To obtain your full UK driving license you are required to pass two tests, a Theory and a Practical.

Test 1: Theory and Hazard Perception

This is a 1.5 hour test consisting of two parts. The first part will be 50 multiple choice questions which will test your knowledge of the Highway Code, Road Signs and Driving Skills. Pass mark for this is 43 or higher.

After a short break you will sit the second part.

This part tests your ability to identify when a Potential hazard has developed into an Actual hazard.

You will be shown 14 video clips containing 15 scoreable hazards. Each clip will last approx 1 minute and you will have 5 seconds to identify each of the hazards. Pass mark for this is 44 out of a possible 75.

To gain your Theory Certificate you must pass both of these tests at the same attempt.

Test 2: Practical Driving Test

Your test will last approx 50 minutes and will begin with the examiner asking you a couple of “Show me” “Tell me” questions.

You will then be asked to drive showing your ability to perform specific maneuvers and demonstrate to the examiner that you are a confident safe driver.

I will recommend you for test only when I am confident you are ready, have all the necessary skills to pass and most importantly be a safe driver for life.
