    Default Road signs

    Just had a read of this which had me doing this for the most part, but this takes the biscuit...



    ...the first one anyway. Considering the sign says "no vehicles" under it, how the feck can 93% of people not get what that sign means?!

    i think the problem with the 1st one is that most people know it is 'no vehicles', its the 'except bikes being pushed' that they will miss....

    i wonder if the survey asked cops when should they use indicators......

    No surprise there tbh, the amount of pupils (mainly lads) that think they can pass there theory with no effort is amazing, and near enough all pupils forget it as soon as they walk away from the test centre, lost count of the times I've asked a pupil a question after there theory to get the response of I duno forgot all that now and you don't need it do you, it's scary.

    Had a pupil the other day get her mum to do the theory and she only scored 28/50 she's now all for retesting as part of your contiued driving.

    Because as Rich just pointed, out, they think as soon as the test is passed, you can forget what youve been told/taught/learned, as it simply isnt needed anymore, they just seem to think that playing dodgems with other road users is all the skill you need!

    You only need to go to a mini roundabout during busy times and see what happens, usually most people stop as they simply dont know what theyre supposed to do

    My theory was read a number plate ate 20m, and identify 3 road signs

    they might as well go back to that as the new system clearly isn't producing decent drivers, standards are shocking out there
