Dont worry about it, I sat my car licience 20yrs ago and did the scratch test about 4months ago and got it 100% correct without studing at all. Just use common sence

what he said, study properly, unlike me, it took me 3 times to get my learners, all in one afternoon, cost me a fortune and dented my pride a lot. But I've never been good with tests and shit like that.

Good luck anyhow

1. I've been driving for 15 years so not a stranger to the road code, but can anyone give me some pointers when I sit the scratch and win learners test??
Like any TRICKY questions that's specific to Bikers....

2. Can I wear contacts?

A helpful memeber recommended Lee Rusty to do my Basic handelling test...thanks...I'll give him a buzz

chao

you need to be a complete twat not to pass this test, answer sample question below to get the feel for it.

Q. you should wear a helmet when riding a bike because?

1. your mates cant see your face
2. it protects you head
3. it looks cool

if you answer 2 then your a shoo in for a license.

any other answer and I would stick to a cage

Hi,

Try this: http://www.drivinginstructor.co.nz/m...ub_courses.php

I think the scratchy I did was well covered by this.

Cheers,

Damn, I thought it was 3

You'll be fine, I did the test a while ago to convert my UK licence, pretty much common sense. Worth getting and reading the road code book though for the odd tricky question.

I did not fancy paying to sit the test more than once (70 odd dollars is more than enough for the pleasure).

Yes mostly it is common sense but some of it isn’t - such as who cuts extra slack for who on a narrow steep road - the driver going up the hill, or the driver going down?

The answer to this question probably dates back to some code of chivalry applying when we were all on horse and carts and called each other “sir” and “madam”

I made sure I could confidently answer all the sample test questions in the motorcycle road code, and if I wasn’t sure (like the above stupid question) I looked them up using the handy page numbers provided.

Best wishes!

Err, no it is just common sense... The driver going uphill will have a much harder time of getting going again if he/she has to stop.....

Driving what?

[edit] I understand your line of reasoning but any modern passenger vehicle with a WOF is capable of a hill start. Tell me I am wrong...

Now with a horse and cart, that is a different story. That rule has the smell of horses about it, and in 2005 no longer meets the criteria of "common" sense in my opinion. :-)

Giddy up.

I though the drive going downhill had to give way???

**flash** · 30th November 2005, 22:18
