What tests do I need to take? Before you are allowed to drive unsupervised you are required to pass two tests, the Theory Test and the Driving Test. The theory test consists of 50 multiple choice questions. You need to select the correct answer, or answers, by touching the computer screen. You will be allowed 57 minutes to complete the test. To pass you need to correctly answer 43 out of the 50 questions. The hazard perception test was incorporated into the theory test in November 2002. This part of the theory test requires you to view 14 hazard video clips on the computer screen of approximately one minute each. There will be 15 hazards to find, at least one on each clip. However, one clip will have 2 hazards.  You will be assessed on how soon you spot the dangers. The sooner you respond the higher the score. The video clips will be shown on the screen after you have completed the multiple choice questions. The pass mark is currently 44 out of a possible 75 marks and the cost of the test is £30. You can start driving lessons before you take your theory test, combining your theory study with the early part of your driving course. When you feel ready, your theory test appointment can be arranged. You can't book a driving test until you have passed the theory test. The driving test is about 40 minutes long. During this time you will be required to demonstrate your driving skills in a variety of different road conditions. You will also be required to undertake several set manoeuvres. Questions relating to vehicle maintenance were added to the driving test in September 2003. At the start of the driving test, candidates will be asked two questions, one "show me" and one "tell me". One or both questions answered incorrectly will result in one driving fault being recorded. The cost of the test is £56.50 weekdays and £67 on Saturdays.
