Driving test check list
Its been a while since i blogged so i will try and summarise what i've been doing about this driving test. I had quite a long break over the summer as my instructors schedule seemed to clash with mine. I had around 8 lesson previous 4 weeks break. We did manage to find a driving lesson slot nearly 2 weeks ago. I was very confident after the 8th lesson but having had the break i felt i was less confident. So my advice is don't leave your lesson far apart from each other. I have decided to book my test on the 22nd of October whilst the weather still good and lessons are fresh on my mind. I have decided to set the list of maneuver i have to know off the back of my hand well before sitting my practical driving lesson.
Manoeuvres
Turn on the road ( use to be known as 3 point turn)
Parrallel parking
Reversing -
into the side of the road or
bay parking or
between parked car

FIRST DAY
It was brilliant. We drove for an hour around country side and then ventured closer to the town. I am so glad that I wasn't as nervous as i use to be driving near other cars. I think cycling for a few months have help me over come this fear. I knew one of my problem is driving this machine bigger than me which can cause so much trouble for everyone involve, if i don't have any control over it. Seeing other car or trucks next to me is so daunting. So i decided that the only way i could think of getting rid of these fear is to cycle beside these monsters. I live in a town which seem to be busy route for trucks alike. By law we can cycle on the road with them as long as the cyclist follow the rules of the road. I do whimp out when it comes to cycling around any round about so i either avoid them altogether or cycle on the path when i get nearer. And it shows in my driving, I am more hesitand round the round about.
My instructor said that i only need 20 maximum. For me thats great as i had 40 lesson nearly a decade ago and forgot everything that i learnt or so i thought.
I have been watching online clips about driving and found an online driving simulator trial version. It's good to start visualising yourself driving and looking at the sequence for each manouver.
SIMULATOR
http://www.3dfahrschule.de/uk_download.htm
There's a free demo for UK users. Its pretty good but this so far the only simulators i've seen so far. You go through different level with target to reach each time. Its set in A European country. I think its somewhere in Germany. You have an instructor of your choice who is in the top right hand side of your screen. See for yourself. Links above. Nothing to lose as it's free.
I will check out others for UK drivers next time and keep you up to date.

Disappointing first drive
I am a little disappointed by my partners reponse after driving the qashqai for the first time. He did think it was a good car but wasn't excited by it. Aparently there is no kick with the 1.5dci. This is the engine size we are looking for. On the plus side he did say it was an easy drive. It was an acenta and the finish wasn't as I had hope it would be compared to the other cars we saw today. Golf had a pretty good finish. Apparently it had the 'umph' as you accelarate. As a passenger it was

Nissan Qashqai 2010 – First photos UPDATE: Models and Prices
I've been looking at different cars and I keep going back to the Nissan Qashqai. I decided to look at the N-Tec version instead of the acenta. As its name, it is very techi compared to the other two models, Volkwagen Golf and Ford Mondeo. Both cars have been voted to by 'what cars' as one of the good cars. Golf seem to take the lead of 5 stars whilst the rest only took 3 or 4. The miles per gallons fantastic with the Golf but it just doesn't grab me. It reminds me of the car enthusiat boys sipping their beverage whilst listening to latest techno sounds. Just not me. It has been quoted as a family car but I wonder how our mixed labrador will fit in the boot.
Qashqai N-tec is winning my partner over. He manage to look at the specs. and he agreed that is the best spec. out of the rest. It has panoramic sunroof that goes way back so my son can enjoy the view too as we drive. Since I haven't pass my driving test yet and will only have pass my test when I get a car, Qashqai N-tec reverse camera will come in handy. Once you put your car in reverse the camera switches on and you can see what you are driving into or not. I think thats a big plus. Reversing in any car of any size with lack of experience would be daunting. It has bluetooth, Sat nav and the rest which my partner seems to be more interested in.
As far my reserach about the car goes, the only bad thing about it is the rear supension can be noisy. I only read this in one feedback not sure if this applies to all the model. I did hear that its sluggish but in March 1st they are releasing New Qashqai that has, as reported to have sorted this problem out. It also seem to have a new look. It looks great. The stereo is also much better. We will be visiting the showroom on Tueday and will get some picture of the current model or new one if they have it on show.

