Moving relentlessly on

Yesterday I snuk upto the theory test centre and passed my motorcycle theory test. The two men running the centre made jokes about ageing bikers. I expected the hazard perception part – where 14 one minute videos are shown on your pc screen of road scenes and you have to click when you notice hazards developing – to be tricky, not in the spotting of them (I have been driving for many years) but in what is the right technique to convince the computer programme that you have spotted them early and are not clicking at random which gets you a nil points. I had spent a few weeks with the highway code and a thick book of bike theory test questions. Some are easy e.g. you need to replace your battery. how do you dispose of the old one? a) at a garage b) at a recycling centre c) leave it on waste ground (I can’t remember d).
I got 100% (35 out of 35) for the multiple choice and 54/75 for the hazard spotting (the pass mark is 44). So I am on course for the riding course in July. There is still the question of finding the money to buy a bike – assuming that I pass (and my son today passed his driving test first go and that is something to live up to.))
