what a load of old shit...
 
I am having to learn the highway code for my test in August..
How is anyone supposed to remember all this?

If your car is on fire in a tunnel what should you do?...personally,I would shit myself.Apparently though I need to turn my hazzard lights on and try and put it out...never mind the fact it might explode.:frown:

Hey darl

my mate has just done his test and said it was much easier than the UK. Let me find out what his questions were on average and i will let you know... might be a little more help for your learning and you will know what to expect.

I understand when he went for his results it was all up on one board along with a million indians... there was only a handful that passed.

Actually it works the other way round...........

If the young lady being tested is 'attractive', she fails...........

.......... because the examiner is hoping he will get her again when she retakes it.... and the next time.... and the next time....... until it becomes a case of:

"I feel I know you quite well now (cheesy grin) - fancy going for a drink?"

I don't know if the theory test in Dubai is the same one as the one in Abu Dhabi, but I was convinced that I'd fail, but didn't. I think they choose the easiest questions for the test, as I only got one wrong (Sam, note to self: When pedestrians are crossing the road, you slow down, you don't speed up!).

The thing that got me, was that in the pictures from the Textbook all the bad people, i.e. all the bad drivers, and the drunks, and the jay walkers, and the bad children that steal things, were all black. Terrible.

Incidentally, I failed the practical test before I even started the car, and I have been driving for over 20 years. So now I have to do 4,295,045,000 lessons before taking it again. Bastards.
