1. Overview
If you want to drive a car or ride a motorcycle youll need to pass the driving theory test
before booking either the car practical driving test or the motorcycle practical test.
You need to have a provisional driving licence to take your driving theory test.
There are 2 parts to the theory test:

the multiple choice part

the hazard perception part

Both parts of the test are taken on the same day. You must book your driving theory test in
advance. The questions in the multiple-choice part and format of the hazard perception part
depend on what kind of vehicle you want to drive.
You need to pass both to pass the theory test.
You can take the shorter abridged car theory test if youve got the Safe Road User Award.

The theory test pass certificate


Youll then get a theory test pass certificate. Youll need the certificate number when you
book your practical test.

Preparing for the test


There are official publications and tools to help you prepare for the test, and if youve got
special needs then there are a number of facilities to help.

Obviously preparation is a key factor in being able to pass, but we wondered whether
there were particular questions that caused learners to fail.
To work this out, we analysed over 2 million driving theory tests from 150,000 test
candidates that used Theory Test Pro.
The results highlighted 10 questions that 40% of learner drivers fail to answer correctly.

40% of learner drivers cant answer these questions


1. You are involved in a collision. What documents may the police ask you to
produce?
2. Name three situations where you may overtake another vehicle on the left?
3. When can you drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line?
4. How can you identify areas reserved for trams
5. You have broken down on a motorway. When you use the emergency telephone
what information will you be asked?
6. Where would you find reflective amber studs on a motorway?
7. You are in a collision with another moving vehicle. Someone is injured and your
vehicle is damaged. What four things should you find out?
8. If your car has unbalanced wheels, what can this cause?
