    Might as well drink more Pepsi and do some more theory test stuff.

    Just did another mock hazard perception and got 88% on that one, I got 82% on the one I did last night.

    I however, got the worst score I ever got on the theory mock. Oh well, I need to learn road signs, stopping distances and some other general crap.

    Ugh calculating stopping distance and all that shit is so incredibly boring. I did learn how to just before the test but today I don't remember at all.

    At 70MPH it's the longest distance of the 4 given.
    On ice it's 10x longer than normal.

    Can't remember the one for rain, think it's around 5x longer than normal?

    We had to do silly calculation and figure out the stopping distance(distance it takes from you reacting to the car standing still), "breaking distance" (distance it takes from you slamming the breaks to the car standing still) and "reaction distance" (how long it takes before you hit the breaks).

    You don't have to learn that?

    Don't think so. It's just multiple choice questions like:

    If the stopping distance is XXXXXX in normal conditions, what is it likely to be on ice?

    1. 2 times worse
    2. 3 times worse
    3. 5 times worse
    4. 10 times worse

    Something like that anyway.

    Time to forget what it all means and have fun driving!

    I'm at the stage where I must know what every sign means, and can't have fun driving.

    Exactly!

    Signs are pretty easy though. You'll get the hang of it quickly.

    I have just been having a guess at what they mean, cos I don't know at all for the bizarre ones. Then it's just memorisation.

    Any special ones you don't know? Not sure how similar our signs are but maybe I know some of them.

    Crap like a triangle with Ford written on it. Just took a guess, it means to test your brakes (IIRC). Never seen one of those signs in my life.
