Some Helpful Tips
Provisional Driving Licence:
You can apply for your provisional driving licence online by visiting the Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) website or ask your local Post Office for a D1 application form.
Apply for your provisional licence up to 2 months before your 17th birthday or up to 3 months before your 16th birthday if you are registered as disabled.
When you are in receipt of your driving licence you can book your theory test from the date of the legal age to drive.
Theory Test:
You will need to pass a two parts test; the first part is a multiple choice test and the second is a Hazard Perception test. Both parts are done on a computer by using a touch screen for the questions and a computer mouse for the hazard perception to test your response on the 14 video clips.
Even though you are in a room with several other candidates you are screened from one another and you have the option to wear headphones to drown out any distractions. You must pass both parts.
Multiple Choice Questions:
Before the test starts it is important to listen carefully to the explanation on how the test works.
A practice session of the multiple choice questions is available to help get used to the layout of the test. The real test will start at the end of the practice session.
As a multiple-choice questions test you will be provided with several possible answers of which you need to select the required amount of answers for each question.
You have the option to flag questions if you are unsure and would like to answer at a later stage in the test. Remember never to leave a question unanswered, even if you guess. An unanswered question will be marked as wrong.
Take advantage of the three minutes break before starting the Hazard Perception test.
You need to answer 50 questions within 57 minutes and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.
Hazard Perception Test:
Before the test starts it is important to listen carefully to the explanation on how the test works.
You will be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes. In 13 of the clips there is one developing hazard and 1 clip has two developing hazards.
As you do not know which developing hazard has been selected by the computer, you will need to click on whatever situation you deem a hazard.
The score for each clip ranges from 0-5. The pass mark is 44 out of 75.
Driving Test:
Eyesight test:
You will have to read a number plate from a distance of:
20 metres for vehicles with a new-style number plate
20.5 metres for vehicles with an old-style number plate
You can write down what you see if you can’t speak English or have difficulty reading.
Show Me Tell Me Questions
The 'show me tell me' questions require you to explain to the Examiner where and how to check the tyres, brakes, fluid levels, lights, direction indicators, power steering and horn. You will be asked two questions, one 'show me' and one 'tell me' question. One question will be asked at the start of the test and the second question on the move during your test.
At the end of your driving test the Examiner will tell you the result and explain any driving faults that you may have accumulated throughout the test.
