General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Driving tests aren't all that easy in the UK. Not the hardest in the world by a long stretch but they're very easy to fail.

The practical is hard. The theory is pretty basic. One of the questions I had was

You've just had a heated argument and are in a bad mood, but you need to drive somewhere. Do you:

  • Drive with some calming music
  • Drive fast to your destination and try not to think about it
  • Drink an alcoholic drink to calm down while you're driving
  • Wait until you've calmed down completely before driving

The UK's driving test is one of the hardest in the world apparently. A lot of them in other countries don't even take place on actual roads.

Curious which year you took your test? I didn't get any questions like that in mine.
