How long does the driving exam last? And is the theory hard?

The Theory part has changed from this month from 35 questions to 60 questions (I think). Multiple choice questions. Part 2 of the theory test is the hazard awareness part which is so hard to explain.

 

The actual driving exam is around 45 minutes long.

It sounds more difficult than in France!

 

Here, the theory part is made of 40 questions, and you don't have to make more than 5 mistakes.

 

The driving exam lasts 30/35 mins...

When it was 35 questions, you had to get 30 questions right.

 

And it's September 2007 when it increases to 50 questions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_test

Oh there're 3 parts in UK?

 

Here, there're only two. But, it seems difficult when I hear, around me, that many youngs have so much difficulties to get it!

 

Is it the same in UK?

There are 2 different parts to the theory test side, of which you have to pass both to get your theory test piece of paper. Fail one half of it and you fail.

 

For the practical test side, it depends where you take your test. Some places are easier to pass than others.

I don't know if I already asked you, but how many cars did you own since you got your driving licence?

I'm on my 2nd car.

I passed 1st time :smug:

^So did I! And I was proud of it cos no one thought I could get it so quickly!

Well, you know how a 205 looks like :) lol

Mine was light green...

We never lost it when it was in a parking full of cars...

Flashy!

2nd Gen of Polo

Ah, yeah! I forgot the first gen was an AUDI 50 with the VW logo!

My first car was a Ford Fiesta. Until I got my lovely Mazda :nice:

Which version of Fiesta?

Ugh Fiesta...:lol:

^Ditto!

I had a Fiesta '93... so crappy! Bad handling when it was wet...

The last ones are better.
