I got 46/50, but what has the number of chest compressions got to do with riding a bike?? If I wanted to learn first aid I'd take a St Johns Ambulance course (well I did actually) but you get my point....

Forgive me for being a div, but even being told this was wrong i still don't get it, are seriously saying that if anything, you should take your right hand off the bars leaving only rear brake and clutch to control the bike?
The other fail was how long to cool a burn so if ya out with me, dont play with fire cos ya gonna hurt

Re: wot Moose says aboot this Q.
How would I let them know I'm stopping ? I'd stop..........and they would know. simples ! Why would I want to let them know I intend to stop ?
As a pedestrian, are we meant to start crossing before the vehicles have stopped ?

That is one that I got wrong, Moose.
there is a few issues with that, as you say lack of control and Taking your hand off the main brake, thats Bollocks.
Anyone who got 50/50. What hand jesture would you give and for how long ?
Unless you have all ready stopped, then a gentlemanly wave is acceptable.
Other wise you will hit the fookers, or skid through locking the back brake.
50/50 my Arse !

I'm sure I was once told to never signal to someone waiting to cross, it's their choice to cross when they think it's safe?
