The Theory Test
Since 14 November 2002 you will be asked to answer 35 multiple choice questions, followed by a test of your hazard perception skills. You will need to pass both parts of the theory test at the same sitting to obtain your theory test pass certificate. You will need a score of at least 30 out of 35 to pass.
Hazard Perception
You will be shown a series of video clips and told to click the mouse button when you see a hazard appear in the video. You must obtain a score of 44 out of 75 to obtain a pass.
Why has the test changed?
Each year around 3,400 people are killed on Britain's roads. New drivers take much longer to recognise hazardous situations than more experienced drivers, and many driving test candidates have poor scanning and anticipation skills.
These skills are vital for safe driving. By introducing the new hazard perception part to the test, we hope to encourage more drivers to develop hazard perception skills while they are still learning to drive.

Provisional Licence
A Provisional Licence enables you, the learner driver, to learn to drive a car.
You must have a qualified driver with you who is at least 21 years of age and who has held a full licence in that category for at least three years.
You are not allowed to drive on a motorway unless you are a learner lorry or bus driver or learning to drive a car and trailer (B+E).
