What is the Driving Theory Test?
The driving theory test is an essential step before you can book your practical driving test. It has two main parts:
- Multiple-choice questions – 50 questions covering road rules, signs, and safe driving. You must answer at least 43 correctly to pass.
- Hazard perception test – watch video clips and spot developing hazards. You need to respond quickly to gain points.
The test usually takes about 57 minutes for the multiple-choice part and around 14 minutes for hazard perception.
