Try your hand at the driving theory test
Driving theory test
If you wish to drive a car or ride a motorcycle on the roads, you will need to pass the driving theory test before you book either your practical driving test or the motorcycle practical test.
Remember, you need to have a provisional driving licence in order to take your driving theory test.
There are two parts to the driving theory test, both taken on the same day. First you have to sit a multiple choice exam ( a sample of which you can have a go at above). Next, there is a hazard perception test – the questions and format of the hazard perception test vary depending on what kind of vehicle you want to drive. You need to pass both to pass the theory test.

There are two correct answers to the first question; ‘Doubled’ and ‘Up to 10 times greater’, since doubled is in fact also up to 10 times greater.
