They have to ask you a question on hedlights, so that's one I'd make a special effort to learn off.

Guys they ask 6 questions...........if you read the stickys at the top of the page it explains it all, 5 of the questions are under certain headings, road markings, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, right of way and head lights, they like asking about overtaking on the left or some like asking a speed question.
