Q: What is a driving theory test?
A: The driving theory test is an official examination that every driver in the UK must pass before they're allowed behind the wheel on public roads. It's made up of two parts, a multiple-choice section and a hazard perception section. The former tests your knowledge of all sorts of things related to road safety, such as traffic signs and the Highway Code; meanwhile, the latter involves you responding to video clips by clicking when (and where) something potentially dangerous takes place.
The test is split into two modules: one for cars and another for motorcycles. And it has three elements: • Multiple choice questions • Hazard perception clips • A case study question You'll need to score 43 out of 75 on the multiple-choice part and 57 out of 85 (70%) for the hazard perception section to pass. You must score a minimum of 43 out of 75 on the case study question to be allowed on your practical driving test.
Q: How do I book a driving theory test?
A: To take your theory test, you first need to apply for a provisional driving licence with DVLA . Once you have one, you can choose from over 200 theory test centres nationwide to take your tests at – just enter your postcode into our handy search tool below! Then all that's left is booking that vital appointment!
Q: What should I bring with me on my driving theory test?
A: Prior to going to your testing centre, make sure you bring all of the following: • Your provisional driving licence (both parts) • One photo ID (your passport, national identity card or provisional licence) to present at reception • Two different approved documents proving your address. These can be a council tax bill with your current home address on it, a bank statement showing this address and a utility bill from within the past three months with your name on it.
Q: What is the format of a driving theory test?
A: The multiple-choice section has 50 questions about road safety rules and hazards that you have to answer in just over 60 minutes. Each question is shown on screen for five seconds before disappearing, so if you don't know the answer
to each question, you only have a short time to make your selection.
The hazard perception section involves responding to 15 video clips of potentially dangerous road scenes by clicking when (and where) something is happening. As with the multiple-choice part, one wrong answer and you're out!
Q: What is on the driving theory test?
A: The multiple-choice part covers all sorts of topics related to road safety, such as traffic signs and the Highway Code. A full list can be found here . The hazard perception section therefore offers preparation for some of the most commonly seen elements on this part of the test. Here are some examples of things that might come up in this section… For example, learners often find number plates difficult. So you can use our free number plate practice tool to brush up on your skills. Other commonly found hazards include junctions, roundabouts, crossings, reversing and driving in bad weather.

You must score a minimum of 43 out of 75 on the case study question to be allowed onto your practical driving test.
Q: What is involved in taking a driving theory test?

Finally, you'll be presented with a case study question – this will involve an image of a situation that applies to your chosen type of licence. You must choose two answers from four options for this part of the test.
The entire thing takes just under an hour in total.
