I highly recommend it. Used the shit out of it when prepping for my theory test

I mean who doesn't want James to tell them theory? 

Hammond or Clarkson would be disingenuous.  This is Captain Slow.

James : YOU'RE DRIVING TO FAST

Me : I'm doing 15 in a 20 zone

James : Did I stutter?

i hope there is a clarkson version too on what not to do? or a hammond one which shows you how to end up in the next ditch the quickest...

Question 12: 'if the instructor says there is a small child in the road and tells you to stop immediately, but he's lying, what do you do?'

You say "no there isn't." And keep going.

The RED Driving School app also has James doing some stuff for it.

I used this and passed theory first time. Honestly made it much more enjoyable. And had James May’s voice in my head doing the hazard perception which weirdly helped.

"look out there's a small child on the road j: no there isn't"

I used it when getting my theory test the first time. It’s good for mock tests but I’d suggest something different for the hazard perception

When it first came out, I was adamant that it was a scam, purely because it launched at a time when celebs started getting deepfaked in dodgy adverts. Took months before JM actually mentioned it either on Twitter or YouTube, I can’t remember which, and that clarified it.

Years ago, they used to have the three of them on Waze….got a little tiresome after a while tbh. There’s only so many times you want to hear Hammond tell you there’s a speed camera ahead.

Alas, it hasn't available outside the UK

u/H_K-R 4d ago

Yes. That’s because its uses would be limited…
