Q. What is the UK driving theory test?

The UK driving theory test was introduced in July 1996 as a written examination and updated to a computer based test in 2000. The test is conducted by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency). Everyone who wants to have a full UK licence has to clear the theory test first and then only will be able to appear for the practical driving test. The theory test consists of 2 parts. The first is the written part which consists of 50 multiple-choice questions (selected randomly from a bank of over 1200) about a wide range of 'driving topics', such as car or bike mechanics, the Highway Code and driving law. The second part is the hazard perception test forms a second section of the theory test and must be passed at the same time.

This part of the theory test requires you to view 14 hazard video clips on the computer screen of approximately one minute each. You are required to watch these clips as if you were the driver. There will be 15 hazards to find - at least one on each clip. However, one clip will have 2 hazards. The hazard clips will not contain any sound. The clips feature various types of hazards, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. You should respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing that may result in the driver having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction. The earlier the developing hazard is spotted, and a response made, the higher the score.

Candidates can score up to five marks on each hazard and the test contains 15 scoreable hazards. You click either the left or right mouse button whenever you think you can see a hazard developing. The speed at which you click the mouse button as a hazard develops will determine your score for that particular hazard clip. You can score between 0 and 5 on each hazard.

The pass mark for this part of the theory test is 44 out of 75 (i.e. 15 hazards x 5) for car drivers and motorcycle riders.

Those taking LGV or PCV (lorry or bus) tests must score at least 50 out of 75.
If you fail in any of the sections, you have to give the theory test again.


Q. How to book, change or cancel your theory test appointment?
Theory test appointments can be booked, and subject to three clear working days notice, be changed and cancelled using the online booking service or the telephone. You can also download an application form and apply by post. Before you can take your theory test you will need to make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence.

cent of theory test candidates receive an appointment date within two weeks of their preferred date.

Before taking your driving theory test

About driving theory test
To get your full driving licence you need to pass two tests, theory test and
practical test.

Driving theory test -
The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole test, and you'll need to take both parts again. Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.

A. Multiple choice element

• The theory test is a computer-based test at various tests centres around the country.


• This section is designed to test your understanding of the theory behind driving.


• Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works. You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.


• You have 57 minutes to complete the test. There is a 15-minute practice session you can work through before starting the tests.


• The questions in each multiple choice test vary according to the category of vehicle you're hoping to obtain a licence for, i.e. a motorcycle theory test will contain specific questions that don't appear in any other test.


• A question and several answer options will appear onscreen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may require more than one answer.


• You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come back to later in the test. After the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts.


• For cars and motorcycles you'll be asked randomly selected 50 multiple-choice questions in 57 minutes and you need to get at least 43 right to pass. For lorries and buses you'll be asked 60 questions in 70 minutes and the pass mark is 51 out of 60.


• The cost of the theory test is £28.50

B. Hazard Perception Test

• After the break you'll then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the hazard perception part works.



• This forms a second section of the theory test and must be passed at the same time.


• This section is designed to tests your awareness of potential hazards whilst driving.


• The hazard perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse.


• You'll be presented with a series of 14 video clips each about a minute long, which feature every day road scenes. In each clip there'll be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.


• The videos feature various types of hazard, such as road conditions, vehicles and pedestrians.


• The earlier you spot a hazard developing that may require the driver to take some action, the higher the score.


• There are 15 scoreable hazards in the tests and candidates can score up to 5 points on each hazard.


• Unlike multiple choice questions, for the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles e.g. car, bike, heavy vehicle etc, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.


• You won't be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you'll only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard.
  The pass mark for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75. For lorries and buses the pass mark is 50 out of 75.

Actual Theory Test Screen


Actual Hazard Perception Test Screen

At the end of the test
At the end of the hazard perception part of the theory test you'll be invited to answer a number of customer survey questions.

You don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to, and any information given is anonymous and confidential. The survey questions don't affect the result of the test.

When you have finished the test you may leave the examination room. Once you have left the room, you'll not be allowed to enter it again. You'll then be given your result by the test centre staff.
