- Excellent Product For New Drivers And Learners Alike...
I'm not the World's best driver - quite the opposite in fact so I was glad when this product popped through my letter box as I'd hoped for a much needed refresher in the finer points of keeping myself alive on the roads.
I wasn't disappointed.
This item is especially useful for the theory and hazard perception parts of the test - the point and click where the hazard is section is particularly useful I found - and works much better than the actual test software itself at the testing centre!
The question banks for the theory test are thorough and highly realistic too - and very varied.
The rest of the package is in a "show me - tell me" format, and the practical part was especially drab I found. Anyone want to watch someone else's mock driving test? Thought not.
All in all then an excellent package which is well worth the price for the practice at hazard perception alone. I'd definitely recommend it for new and learner drivers - maybe not so heartily for those experienced road kings out there though.
Incidentally, don't be drawn in by the money-back guarantee if you fail the theory test. The conditions for this are a little finicky (you have to print off various things before sitting the test and other such stuff) - so read the small print tucked away on the reverse of the DVD liner before you jump head first into it on the basis of this guarantee alone.

I ordered this software on Wednesday, and now I have it on Saturday, thanks. Anyway this product looks professional, but I just start to use it.
Rating: - Really useful
This is a great product, I particularly like both the hazard tests and the huge database of DVLA questions - the perfect way to prepare for the Theory test.

- Fun !!
This brilliant dvd-rom makes it fun to learn about driving. It gives actual videos of scenarios where you have to pick our the hazards, it gives a real life feeling of a theory test, it tells you where your strengths and weaknesses are. I recommend ift for anyone who wants to learn about driving in a fun way. I get bored very easily but with this, I sat there for a few hours engrossed in trying to better myself. Get it !!
Rating: - Perfect
As my daughter is the one who's learning to drive, I thought it made more sense for her to write this review, so here it is...
The DVD is really easy to use and provides a lot of useful tools.
One thing I particularly noticed which I'm sure wasn't on the previous version was the help with the practical test too. This is particularly beneficial for me as I'm not able to do driving lessons now but it's helping to prepare me for the kind of things I will be learning about and the final test also - I'm sure this section will become even more relevant in the run up to the practical test.
Back to theory - the tests have to be the best part in my opinion. It's so easy to go through them again and again and are a useful learning tool; it helps me affirm what I know, what I kind of understand, and what I'm just guessing about so that I can actually have an aim with my studying of the highway code rather than trying to learn it in one go.
I have always been daunted by the highway code, but now I combine the tests with the code to break it down into more manageable pieces. I'm learning much quicker too!
Also the hazard perception test is good; I'm not always sure what a hazard is and sometimes think a post box is but the huge lorry approaching isn't. So, this part is of particular help because it teaches me about recognising hazards when driving (which I would like to be able to do!). However it would be a bonus (for me, at least) if there could be two possibilities with the hazard perception test - the straightforward test, and then a more learning-as-you-go option, so for example if I signal a hazard when there isn't necessarily one, a little box could appear saying, "This isn't necessarily a hazard", or if it is then, "Yes, that's a hazard". I find it easier to relate if I get this kind of feedback during the test rather than at the end, and then I would be able to prepare myself more so that when I start practising for the test I could turn off this feature and do it without instant feedback. If this already exists, please tell me!
Overall I would highly recommend using the DVD for people learning to drive, and I hear it's good for those recapping too. It's easier to manage than the printed highway code in my opinion, not daunting, easy to use and I feel one can learn a lot faster with this interactive style as opposed to reading it all in black and white.
It's also preparation for the real thing not just in learning and doing practice tests but in that it is electronic, just as is the exam (to my knowledge), which means you become comfortable with that format and can recall information quickly in that setting, as opposed to trying to translate pages and pages of knowledge.
All in all, highly recommended.
