About the Theory & Hazard Perception Test...

The theory comprises of a computerised touch-screen theory test of 50 multiple choice questions 5 of which are based on a case study. You need to answer 43 out of the 50 correctly to pass. The HPT comprises of 14 interactive video clips - as the video plays you will have to click when you spot a potential hazard. The pass mark is 44 points out of 75. You must pass both these tests before you can even apply for your practical test. The theory & HPT test is taken at a different centre to the practical test, your nearest theory test centres are Watford and Luton.

The theory test questions cover a wide range of subjects, which include:

Alertness Safety Margins

Attitude Hazard Awareness

Safety and Your Vehicle Vulnerable Road Users

Other Types of Vehicle Vehicle Handling

Motorway Rules Rules of the Road

Road & Traffic Signs Documents

Accidents Vehicle Loading

About the Practical test...

Once you have passed the theory & HPT test you can apply for the practical driving test. However, you must be able to drive with minimal assistance from your driving instructor before you take the test. If you can drive and control your car safely and smoothly, with full awareness of other road users and consideration for the road, weather and traffic conditions, and can competently perform all the slow manoeuvres, you are ready to pass your driving test! You should therefore be able to drive with minimal assistance from your driving instructor, apart from his or her directions on where to go. Take your instructor's advice on whether you are ready, otherwise you waste your time and money taking a test, as well as annoying the examiner and needlessly taking a test booking, which someone who WAS ready for the test could have had.

Normally you will have the use of your instructor's car for the test. However if you should insist on taking a test against their advice, you can expect this service to be withdrawn!

All you have to do on the driving test is what you should know already - there are no secrets. You should have declared any physical or mental health problems when you applied for your provisional licence. If your condition has changed, you must inform DVLA without delay. If you have any new condition or disability that is relevant to your driving, you will have to declare it when you apply for a driving test.
