The Driving Theory Test UK

Learning To Drive

Before you are allowed to drive unsupervised you are required to pass two tests. The Theory / Hazard Perception Test and the Practical Driving Test. However, even before you can take these tests you will need to obtain a Provisional Driving Licence.

What is theory test?

 

This is a 50-question multiple-choice test. To pass you must answer 43 or more questions correctly within 57 minutes. Questions are chosen at random from a bank of over 1,000 questions, and you answer by touching the screen. During the test you have the option to skip questions and return to them later. It's ok to study for your Theory Test whilst in the early stages of your Driving Lessons with A1 Driving School .

What is the hazard perception test?

 

This is part II of your theory test and contains a series of 14 one-minute video clips showing potential road hazards. You have to identify 15 developing hazards (one clip has two hazards). The faster you identify them, the higher you score. You need to score at least 44 out of 75 to pass this test (each hazard has a maximum of 5 points) and you have 20 minutes to do it in. You can't repeat any of the clips – the idea is that on the road you don't get a second chance with hazards.
