There are three parts to passing your driving test. Before you can take your Driving Test you need to pass the theory test which can be taken at any test centre.

The Theory Test
Multiple choice this involves you answering 35 random questions using computer touch screen technology of which at least 30 need to be correct to gain a pass.

The Hazard Perception Test
You will view a series of 14 one-minute video clips, each showing potential hazards involving road conditions, pedestrians or road users with 15 hazards to identify, and the quicker you can identify the hazard, the higher the score. You need to score a minimum of 44 marks out of a possible 75 to pass.

You need to pass BOTH PARTS of this test at the same sitting otherwise you'll need to re-book and take the test again. Help and guidance for this test is available from your instructor. To study for this there are a number of publications available in many of the high street stores.

Publications:
The Highway Code, a book that you must have.
• The Official Theory Test for Car Drivers, examples of questions and answers.
• The Hazard Perception - Roadsense DVD

The UK Theory Test requires more than just knowledge of the Highway Code, you must have a good knowledge of the following to pass it i.e. alertness, attitude, safety and your vehicle, safety margins, hazard awareness, vulnerable road users, vehicle handling, rules of the road, traffic signs, motorway rules, documents and accidents.

You can also test your knowledge online by going to the DSA website >

Once you have passed your theory test, a practical driving test can be booked. Many students ask how many lessons will I need? Overall it is down to each candidate's ability as to how quickly they adapt to the training given by the instructor.

iT IS THE MOTTO OF THIS SCHOOL THAT WE WILL NOT TAKE YOU FOR
MORE DRIVING LESSONS THAN NECESSARY.

The Practical Driving Test
The test will be conducted over a period of 40 minutes. You will be asked to complete two of the four manoeuvres, these are the reverse corner, reverse parallel park, bay park and turn in the road. On test routes that are designed to include more high speed single and dual carriageways. An Emergency Stop which will be carried out at random during the test.
