My friends ds has failed his theory test again (4th attempt).
The issue is the questions on stuff neither myself or his mum or anyone I know who drives has ever come across ever in rl.
There is a whole section on what I would say refers more to being a paramedic.
How to perform cpr and how to treat a burns victim if you find one lying in the road.
Personally the questions are too simplistic.
Re the burns victim. It doesn't say how the person got the burns, if it was an electrical burn, is the exposed power supply still in the vicinity in which case pouring water on the burn could kill the person and yourself. If it is an acid burn it could be caustic soda so unless you have an unlimited supply of water you could make it worse.
In the latest attempt there was virtually uproar in the test centre as no one passed and he said people were complaining that they had taken the test 10 or 12 times and still not passed
The last time he took the test the questions were all about car engines. Again no one I know even looks under the bonnet.
He is a very good driver, his driving instructor is itching to put him in for his test, has been since August. His mum is shelling out hundreds on driving lessons just so he can keep up the practical side. He spends at least an hour every evening looking at the highway code and doing the tests on the app. He passes them because they are about mainly driving.
He is passing the hazzard perception bit with flying colours
How many burns victims has anyone come across in their years of driving.
5 of us having spent 150 years of driving have never come across a single victim
