Theory Test

Pupils need to pass the theory test before you can get your full car driving licence. You can take the theory test from your 17th birthday onwards.

The test is in two parts

multiple choice questions

the hazard perception –  a video test about spotting hazards on the road

Both parts have to be taken at the same sitting and both have to be passed together , if you fail one part you need to take and pass both parts again.

When you pass you’ll get a letter with a pass certificate number at the test centre. You need this when you book and take your driving test. Your pass certificate number lasts for 2 years.