Hoorah!! Driving test here I come
Yep I've done it and i can finally say that part is over. I have sat my test and passed. So Glad. I now have the driving test to think about, but for now i will bask in my achievement. Even if it is a minuscule achievement, it is part of something bigger. Getting a new car is closer now than ever. Yeah.
Pointers:
Here is some points that may help. When they say arrive early. You really should. You given maximum time of 15 minutes practice. If you arrive 5 minute before your test is scheduled, you are only given 5 minutes of practice. The practice came in handy. I was in the library for an hour before the test to refresh what I've learnt and did a little times table to get the old cogs working after a sleepless night.
When i booked my test, the customer service asked me if I wanted headphones so the computer can read the question for me. I think it really helped me concentrate. I notice most of the others in the room had it too. Unfortunately it was a noisy little test room with 8 or so quashed in our very own little cubicle. Headphones really helped me focus. I read the question and heard it at the same time. I think that's why I got 49 out 50. Using two senses is better than one, I guess in my case.
The hazard perception test was a little more tricky. Just make sure you don't go clicking several times when you see a hazard develop. My second clip score was disqualified for doing just that. I only click 4 times in the whole clip but it was fast and right after one another.
Before you start the second part of your theory test, you are given a 3 minutes break. During this time it gives you instruction on how to use the equipment and what you are meant to do. Just make sure you click on the hazards that would make you change your speed and hazard developing and not possible hazard.
Good luck!!

Last night till my test
I'm off to my theory test tomorrow. I'm glad that I'm finally going to sitting it. I will be cramming til the last minute. Done a few mock exam and pass it all. I just hope i can get the same result tomorrow. I hear and read so much about people failing their driving theory test despite of being known as the easiest test ever...mmm... will try not to think like that. Happy thoughts.
After i sit my test fail or not, I can move on to my next task in my list. Preparing for my dissertation and my little essays, exams ut firstly for christmas. I have seen so many brilliant blogs from very creative people that inspire me to do the same. I have decided to make my own centre peice for our dining table and got my son to make decorations out of salt dough. He had so much fun doing, I highly recommend it. Will post all pictures as promised.
Will always be adding some more

Christmas school play :(
I had to postpone my theory test till next week as my son school play has been brought forward. I am a little peeve to say the least as I was not told this on any memo. I missed out on the tickets for the show. I can't even go and watch the show. Its a small school. I would have to be sitting twiddling my thumb waiting for a ticket cancellation but i wouldn't want to be anywhere else than be there for my son. Of course if I regularly helped the school I would get the first chance to know about the tickets. This is the perks if you don't help out. :(

DAY 19 - Tick Tock
I've done a little revising. I've got a really awful headaches so this is affecting my tolerance level. i was going over the 'Document section' in part 1 and notice some questions are unfair. It might be my headache talking but it isn't making it any less irritating to answer them. One question was ' What info can be found in your vechicle registration document?' Me thinks bit unfair. You have to have owned a car to know this. It probably in the 'The Highway code' but thats beside the point. I can't find it and i have a pounding headache and I only have 11 days. Not fair... pout...pout...*reluctantly smiling at my pup*
Need to stop self pitying and plod on. 11 days to practice my theory test and hazard perception. Yep still some days left. I've covered all section bar 1. I just need to revise the mistakes i've made and memorise the traffic signs and the overall stoping distance for different condition.

I found another site that offer free theory test with case study. Its worth checking out. www.theory-tests.co.uk . Don't confuse this to another site called www.theory-test.co.uk . You will be forgiven if you do as the only difference is the 's' in theory-test's'. The first link provided is from the Northern Ireland Driving Standard Agency (DSA) and the second is a business offering practice theory test and hazard perception and online mock theory test. I do recommend it.

