Gin & tonic.  makes them a bit more interesting.

haha. What do you suggest if one doesn't like Gin?
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

Thanks! I have actually taken it once... I failed epically. I hadn't studied enough.

How did you get past the boringness of the hazard perception test practice videos. I just CAN'T focus on them.
Yeah, those hazard perception videos are terrible! I honestly wasn't doing well on them either. I did two things, booked my test and then sat down and focused while actually slowing down my responses. I was suddenly scoring very well on them. At my actual test I apparently clicked in a pattern on one of them ( I disagree) and got a zero. Still passed with flying colors....or colours. ;)

I used vodka and coke, but that works too!

Well, being out of a shitty place is better than being in a shitty place. 
Good luck on the job hunt and I hope something comes up quick for you!

Think of it as an older style game?

When I took my then teenage son to take his theory test, we didn't know there was now a hazard perception test too. A father and son sitting in the waiting room told us as his son was back for a second go.  My son passed first time and said it no different to his xbox games and that he quickly realised that you must not click too soon if you want a score.

I never actually played the old school games. I usually played RPGs like Final Fantasy. haha.

I had the dvd (back when I had a DVD player...  I don't recommend stepping on your DVD player!)

It was learning the art of the click.  Once you've figured out to not click to early, it was a breeze.
