 2 years ago, still says I live in london?!?!?! will it be free? Its a long form to fill out, might just get someone to do it for me

When you change your address it is free to change it, yes.  However I'm not sure of the rules if your application is two years late. :?

Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, June 15, 2005, 10:55:16
I took about 15 minutes. Got 32 on the theory bit and passed the hazard perception bit comfortable but can't remember what exact score.


Title: I've got my theory test at 3pm
Post by: oxford_fan on Wednesday, June 15, 2005, 10:59:13
i got the pass mark  :king:  (30?) in the pre-hazard perception days, mind.

It took about 15/20mins.

Did he pass then? I thought we wouldve heard something by now?

Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Wednesday, June 15, 2005, 17:36:40
:? I'm worried, if he failed I think the dissapointment might make him slip back into his old smack habit. Then again if he passed he could be shooting up to celebrate. Don't do it Dave! :nono:

I got 35 in the pre hazard-perception days but I know that if the wrong questions came up I could quite easily have failed. You'll nail it next time d_m_r.
