Driving theory test – passed! (by alaric)

Woo hoo! I've passed my driving theory test.

I scored 35 out of 35 on the easy multiple choice questions ("A burning child staggers into the road in front of you. Do you (a) accelerate and run into the child so the flames are put out as it flies through the air, (b) pretend not to notice and drive past, (c) stop and help, (d) sit and watch"), and 46 out of 75 on the dreaded Hazard Perception - when the pass mark is 44!

Phew. Close. TOO close.

But anyway, onto the next step: the practical test. If I am lucky, I will get one booked before Christmas. The waiting lists around here are a bit mad.