Day - 17 Panic sets in...
I have been very busy this week doing everything else instead of studying. My class is keeping me busy. We are setting a charity and i've decided to join. Don't know my role yet. So far all the roles are used. Brilliant for me at the moment as i have to much on my plate.
I had a few workmen sorting the house and shower room out that disturb my routine. Then the heating packed in. Not a good time with frost and unbelievable amount of rain and flood came our way. (will take some picture of river and lake burst its banks) Not seen anything like it before.
I know what your thinking, any excuse. Unfortunately it has happen but as they say onward and upward.
Driving theory test Part 1
Ok, my 'Driving theory test countdown clock' said I have 12 days. Not so good. I've been using the online http://www.theory-test.co.uk when i can. So far it is the best i have used. It is thorough which what we need for our driving theory test and hazard perception. It advices you to cover each section, total of 14, with 1200 multiple questions for part one. You are to grade each question to either easy, meduim or hard. You also have the option to review the same question if you feel you are not going to remember it or not sure about it. It records the question you made a mistake on.
One of the options i really like about this site theory-test.co.uk is that it gives you the option to review the 'easy', 'medium' or 'hard' section of your choice. Since it records your mistakes it give you the option to focus on those bits instead. If there is anything that i have learned in my psychology class is that, headings and repetition makes easy access to your stored memory. It places it in to your long term memory and heading helps it fish out the appropriate memory. This site allows you to do that. you can choose ie option 5 which heads as 'Hazard Awareness'. Once completed and you wanted to focus on your mistake in this section it allows you to do that and it offers correct answer, if you like. The only thumbs down is that it doesn't give you explanation why that is the right answer. For people like me who don't know much about driving, it can help with higher recall if explanation is offered.
Hazard Perception test Part 2
The second part of the driving theory test is the Hazard perception. My partner was just telling me that he knew someone who just sat his test and pass the first part with flying colours and miserably fail the second part. Yikes. This is not uncommon i have spoken to a few who have done the same. The second part seem to be the problem. ok, so why?
I think in my opinion there is not enough info about it. When i first sat my test. It was only then in the reception that i asked if you have to point at the hazard and click, do you click the mouse just before it happens or do you click at all possible hazard? Heres what he said,
CLICK ANYWHERE in the screen.
Only click on DEVELOPING HAZARD. Not potential hazard or just a milisecond before hazard occur.
Do not go clicker happy. It will exempt any marks you get from that clip.
It is easier said than done at the moment. Tomorrow I have more workmen coming over. Then I have to go to my class but must really revise before i go. I just hope i can get an hour of this done tomorrow, at least.

I've subscribe with theory test.co.uk and bought the 30 days package which includes all dsa questions that they have and all the hazard perception test. So far i think it not bad. The only thing i don't like is the clips are really awful quality. You can't tell if the black dot in the screen is a shadow or a person. It does affect your score. Having said that, there are some clips that are good. I'm pretty sure in the real ' theory test hazard perception the clips are going to be much better quality.

Day 5 Challenge
Not done much studying since Wednesday. Tried to make up for it today. I was using my son's confiscated dsi. (Confiscated because of other reason not because i want to use it.) I did feel a bit guilty. Since I told him, me using his precious dsi means he is helping me pass my test which leads to getting a car and him getting ridden to the soft play area whenever we can. I think that did the work and he doesn't mind me using his ds.
I had been using the DSA option and getting really into it. I manage to go as far as the 4th 'Safety Margins' . It seem to me that the questions repeating itself even when i have turned that option off. I think there doesn't to enough question for each section so far. Its worth getting different types of study aid.
A few of the question was about the different types of crossing. Here is what i made in my previous blog:
Pelican crossing
This type of crossing is an old and common type of crossing that you will find in most places around UK. Its pretty basic with a button to activate the crossing process. Green or red man will lit up to indicate either to walk or to stop.
Toucan crossing
This is for pedestrians aswell as cyclist. Same rules as Pelican crossing but this allows cyclist to cycle across and now you don't have to look above and across to see the little man.
This is modern of the traffic lights. It has a sensor which intelligent enough to know that there is a person waiting to cross. I read somewhere that these are going to be replacing the soon to be extinct pelican crossing.
Pegasus or Equestrian crossing
Dummies guide to traffic lights
If your reading this then you more likely not a driver. You probably don't pay much attention to the sequence lights shown in a traffic light. It not a simple as red-> amber-> green as i thought.
Apparently its
RED,
RED and AMBER together
then GREEN
Then from green its GREEN, AMBER and RED

- Flashing amber in a pelican crossing means you can pass if it is safe to do so. Give way to pedesterian already crossing.

Pegasus or Equestrian crossing
This crossing is for horse riders and pedestrians. As you can see there is a different pole with push button unit for horse riders. Situated well behind the pedestrian push button unit.
