![]() ![]() You only get one attempt at each video, and need to score at least 44 to pass. In the car and motorcycle tests, there are 15 scorable hazards, meaning there’s a possible 75 points up for grabs. You can score up to 5 points per hazard, and will score fewer points the later you spot it. And just to mix things up, one video will feature two potential hazards, not just one. The hazard might be caused by another vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian or road condition - so you’ll have to stay alert. These are events which would cause you to take action, such as changing your direction or speed. You will see an everyday driving situation, and will need to identify hazards as they become apparent. The test comprises a series of 14 videos, each around a minute long. This will test your awareness of developing hazards in a driving scenario.īefore you begin, you’ll be shown a short video to explain how this works. Once the test is underway, it’s possible to flag questions if you’re stuck, and come back to them at the end.Īfter a short break, it’s time for hazard perception. You have a short practice first, to get you used to the format. Out of a possible total of 50, you need a score of 43 to pass. There are a further five case-study style questions. Although largely randomly selected, there will be a few questions specific to the vehicle you’re taking the test for - such as motorbike-related questions. The theory test comprises two parts:įirst up, the multiple-choice section has 45 theory questions, which will test your knowledge of the Highway Code and driving theory. Try it out on the online practice one, I think you'll notice your scores go up dramatically.OK, let’s get down to business. They expect people to do a bit of extra clicking because that's just human nature, so if you're clicking every half second or so, ten clicks is well under their radar of what may constitute "unfair" clicking. I'm not saying click like a madman, because that may get you flagged up. And even if you miss the five points there is no way you will miss the timeslot altogether, unless you miss the hazard, that is. That way you will almost certainly land a click in the first period of a second which will net you five points. Being alert and on the ball, however, you will tend to click a bit early, for example upon seeing the girl on the pavement, rather than when she starts to turn into a hazard by wandering in the direction of the road.īecause you usually spot the potential hazard before their countdown starts a safe bet is to start clicking at half second intervals once you see the potential hazard, and then stop clicking once that hazard has played out. There is a five second period going from when they think you should have spotted the hazard until it has actually occurred with the seconds scoring 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I've had my licence for nearly 40 years and am lucky I don't need to pass this test - any help for daughter would be appreciated.įrom what I remember it's actually pretty easy to exploit the system they use to mark your reactions, and the point where you see the hazard developing is often before their "countdown" starts. Have tried this technique and have achieved a couple of 5's but still find it difficult as I'm clicking when the child is heading for the road off the pavement rather than when they actually step into the road.Ĭan anyone offer some clear and accurate guidance on when the click is most effective and how many clicks you can do without being penalised for it. Initially I was clicking just once but am told you can click several times without being deducted marks. I have been on several ex Police driver run courses and feel I am perhaps over aware so find myself clicking as the hazard develops rather than when an action is required. They mark each HP test out of 5 and I have found it very difficult to get a 5 - with a 3 being the usual mark I get. 6 inch square on screen and are hard to see due to poor lighting etc but in the test centre they are apparently full screen and high definition. We have each done some of the online 'mock' tests which are not like the actual test because they usually appear as an approx. The Hazard Perception part seems to be the main problem.

