I was paying my road tax online recently and, while idly browsing the government web site (yes, I know, sad isn't it...), came across the online driving theory test. Having passed my test over 40 years ago - at a time when it was quite different from today's test in content, I thought I'd chance my arm and take it 'blind' - no previous reading up, etc.

It's in two parts - 50 questions each part and the pass is 43 questions correct. So - your mission, should you choose to accept it - is to do it, see how you get on, and report the answers here. No cheating now...

I should say that I got 46 out of 50 for each part - my knowledge of towing trailers and caravans needed a little polish!
