The theory test will include a hazard perception test which comprises a selection of film clips showing real road scenes and potential hazards.
You will be assessed on how soon you spot the dangers. This new test will form part of the current multiple choice theory test.
You must pass both elements to pass your test. If you fail either the existing multiple choice section or the new hazard perception test you will fail the whole test.
Ask your instructor or trainer for more information.
You will also be sent a short instruction video and some other information about the new theory test.
We strongly recommend that you watch the video and read the information before you sit your test

Theory Tests
The Theory Test for Car Drivers and Motorcyclists was introduced in July 1996. It is designed to improve the safety of newly qualified riders and drivers by making them think carefully about the right attitudes needed to drive safely on today's busy roads.
Areas of assessment include
To
pass the exam you must answer at least 30 out of 35 multiple-choice questions
correctly. To help you study and prepare for your theory test the Driving
Standards Agency produce the Official Theory Test for Car Drivers containing the
questions and answers. This is updated annually.
A CD-Rom containing all the questions in the question bank is also available.
The
core material for the theory test questions are taken from the following DSA
publications
The
Highway Code
Driving - the Essential Skills
Know Your Traffic Signs
It is important that you study - not only to pass the test - but also to become a safe driver. More information about the books available can be found by visiting our Publications section.
When
you take the theory test, you’ll be asked some specific questions regarding
the category of vehicle being tested, as well as questions that apply to all
road users.
Weekday, evening and Saturday test sessions are available. Arrangements can be made for candidates with special needs. You must tell Booking Section Staff about your special needs when you book your test.
The touch screen theory test has been specially designed to make the test more accessible to the general public. It is particularly helpful to people with special needs. All that you need to do is touch the screen to indicate which answer(s) you think are correct.