![]() ![]() You can't just get a lucky head shot or spear the heart. Insects also don't have the same kind of centralized organ systems like us. You aren't easily penetrating this with a spear especially when weighed down by clunky armor. Imagine a material as tough as your finger nails but two inches thick. Honestly if we're ignoring the square cube law you have to look at their feats. Even so, I don't think he will be doing better than 4/10 on any round- insects just require too much damage to put down permenantly. The addition of a horse might help some of these rounds- it gives an extra punch to charging attacks, and the horse might work as a distraction for the insects to eat. ![]() I can see the mosquito being an 8 or 9/10 in favor of the knight. If he manages to damage a wing, he will have a massive advantage. The exception is the mosquito- he may be able to whittle away at it, as it comes close. Knight is (generously) a 1 or 2/10 for most of these. Conversely, most insects will remain unconcerned and continue to eat you even after a huge percentage of their body is gone. Hell, a black bear will run away most of the time if you make a loud noise near it. Don't forget how brutal insect life is- a bear will run away if you do enough damage. A knight vs something the size of a bear, but stronger and with pokemon powers. A knight vs a bear is a difficult, but winnable fight. The mosquito is the least capable of actually hurting a knight in full armor, but a lucky jab through the visor would be death or incapacitation, and they are exceptionally good at avoiding predators.īrave sir knight is fighting against opponents that are the size of a bear, but also considerably stronger. Even without all of that, its mandibles are on par with the ant's, and it as being of pure unfettered hatred for all living things. It may be capable of projecting acid, stinging, or (god help him if it is a parasitoidal) laying eggs on or inside him. It would twist and pin his limbs at an unnatural angle. The mantid would attack his joints, grappling him. The bombardier beetle would cook him alive before he even got into range with his spear. Said ant would be trucking along at about 30 miles per hour. The humble ant would be able to huck him across a parking lot, or crush that meaty goodness inside the armor. Does the Sir Knight have a horse? Otherwise, he's likely dead in most rounds. ![]() ![]() ![]() Change the delay panning for each delay, stereo image, choose ducking times and perfect your rhythm.

I also very much like Double Commander as its interface is ridiculously configurable (like having different fonts for individual columns): Double Commander. Total Commander is also fine, but Altap was unique in many ways, lovely GUI to work in, easily extendible with scripting (JS, VBS, Python COM) accepts major Total Command plugins and performance just couldn't be better.Try Double Commander and you won't be disappointed.

An example: 2 years ago I installed Gnome Commander, Krusader and one other file manager on Linux. That said it's wise not to expect a replication of vast majority of core TC features in its Linux alternatives. When such statement is being made people usually think of some power-user features most of TC users haven't seen but in fact this statement applies also to core usability features that are more commonly used.

Oh, and command line history is loaded from. There's an option for create file as well as create directory. For example you can create terminal tab from the current tabs location. Also I try to add interesting and useful things to it. It is still faaar from finished but I got some basics done. Now I know how this sounds and am not going to praise it. Midnight Commander is really really good, but am not that much of a terminal fan. There's also TuxCommander which (at the moment) is not listed but that thing was made using Borland Kylix (now dead project) so its development is stopped or at least doomed. ![]() Mucommander is Java based and lacks integration with system (and it's Java based, did I mention that already). Gnome-Commander cripples system theme in order to get some more speed (I guess) but it doesn't support tabs.

Porsche and the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer TAG Heuer have joined forces in a strategic brand partnership. Porsche and TAG Heuer enter into strategic partnership Visible though the sapphire crystal case back, the movement’s oscillating mass is customized to represent Porsche’s three-spoke steering wheel and bears the two partners’ logos side by side. Similar to the powerful Porsche 911 Carrera, TAG Heuer has equipped its premier chronograph with its most advanced movement, the in-house manufactured Calibre Heuer 02, with an outstanding power reserve of 80 hours. The limited-edition watches are based on the 42-mm TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph with its elegant tri-compax layout, minutes and hour chronograph counters at 3 and 9 o’clock and a permanent second indicator and date window at 6 o’clock. Only 1580 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and RSR 2.7 were produced, in a range of 27 vivid colors evocative of the 1970s, two of which were selected for the TAG Heuer tribute watches: Indischrot (Guards Red) and Glasurblau (Glazier Blue). The exact same philosophy led to the introduction of the Heuer Carrera, a chronograph that was engineered for optimal timekeeping and legibility in high-speed race conditions but was also preferred by those who valued sleek design in everyday life. A road-legal vehicle which was intended to enable customers to take part in racing events. The wheels at the front and rear were of different widths for higher cornering speeds and improved braking. Lightweight and aerodynamic, it was also the first road sports car in the world to have a front and rear spoiler (soon to be known as the “duck tail”), which ensured improved driving stability and a higher top speed. At the time it was the fastest German production automobile of its day and most powerful 911 available for use on the street. Revealed on October 5th, 1972, and designed for racing and rallying, the “Carrera RS” was the first Porsche 911 dedicated to motorsports and nicknamed “Carrera”. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 hit the market at the end of the first generation of the 911. Numerous Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and other sports cars of the brand were driven. The destinations included the Palace of Versailles as well as the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Baronville Palace.
