Learning to drive can often seem a confusing and complicated process; particularly with the numerous forms that need to be completed and the vast amounts of learner driver information you need to remember.

This part of the test comprises of multiple choice questions covering different aspects of driving, and other related issues. Most of the required information can be found in publications such as the Highway Code and the Essential Driving Skills, a book published by the driving standards agency. The theory test is a 50-question multiple-choice test. To pass you must answer 43 or more questions correctly within 57 minutes.

Practical Driving Test

• If you have the old type paper licence you will also have to bring a valid passport.
• No other form of photo identification will be accepted.

• Theory test pass certificate.

This part of the driving test is approximately 35-40 minutes in length. It requires the candidate to show that they have a sound knowledge of the highway code, and also show that they have the ability to drive on various types of road, whether they be in town centre, urban or rural areas, and in different conditions. The candidate will also be required to perform two slow reversing manoeuvres , they may also be asked to carry out an emergency stop.
