Location114 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I know this seems a daft question but i need a tape measure that will extend to over 20 metres reason being i have bad eyes and i want to practice the number plate test before i take on any driving lessons. any advice would be appreciated.

cgksheff Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 If you are unable to judge 20 metres (it doesn't have to be that accurate!), how will you be able to judge safe distance (stopping, gap between nearest car etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyLover Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 If you are unable to judge 20 metres (it doesn't have to be that accurate!), how will you be able to judge safe distance (stopping, gap between nearest car etc.)? I was thinking that! To the OP, why not just take about 20 strides! The examiner won't measure out with a tape measure to test you anyway, it will just be an estimate. Or, why not book an appointment at the opticians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dongle Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 you want to brush up on your stopping distances as well, as they dont let you get out and measure the gap first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
