Traffic lights, Motorway studs, Theory Stuff.

Right.

Traffic lights, 2 main sorts, Puffin which are all over the play which arent specifically designed for pedestrians to cross (Ie they have to buttons to push) Right?

Toucan, Same as normal traffic lights, but they have a button and bikes can cross on them?

zebra, has a button, people only? Has zebra-esque strips on the road near them.


Which way to traffic lights go for drivers and pedestrians? I know red is stop (if its safe to do so) REd, steady amber then green? When does amber flash? When its going from green to red?

Motor way studs

I assume they are just red and white? Red on the left just like an airplane wing, then white?


Also, stopping distances and braking distances, which is the one where you have to think? Whats the formula for working it out?

I hope your test is not too soon

Nah, it's at least a day away.


My past rate with Driving test success is 85% (Both theory and hazard clicky bit) But some simple questions i just get plain wrong :/

Remember, read 'toucan' as 'two-can' - that means its for pedestrians and cyclists!

I do, i just cant tell the difference between them.

I'm always behind other traffic (most of the time) and If i'm not I look at the lights and get ready to go when its red/amber steady(i think) and just go when it's green.

This is all so confusing. I just did a mock and go two wrong.

One about tram areas (I dont even live in blackpool!) And another about a car following you too closely (I said move left so he could overtake, the correct answer was slow down! He might crash in to me!)

 

[iBot]

have you even read the highway code at all? It seem like you don't have a clue

Yes I have.

 

[iBot]

And do any of you know the answer to this?

If your driving along a section of motorway and the cats eyes are red in all lanes what should you do?

Opticians?

 

[iBot]

If you see them keep going in that lane untill you really have to move out of it and cut in line of people who have been queuing for past mile

heh, good answer.


So stopping distances basically double for wet roads and 10 times for icey roads?

33/35 on the questions
55/75 on the hpt

easy as, I suppose nerves are to blame for most peoples failings or they just get unlucky with the questions or fail the vague rubbish hpt nonsense bit.
