If you get this knowledgeable before even taking your test - then I think an expectation of perfection is not too unreasonable!

I, being deaf, have a natural tendency to look much further ahead than my parents, and so I often spot the little clues up ahead that tell me what the road is going to do.
I recall a drive back from Wales, and we were driving along dark roads that wiggled their way around the hills/mountains, and we were overtaken by someone in a Renault Senic, and I was still seeing their rear lights even from about half a mile away, on the other side of a 'u-turn' that was coming up, and I was expecting it when we came upon it, but my father wasn't, and was predictably surprised by the u-turn.
Fair point - and interesting example - fascinating to understand how reduction in one sense can see others heightened - very useful.

I meant did they work in the same fashion as the modern cars, or was it a mechanical job involving the whole headlight unit moving about a bit?
big old switch leading to a wire - so other than the stamping on them being different - otherwise exactly the same it just switches an electrical circuit on / off...
