    50 questions, multiple choice answers. 4 possibles, 1 is always really daft so it’s really 1 of 3. A couple of video clips with multiple choice answers. Then a series of video clips where you need to react to a hazard developing. Bicycles swerving in front of you, horses in the road etc. There’s even one clip that has 2 swans crossing the road.
