In the battle between 1,000+ tonnes and 3 tonnes, the heavier one will win... And don't just rely on the alarms as well, they're known to fail (but they do fail safely). |

| 1299824 | 2012-09-10 04:02:00 | this is a good case for the plonker driving in the outside lane to switch lanes when there is someone trying to get on the motorway and then toots because you pulled out on them... | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1299825 | 2012-09-10 05:16:00 | Bugger about failing, small tip for you - look everywhere, down sidestreets, driveways, whatever, and move your head when you do it so the tester can see you doing it. I always look but got the same comment the first time because the guy doing the test wasn't observant enough to see where my eyes were looking. If you see a hazard up ahead feel free to mention it and score some brownie points. On the way to my test in a driving school car my instructor pointed out a closed lane that the test would normally go through and told me to point it out when the tester asked me to use the lane, got a big tick for that one. |
